Summer Holidays

"The best part was camping on an island with nobody else on it and having the shelter and fire pit there already."

Kylie, Canoe Getaway in Skåne, September 2024

"We loved the tranquility and complete self-reliance. We've travelled with you before and we're very happy with the service."/p>

Rachel, Canoeing on the Tar Route in Kainuu, August 2024

"It was great! Thanks! The area is beautiful. The highlight was sunny relaxing and swimming, with no one else around when camping on one of the Ångerman river islands. Pre-departure service was perfect and Niki was super responsive to our emails. I appreciated that!"

Victor, Self-guided Kayaking on the Ångerman River, August 2024

"Another epic Sweden canoe adventure. The last of three father and son trips with the boys. Amazing memories and experiences. Just wanted to say thanks for the assistance with these trips. The first was in 2017, then 2023 then this last one in 2024. Three sons - three trips planned with you guys. Thanks for the memories."

Nathan, Canoeing in Dalsland's Lake District, August 2024

"We had a really wonderful experience and would have loved to stay out there even longer! The location was really beautiful, a wild landscape with amazing wildlife, berries and clean water. We really appreciated being somewhere remote, and being able to wild camp was a luxury."

Megan, Discover Wilderness Canoeing in Rogen, August 2024

"The whole trip was astonishingly worthwhile and the scenery was stunning. After a day on the water, we worked so well as a team to pitch our camp, set a fire and cook a delicious evening meal. There were no screens to distract us. It all felt so natural to work together to make the evenings so enjoyable. The final highlight came at our small island 'camp'. Some families go for a swim in their accommodation, but we swam around ours! That feeling of floating in that cool, smooth, black water will live with me forever."

Jim, Canoe Tours on Svartälven, August 2024

"I was very impressed with the service and responsiveness pre-departure. We absolutely loved the holiday. Unbelievable scenery, great family adventure, on-hand support from the team - would definitely recommend."

Hugo, Canoe Tours on Svartälven, August 2024

"We had an absolute blast. The local hosts at the kayak centre were very kind and helpful, and full of energy. Loved every bit of it."

Ruben, Self-guided Sea Kayaking in St.Anna and Gryt , August 2024

"Thank you a lot! We had a great time and enjoyed every bit of the canoeing tour! It was amazing – on the one hand due to the incredible Finnish nature and on the other hand thanks to your support. I really liked our communication before and the booking process, as you were really helpful and quick in answering our questions. We were all alone and could truly experience the Finnish nature and everything that makes it so special."

Hannah, Canoeing on the Tar Route in Kainuu, August 2024

"Everything was perfect."

Marc, Log Cabin Escape in Värmland, August 2024

"Nature Travels offered the self-guided canoe experience I was looking for at a reasonable price. We were travelling to Sweden by train, so it was great how it was made clear how to get there by public transport. We really liked how relaxed and friendly everyone at the canoe centre was. We were treated like adults."

Katherine, Canoe Getaway in Skåne, August 2024

"We enjoyed the tranquility of the experience and how relaxed the whole process was. We chose the tour because it looked well organised but still had the element of freedom for us when there."

Ceri, Canoe Getaway in Skåne, August 2024

"The hosts are wonderful and actively tried to make sure we enjoyed our stay. The hike was easy (I am 26...) and that was fine as I wanted to relax. The support from Nature Travels was great."

Valerio, Hiking in the National Parks of Eastern Finland, August 2024

"You offered the right experience for the ages of our kids, and the perfect amount of time, too. We enjoyed switching off and just enjoying nature, the freedom to explore in our canoe, and not to be restricted where we wanted to camp."

Rochelle, Canoeing in Dalsland's Lake District, August 2024

"The Stockholm kayak tour was fantastic - our guide was lovely, really cheery as well as being informative and interesting. We would have booked another trip."

Louise, Guided Kayak Tours in Stockholm City, July 2024

"It was a great trip and I endorse the setup you have. It's excellent!!"

