Sweden Holidays: Canoeing & Timber Rafting in Sweden for Independents, Families & Groups

Summer > Canoeing and Timber Rafting

With around 100,000 lakes and thousands of miles of rivers, Sweden has no shortage of water. From a two-week self-guided canoe expedition into the wilderness to a bushcraft canoe tour with local guide to life aboard your very own timber raft, Sweden is an ideal playground for water lovers. What's more, you can camp wild along the route and often fish for your supper! In Sweden it's water, water everywhere - and you can drink most of it too!
