Saimaa canoeing

Saimaa Canoeing is a local operator offering a diverse range of paddling services and accommodation in the heart of Saimaa’s most stunning archipelago.

The roots of Saimaa Canoeing lie in the Hanhiniitty family business and the grounds of their island home. As you set off on your paddling excursion, you get a glimpse into the local island lifestyle—and, if you wish, you can even visit the blacksmith’s workshop located on the property.

Saimaa Canoeing is committed to operating in a sustainable manner. It is vital to us that we coexist in harmony and mutual understanding with everyone and everything else in the Saimaa region—whether they are residents, entrepreneurs, visitors, or the local wildlife. Before heading out, we provide our guests with clear, comprehensive instructions to ensure that their paddling and outdoor adventures are both safe and responsible.

 

Saimaa Canoeing also offers accommodation and equipment rentals.

 

Saimaa Canoeing has been awarded the Sustainable Travel Finland label and is a member of ECEAT Finland (ECEAT Suomi Ry). Through these memberships, the company adheres to international quality criteria regarding ecological, social, and cultural sustainability.

Saimaa Canoeing is also a member of Saimaa Coop, an organization dedicated to the responsible, collaborative development of the Saimaa region.
