Sweden and Finland have world-class possibilities for canoeing holidays, with around 100,000 lakes in Sweden and 180,000 in Finland as well as thousands of miles of rivers.
Nature Travels offers a wide range of canoe tours from easy to challenging, from family-friendly holidays to a two-week wilderness paddle expedition.
What's more, you can camp wild along the route and often fish for your supper. In Sweden and Finland it's water, water everywhere - and you can drink most of it too!
"Canoeing is simply a great way to enjoy the outdoors and allows easy access to amazing landscapes. Possibly more than any of our other experiences, canoeing really is an outdoor activity that can be enjoyed by anyone and at any level, whether you're a family introducing young children to the magic of spending time in nature or a group of friends out for a challenging expedition.
The freedom to camp wild is exhilarating and a great privilege. There's no better way to greet a new day than over the rim of your coffee cup after a good night's sleep beneath the stars!"
Bob from the Nature Travels team
Our canoe tours are located throughout Sweden and Finland, from the beautiful lakes and forests of the south to the northern wilderness. Many are ideal for novices, while others are more suitable for a "next step" paddle adventure or for those with greater confidence in the outdoor.
Canoeing is a wonderful and very affordable way to discover the outdoors, whether you are travelling as just two persons, as a family, a group of friends or even a larger group such as a school or military group.
All our canoe tours are self-guided, giving you the freedom to discover these beautiful regions in your own way.
Canoeing has been one of our main summer activities since Nature Travels started in 2006. In that time, almost 5,000 guests have been canoeing in Sweden and Finland with us, from families with young children to school and scout groups to military Adventurous Training expeditions.
We've personally paddled in all the areas in which our tours take place - we love canoeing, and we'll be very happy to advise you on the most suitable canoe trip for you.
With almost 20 different canoe tours on offer, there's enough choice to keep you coming back for more again and again! We have many guests who return to us time and time again to try different canoe tours.
Some have progressed from the most easy-going introductory tours right up to the most challenging expeditions, while others have fallen in love with a particular area and return regularly to discover more.
