Description of the trip

Guided giant canoe trip to the island nature reserve, half-day trip

The excursion is made in clear water Niskajärvi in the water body above Verla. During the trip, we take a picnic break in fantastic surroundings and enjoy nature conservation on the island. During the break, exploring the island’s nature or even swimming on the sandy beach is possible.

In the area, we can see many waterbirds and other birds. Swan and Canada goose families are familiar with the area’s cottages. We can also learn to recognize two aware divers from each other. We might see a regular visitor to the island, an osprey, which has had a nest there for several years.

We will also learn about the region’s prehistory and hear about the oldest crops in Europe.

Highlights of the trip

Canoeing on peaceful lake
The nature of the island
Picnic by the campfire

We can exchange the small picnic meal for a packed lunch.