Ken, Self-guided Sea Kayaking in Bohuslän, July 2024

"We had a great time on our trip. The logistics worked well both before, during and after. The local host was really kind, and you were all really helpful before."

Juliette, Canoeing on the Tar Route in Kainuu, July 2024

"There were many highlights - the contrast between urban and islands and variety of islands, the quality of service from the local hosts, the hostel on Svartsö (a good opportunity to meet other travellers) and the welcoming attitude of the locals."

Rob, Discover the Islands of the Stockholm Archipelago, July 2024

"We always find Nature Travels to be excellent, thank you. The remoteness and beauty of the location was the best part. We chose three nights camping followed by two nights in a cabin on Harstena, followed by another three nights camping. This format was perfect for us."

John and Jenny, Self-guided Sea Kayaking in St.Anna and Gryt , July 2024

"We had a great time. Wonderful location to have a wilderness experience. The local hosts were terrific and very accommodating. There was so much to explore."

Graeme, Rogen Wilderness Canoe Expedition, July 2024

"Everything you did was outstanding. You were so helpful, even with things not related to your trip but to the rest of the holiday, thank you so much. The local host was delightful, so friendly, helpful and accommodating. We were told everything we needed to know. It could not have been better organised, it all worked like clockwork. Thank you for providing such an excellent service. We would not hesitate to use you again if we go back to Scandinavia."

Harriet, Hike, Bike and Paddle Stockholm's Lakes and Islands, July 2024

"We had a great trip and local host was absolutely brilliant."

Ewelina, Self-guided Kayaking in Lysefjord, July 2024

Rob, Self-guided Sea Kayaking in the Stockholm Archipelago, July 2024

"We had a brilliant time."

Annette, Discover the Islands of the Stockholm Archipelago, July 2024

"I just wanted to let you know what a great experience we had. The set-up and the quality of the kit provided was superb. Everything went incredibly smoothly and we felt very well supported throughout the trip. The kayaking and camping was lovely. We'd certainly use you again in the future."

Jo, Self-guided Sea Kayaking in the Stockholm Archipelago, July 2024

"The best part was floating down the wide sections of the river. Also the sandbanks were great to walk around on."

Danny, Timber Rafting on Klarälven, July 2024

"Very remote, beautiful landscape, outstanding experience for fishing and being outdoors. I chose Nature Travels because you were the first to appear on Google and made a good impression."

Fabrice, Discover Wilderness Canoeing in Rogen, June 2024

"The views were amazing, the itinerary was the perfect level to still have some time to relax - not too challenging, the first wild camp spot was just perfect, and we even saw some seals!"

Liepa, Self-guided Kayaking in Lysefjord, June 2024

"Consistently very good service. It was all fantastic."

Paul, Canoe or Kayak in Linnansaari and Kolovesi National Park, June 2024

Sue, Sailing in the Stockholm Archipelago, June 2024

"So many aspects of the trip were excellent, meeting wonderful people, activities, the food, scenery. Everything was great."

Caroline, Hike, Bike and Paddle Stockholm's Lakes and Islands, June 2024

Caroline, Self-guided Sea Kayaking in the Stockholm Archipelago, May 2024

"Pre-departure service was simple, efficient and friendly. We were there in May for the bird breeding season. Evenings were spent watching a cabaret of seabirds in their hundreds wheeling, interacting and raising their young."

Dil, Self-guided Sea Kayaking in Bohuslän, May 2024

"Had a wonderful holiday, thank you very much! Lovely, well kept cabin in a beautiful location."

Matthew, Log Cabin Escape in Värmland, May 2024

"The highlight was the freedom camping on small remote islands with beautiful sunsets."

Richard, Self-guided Sea Kayaking in Bohuslän, May 2024

"The best part was the general feeling of remoteness, especially as May was a quiet time of year. Excellent bird life."

Matt, Canoeing in Dalsland's Lake District, May 2024

"Literally everything was great, loved it! We loved the boat and fishing. It offered what I was looking for and I'd do the same again!"

