Paddle on the Vantaa River with a canoe!
The Vantaa River is a peaceful paddling environment suitable for everyone
Melontaranta, located on the Tapaninvainio beach, is an excellent starting point for relaxed summer paddling trips. The Vantaa River flows slowly towards Helsinki, so even paddling upstream is easy. Weather and wind conditions may vary, but paddling on the sheltered Vantaa River is pleasant even when the sea might be causing you concern. Rent a canoe and enjoy a summer day on the Vantaa River!
A canoe is a great choice for leisurely paddling and family trips!
Compared to a kayak, an open canoe is a spacious and stable vessel. A canoe can accommodate two adults and 1-2 children. The rental includes paddling vests for adults and children's life jackets. A canoe is at its best in sheltered waters, such as the Vantaa River!
Melontaranta is located along the Vantaa River and is easily accessible by public transport.
Melontaranta is located at Uimarannantie, 00780 Helsinki. You can get there by bus, which stops a few hundred meters away, and you can park your car nearby if necessary.
