Canoeing
We organize kayaking trips in Jyväskylä and the surrounding areas for both beginners and more experienced kayakers. Kayaking is safe and fun. On our trips, you will always receive initial guidance on kayaking techniques and safe water activities. The trips currently on offer are intended for kayakers of all levels. You can go on an afternoon trip of a few hours or a full-day trip. In the summer, trips to Etelä-Konnevesi and Naarajoki. In the autumn, the popular Valo kayaking will be held during the Valo City event. Kayaking courses are available on Päijänne.
