Summer Holidays (Sweden, Finland & Norway)

"I had an amazing experience. Getting to know the dogs was my favourite part but the hosts were really good as well. They answered all of my questions and made me feel like a part of the team. Accommodation and meals were excellent. I like that Nature Travels is a small company and that the experiences feel very personal."

Megan, Autumn Training with the Huskies, October 2026

"The multi-activity itinerary is unique. Our local host was absolutely wonderful in every way. Always punctual and communicative, friendly, knowledgeable - just perfect. She even created a custom bike itinerary for us on the ride to Trosa."

Jeff, Hike, Bike and Paddle Stockholm's Lakes and Islands, September 2026

"We really enjoyed our sea kayaking trip in the Stockholm Archipelago. Our Swedish kayak hosts were great. Some of the highlights were watching the sunset and the moon rise over the still waters at our campsites and taking time to slow down and watch the wildlife; we saw many dragonflies as well as seabirds."

Susan, Self-guided Sea Kayaking in the Stockholm Archpelago, September 2026

"It was an excellent trip, thank you!"

Eleanor, Canoeing on the Tar Route in Kainuu, September 2026

"A huge thank you for helping organize my September birthday canoeing trip to the Swedish wilderness. Paddling through glass-flat lakes and camping on secluded islands gave us the ultimate escape. We experienced a profound, uninterrupted peace and quiet, not meeting anyone for two days. Crisp autumn air, cozy campfires, and complete disconnection from the modern world made it unforgettable."

Toby, Canoe Tours on Svartälven, September 2026

"It was a really great trip! We had a brilliant time. The local host was great and all the packrafts worked well."

Rob, Self-guided Packrafting and Hiking in Tiveden, September 2026

"I just got back from Sweden end of last week, wow what a trip - of course the walk was the best part - Maria at the hiking centre is just so lovely and her Mum too! Was very lucky with the weather, it rained for about an hour I was there the whole time! Absolutely beautiful place! Was sad to leave. The effort and care that Maria puts into the centre is incredible and the food too!"

Zoe, Self-guided Hiking on the High Coast, September 2026

"Wanted to say thank you for an amazing trip. So well organised and such attention to detail. Our local host was fabulous and really look after us. The information you sent before hand and the local knowledge once there was so great it made our holiday. We hope to see what other adventure trips we may embark on with you."

Diane, Hike, Bike and Paddle Stockholm's Lakes and Islands, September 2026

"Absolutely brilliant trip. Our local host was such a great person and so generous with the gear. I've used Nature Travels previously and always really happy with the service. The best part was the fact we could break our kayaking with other activities like hiking and most importantly visiting Harstena bakery and smoked eel from the kiosk."

David, Self-guided Sea Kayaking in St. Anna and Gryt, August 2026

"The canoe trip went superbly, thank you. All the logistics came together really well and we had four beautiful days of sunshine, with only a bit of rain on the last night."

Duncan, Canoe Tours on Svartäven, August 2026

"Thank you for everything! You made the trip more easily accessible. We really enjoyed the adventure as a whole, the wilderness without time and people, the blueberries and heather, the many reindeer."

Sascha, Discover Wilderness Canoeing in Rogen, August 2026

"We had a really wonderful time. We loved the walks and the swims. The hotels were great and the food also very good."

Ellie, Discover the Islands of the Stockholm Archipelago, August 2026

"Pre-departure info was very comprehensive. The highlight was rowing out across the lake (in the provided rowboat) to one of the smaller islands and having a picnic there. Thanks so much for all your help, especially in our odd request to get some books on Swedish flora and fauna delivered - which all went really smoothly."

Andrew, Lakeside Cabin Retreat in Värmland, August 2026

"Fantastic nature and possibility to use a sauna on the islands. Already did a prior trip last year to Sweden and were very happy with it."

Bjarne, Self-guided Kayaking in the Archipelago Sea, August 2026

"I just wanted to say thank you very much for such a well organised trip. All the pre-info was really helpful and the team in Sweden were brilliant. The kit and advice was really helpful and we had a great adventure!!"

Ilana, Canoe and Wild Camp in the Båven Lake System, August 2026

"Thank you. It was very good experience for all our party. Well done!"

Nicola, Canoeing on the Tar Route in Kainuu, July 2026

"My partner and I had an incredible time canoeing in Dalsland, even with the rain it was spectacular."

Matilda, Canoeing in Dalsland's Lake District, July 2026

"All of the information was excellent. We have had a great trip! [The best part was] the freedom to explore at our own pace."

Hannah, Canoeing in Dalsland's Lake District, July 2026

"Our local host was great. Really helpful and flexible in accomodating us when we wanted to change plans at short notice. The information provided was really comprehensive. Quality of the bikes was great as was the instruction from the canoeing guy. Provision of food for the camping was excellent as were the meals in Malby. Hotels in Stockholm both a welcome change from the usual chains. Mariefred and Trosa accomodation also great."

Robin, Hike, Bike and Paddle Stockholm's Lakes and Islands, July 2026

"The wild camping was amazing. Just incredible locations."

Jason, Canoe and Wild Camp in the Båven Lake System, July 2026

"We had a great holiday, thanks so much for making it happen. The wild camping, having BBQ around the campfire with lovely food provided and then seeing otters swimming in the water near the tent - it was really special. Pre-departure information was all really helpful. I'm a nervous traveller, but the clear information provided helped to put my mind at rest."

