About the Canoe Safaris
Anyone who is able to sit in a canoe is also able to depart in a Canoe
Safari. There are no special demands in departing.
Nothing to worry
It will be an advantage if You can swim and do possess a reasonable sense
of humor, but equipped with a floating vest You will manage to get ashore
if You by any chance would end up diving into the water.
Take care
The purpose of the Canoe Safari is not to be a canoe race. The length
and the speed will be set to a level that nobody needs to feel being a
galley slave.
Group size
The number of persons on a safari may vary from
2 - 20, but can be raised over 30 if necessary.
You will need
Your clothing should be somewhat sporty and easy to wear, according to
the season. A windcheater jacket, runningshoes, possibly gloves and rainware
will be good.
The equipment provided
You may choose from indian-style canoes or inuit-style kayaks. Floating
vests, compulsory for Your safety, will be chosen according to Your weight.
A Safari package - meals and extra program
A Safari may be taylored just according to Your wishes to include the
meals of Your choise and all kinds of additional program that You want.
You will have a good time to remember later on.

Guided
Canoe Safaris
The guide and leader on our safaris will be Your host, Matti Vääntäjä,
who is also a trained survival- and canoe safari guide.
The length of a safari will be set according to the will and srength of
the departees from a couple of hours upwards.
A guided safari includes transportation from the farm to the starting
point and return if nothing else has been agreed.
The favourite is a safari of 4 - 6 hours, including a couple of small
rapids. Extra program as sauna and swimming, dinner, a night at a campfire
or something else can be included on the customer's wish.
Insurance
People departing to the guided safaris will have insurance coverage for
accidents, but those renting only canoes must make sure that their own
insurances will cover possible personal injuries.
Making a reservation
When You know Your group, contact the Vääntäjän Tila
as early as possible. We will set up and agree the time and all other
details, such as meals and additional program as You wish. This way we
can ensure an enjoyable and memorable day for You all.
Canoeing on Your own
We do rent canoes and kayaks for those adventurers wanting to travel on
their own. If necessary, we will arrange the transportation to the starting
point and returning back upon Your wish.
