On this kayaking-filled day trip, we’ll discover some of the hidden gems of the Rauma Archipelago, enjoy stunning coastal views, and take a snack and coffee break on Nurmes Island, the largest island of Rauma Archipelago.
We’ll begin our kayaking trip from the sheltered Mustalahti Marina, just a 10-minute drive away from the city centre. During this day trip, we’ll cover around 15 kilometres as we explore some the most beautiful islands and hidden gems of the Rauma Archipelago while observing the surrounding nature at a relaxed but steady pace.
After a couple of hours of brisk kayaking and countless nature experiences, we’ll land for a well-earned resting and snacking break at Päiväranta on Nurmes Island. During the break, you'll have time to explore Päiväranta or take a refreshing dip in the gentle waters of the Bothnian Sea. After the break, we’ll continue kayaking for another 1–1.5 hours before returning.
The trip includes a snack and campfire coffee. Please let us know about any food allergies at checkout under “Additional details.”