Joe, Hike, Bike and Paddle Stockholm's Lakes and Islands, July 2026

"We had a wonderful time. Thank you for all the information and help you provided for our trip."

Joe, Canoeing in Dalsland's Lake District, July 2026

"We were really blown away by this holiday and the area of Finland. Great support from Nature Travels in organising the trip. We were astounded by the space, tranquility and abundance of nature. The organisation of huts to stay was also a very welcome surprise! Very impressed with how Nature Travels operates, especially giving more environmentally considerate options for travelling."

Sophie, Canoeing on the Tar Route in Kainuu, July 2026

"Everything was absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for your help! Host was amazing, the suggested route was great, weather was ideal! Thank you all your help regarding our late arrival - it was very much appreciated! Would highly recommend you to friends and family."

Mark, Self-guided Packrafting and Hiking in Tiveden, July 2026

"The best parts were the fantastic weather and pending quality time with my son. I liked the variety of trips advertised to choose from and price seemed reasonable."

Steve, Canoeing in Dalsland's Lake District, July 2026

"My son and I had an incredible trip, it exceeded our expectations. Thank you."

Rocco, Canoe and Wild Camp in the Båven Lake System, July 2026

Richard, Self-guided Sea Kayaking in the Stockholm Archipelago, July 2026

"It was a great experience and we all really enjoyed the opportunity to explore these different islands, each was beautiful and unique. Excellent selection and options for trips."

Oliver, Self-guided Kayaking in the Archipelago Sea National Park, June 2026

"Thank you for another wonderful trip! [We really enjoyed] the freedom of being in the beautiful surroundings of Lake Saimaa and the incredibly peaceful and remote locations of the campsites and being able to fully disconnect from normal day-to-day life. We swam in the lake every day and the campsites were all in stunning locations and very well set up with firewood, cooking facilities and clean toilets."

Tim, Canoe or Kayak in Linnansaari and Kolovesi National Park, June 2026

"We had an amazing time, I think there are some jealous friends already looking at their own trip. The highlights were the campsites, with the wood there, the fire pits, the shelters (which we slept in instead of tents most nights!) and the locations. Swimming in the lake after the day canoeing then cooking round the fire. The railway trolley was a great addition as well!"

Louis, Canoeing in Dalsland's Lake District, June 2026

"Genuinely one of the best trips I have ever been on. Going for a lovely evening swim after navigating a shallow channel and pitching our tent on our own private island was truly magical. Thank you! I really liked it, and I have been recommending it to all my friends. Lots of clear and helpful information. The suggested packing list and advice for how to get to the start were particularly helpful."

Mary, Self-guided Sea Kayaking in St. Anna and Gryt, June 2026

"It was superb. Very clear, concise and useful information provided prior to departure. Expertise and personalised care - nothing was too much of a problem. They went the extra mile by arranging multiple Zoom calls with our 50-strong team. It was absolutely stunning, fun, adventurous and a great team building exercise - much better than a conference hall."

Robert, private corporate group, Guided Sea Kayaking in the Stockholm Archipelago, June 2026

"Thank you for helping to organise such an incredible trip! I'm now eyeing up a husky holiday for this winter!"

Jessica, West Coast Kayaking Adventures, June 2026

"It was a very enjoyable experience and I would recommend it to anyone who likes the idea of kayaking combined with unlimited wild camping."

Jonathan, Canoe and Wild Camp in the Båven Lake System, June 2026

"We had an AMAZING time, thank you. Pre-departure service was very helpful, really fast responses and answered all our questions. The campsites were absolutely brilliant! Really enjoyed using them as rest stops as well as camping. Local hosts were extremely friendly and easy to deal with for accommodation and canoeing. Thanks so much for making everything easy. We have already recommended you to a friend who wants to do a similar trip."

Zoe, Canoeing in Dalsland's Lake District, June 2026

"The best part was the sheer beauty and isolation, yet so easy to travel and camp. Pre-departure information was all very clear and helpful. Thanks for all quick and comprehensive responses to our many questions when both looking to book and after.

Ben, Canoe and Wild Camp in the Båven Lake System, June 2026

"Excellent combination of walking in an area we didn't know combined with the experience of a different culture delivered in such an accessible and enjoyable way, brilliant host. Fabulous holiday which will long live in the memory. Minna was an exemplary host who adapted and responded to our small group to ensure we all have a fabulous time."

Andy and Amanda, Explore the National Parks of Eastern Finland, June 2026

"We had never been packrafting before and absolutely loved it. Clear route map and great suggestions for camping spots. The camping equipment was all excellent quality."

Victoria, Self-guided Packrafting and Hiking in Tiveden, June 2026

"10/10! Great website with great level of detail, had the best options for self-guided wild camping out there. The camping spot near Djuprämen was incredible."

Callum, Canoe Tours in Bergslagen, May 2026

"The peace and quiet in nature was breathtaking. All the information was really excellent, from all the equipment, suggested routes, information on the stoves and camp kit, travel suggestions to get to the centre, brilliant. My sincere thanks to Niki and the local hosts for helping us and calling / moving things around when we missed our train. Felt really looked after and everything was sorted with no fuss."

Tom, Canoe or Kayak in Linnansaari and Kolovesi National Park, May 2026
