We offer you a unique opportunity to relax in the wilderness amid the scenic rapids, far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. This week is dedicated to well-being, nature, and peace of mind.
Guided canoeing in the Vaikkojoki river and lakes including the opportunity for white water rafting is an exciting and memorable experience in Vaikko Wilderness. The canoes are available for you during the entire week – and there is even a possibility for midnight canoeing.
Design your own week
- possibility to arrange dinner at a cozy hut and enjoy sauna and/or hot tub by the rapids every night