Julie, Log Cabin Escape in Värmland, May 2024

"Thank you so much for everything you did in helping us plan our trip. I simply cannot fault anything throughout the process, from my initial enquiry to completing the trip...the whole process is seamless, it was easy to book, and your personal knowledge and advice was invaluable. We will 100% be using Nature Travels again in the future. The communication from the outset was excellent, and level of information I received was always timely and detailed."

Dave, Canoeing in Dalsland's Lake District, May 2024

Jenny, Self-guided Kayaking in Aukštaitija National Park, May 2024

"I really liked how organized everything was and the PDF we got before the start to prepare. Also equipment and all was as it was decribed before. Best part of the trip was the camping on the islands."

Marlene, Canoe Getaway in Skåne, September 2023

"We loved everything! We loved the peace. The wild camping. The vastness. But we also loved the little town of Bengstfors and the hotel. We had the best time. The whole trip went so smoothly so thank you very much. It was a wonderful experience to completely clear your head of anything but what was in front of you. I hope to do more trips with you in the future. Even your details of the public transport were so accurate and made everything simple. Can’t thank you enough for giving us the possibility to see Sweden like that."

Mel, Canoeing in Dalsland's Lake District, September 2023

"I really enjoyed the hiking tour and spending time with the guide. We got along well and it was a great experience for me."

Tim, Northern Lights Hiking in Three Countries, August 2023

"Our host was the best. He was so relaxed and great with our children. He was really patient with the youngest and our eldest (who can already sail) he really let take charge and left him to it whilst giving him hints and tips. We loved the sailing but paddleboarding in the evenings was so much fun and we really enjoyed the whole experience."

Gemma, Sailing in the Stockholm Archipelago, August 2023

"Amazing service and support with booking and planning, thanks! Very well planned trip in a beautiful place."

Sam, Self-guided Packrafting and Hiking in Tiveden, August 2023

"Good communication and lots of info. We loved being in the vast and quiet Swedish outdoors with the clean air, beautiful forests and pristine lakes. Sweden met all my expectations as a fantastic place with lovely people, great outdoor culture and nature and our Swedish host was awesome! We had never tried packrafting before, but the mix of paddling and hiking was a great blend for the terrain despite the occasional rain. Tiveden is a beautiful national park and overall we loved the whole experience and already miss Sweden."

Owen, Self-guided Packrafting and Hiking in Tiveden, August 2023

"We chose Nature Travels because of our past experience with you. The best part was coming across deer swimming between the islands, and we think quite a few sea eagles too (or something big and predatory!)."

Tom, Self-guided Sea Kayaking in the Stockholm Archipelago, August 2023

"I am writing to let you know just what a brilliant experience we had timber rafting. It was such fun - a child's dream holiday for adults! We waited 25 years to do this trip and wow it was a unique experience."

Vivien, Timber Rafting on Klarälven, August 2023

"We had the most wonderful time thank you so much. The absolute silence was what I loved the most - just beautiful. We will definitely return in the future."

Oceane, Canoe Tours in Bergslagen, August 2023

"It was an extraordinary trip and I'm so glad we did it. Thanks to everyone we dealt with at Nature Travels for organising this trip and providing such useful info. We found the trip to be a real adventure. The rafting experience was an interesting mix. Building the raft was hard work - the raft building day was about as hard as we could cope with I think. Then we had the contrast of drifting down the river in the sun and relaxing. I think that was my favourite part."

Phil, Timber Rafting on Klarälven, August 2023

"The adventure was beyond our expectations! It was so incredible to be outside, alone, admiring the sunset (and getting bitten by the mosquitoes). Having so much space and nobody around was quite new for us. The best part of the trip was the fact that we were completely alone, offline and just there to appreciate Finland and its gorgeous landscapes. Additionally the cost was affordable and the communication always great! Thanks a lot to our local host and to your support all the way."

Ocean, Canoeing on the Tar Route in Kainuu, August 2023

"We got engaged! Night three, private island, successful fishing, beautiful sunset... how could it not have been special?"

