Kayaking in Päijänne National Park

Sandy beaches and lagoons of Kelvenne island

Päijänne National Park kayaking tour is designed for exploring one of the biggest lakes in Finland. We start kayaking from Padasjoki Harbor and head on to Kelvenne - beloved summer destination for Finnish boaters and other outdoor enthusiasts.

On the tour we aim to circle around Kelvenne and spend one night at one of the campsites. Kelvenne is a long island known for its many beaches, steep hill sides and beautiful pine forests.

The tour is suitable for people with previous kayaking experience

We paddle at a relaxed pace and over the two days we cover a total distance of about 25-35 kilometres. You should be able to paddle at a relaxed pace for about 20 kilometres during the day.
