Description
To start with, we will meet at the Lentiira Holiday village's reception where you will learn everything you need to know about the route, weather and safety measures making sure that you have everything you need in addition to the map and paddling accessories. We will accompany the paddlers to the lakeshore and help you with boarding.
Selkäsaari island is located within sight of Lentiira Holiday Village and thus it offers a safe and easy tour spot for beginners. According to our suggested route, you will circle the island clockwise. You can easily stay on track by following the coastline.
Selkäsaari island has an area of 21 hectares and a circumference of about three kilometers. You can land on the island with every man's right. However, there are no man-made facilities on the island, so be especially careful not to leave any traces on nature.
After paddling around the island, you can continue the adventure to the nearby Kirveskansa church monument. If you so wish, you can land and take a short walk to the monument and the adjacent old cemetery, where a charming path passes in the shadows of an old spruce forest.
The return route runs along the shoreline dotted with summer cottages. At Lentiira Holiday Village's kota tipii, you can prepare coffee with the pan and fire-making equipment included in the survival package*.
The canoe and equipment will be returned to Lentiira Holiday Village at the end of the trip. You can sort any rubbish at the recycling point (log shed behind the Joutsen cottage).
Good to know
The package includes an open canoe that is a duo, which means two paddlers are sitting in the same vehicle. Canoes are very easy to climb in and out, and the paddling technique itself is also relatively easy, and progress is rather effortless in calm weather.
What to bring?
We warmly recommend that you bring at least a water bottle and warm and/or rain-proof clothing, because the coolness in the water may surprise you. Binoculars and a camera will make you happy when you come across different flora or fauna that you want to look at in more detail. It is always a good idea to pack the equipment in a waterproof sack.