Ruth, Canoe Tours on Svartälven, August 2023

"We had a lovely time in Sweden! The guys at the canoe centre were very kind and helpful despite the bad weather and helped us make the best of our time. It was a good introduction to canoeing for our boys. We look forward to our next adventure with you."

Jenn, Canoe Getaway in Skåne, August 2023

"I chose Nature Travels because of the good reviews of friends that booked before. I loved the landscapes, the peace, the kindness of the Finnish population and the general respect for the wilderness and the National Park."

Mara, Canoe or Kayak in Linnansaari and Kolovesi National Park, July 2023

"Lots of good bits! Active holiday in a place we'd never explored before (plus we booked quite last minute and Nature Travels tried really hard to make the trip work for our dates)."

Biddy, Hiking and Island Hopping in the Stockholm Archipelago, July 2023

"We loved all of it!! The experience of living on board, great sailing, excellent food, swimming and exploring in the most beautiful islands. The info was excellent and we felt very well prepared. Also it worked for the whole family, which isn't always easy with an 11 and a 14 year old. Highlight was the sailing on the last day in perfect sunny, windy weather, when we had the confidence to sail the boat ourselves."

Cath, Sailing in the Stockholm Archipelago, July 2023

"Trip was super and our local host was very helpful. We did a last minute booking and got lots of help from Nature Travels to make it work. The highlights were travelling slow (by bike or foot) and seeing a lot of nature while not having to worry about our luggage."

Sylvia, Hike and Bike in the Stockholm Archipelago, July 2023

"Very comprehensive information. Seeing a beaver and wild camping on an island were definitely highlights!"

Peter, Canoe Tours on Svartälven, July 2023

"A fabulous weekend. The kayaking guide was excellent and the ability to wild camp makes the trip."

Jane, West Coast Kayaking Adventures, June 2023

"Thanks - this was the perfect holiday for us and will definitely be looking at another trip with you. Everything was perfect, camping on the islands such good fun. Local host in Sweden was brilliant and equipment good too."

Dan, Self-guided Sea Kayaking in Bohuslän, June 2023

"We had a fab trip! Thanks for all your help organising. Pre-departure service was great - all emails with questions and queries were promptly replied to! The best part was the the beauty of the fiord and the fact we had it mostly to ourselves once we had passed Pulpit rock."

Fiona, Self-guided Kayaking in Lysefjord, June 2023

"Everything was so well explained! Good price, easy to book, perfect itinerary for self-guided. The best part was camping in a remote area and hiking to a waterfall to camp."

Margaret, Self-guided Kayaking in Lysefjord, June 2023

"Our local host was excellent and we were fully prepared for an amazing and achievable adventure."

Howard, Self-guided Sea Kayaking in St Anna and Gryt, June 2023

"We had an absolutely amazing time on our holiday - having all of the gear ready for us so that we didn't have to pack bulky camping equipment was great. The best part was being able to choose our own island to camp on for the night! Guidance on choosing a route was also really good. Would definitely consider booking another holiday with Nature Travels! I searched for canoeing holidays and Nature Travels seemed to have a lot of good self-guided options which looked amazing."

Sarah, Canoe or Kayak in Linnansaari and Kolovesi National Park, June 2023

"Our trip was fantastic, our local host was incredible, friendly and helpful. Overall the trip was very well planned we really enjoyed the experience. The self-guided tour is an excellent idea and let us travel and explore at our pace."

Sam, Self-guided Packrafting and Hiking in Tiveden, May 2023

"We went quite early in the season and it really did feel like we had the archipelago to ourselves! It was really lovely just to take some time out from the real world and enjoy ourselves. We had done another trip with you guys and were really impressed with the service. It was the same this time - helpful, friendly and also budget friendly!"

Isobel, Self-guided Sea Kayaking in the Helsinki Archipelago, May 2023

"Had a wonderful time, thank you very much! Beautiful surroundings, good camping infrastructure, lovely local staff."

Matt, Canoe Tours on Svartälven, May 2023
