Self-paddling trip 4 days, 3 nights on the Saimaa Katosselkä in the area where is possible to see very rare Ringed seals. On this trip you will stay in the comfort of your own canoeing hut and have a sauna every night if you wish.

Saimaa Canoeing’s canoeing routes are private, serviced and particularly interesting. An easy, safe and responsible way to start a canoeing trip.

The Katosselkä region is a beautifully rugged and rocky, even wilderness-like corner of Saimaa. Most of its beaches are protected under the Natura programme, so there are hardly any cottages. Boat traffic in the Katosselkä area is generally very low, making it ideal for canoeing and nature observation. Katosselkä is also a nesting area for the Saimaa ringed seal, so in spring you need to be particularly sensitive to avoid disturbing the seals with paddlers.

The Three Cabins Canoeing route is a luxury paddling trip, where a small group does not have to sleep on a hard mattress or wade around in a tent with wet gear. You paddle during the day in the beautiful scenery of Lake Saimaa, have a sauna in the evening and then sleep in a bunk in a paddling cadins for the night. The first two nights are on private islands, and the third night’s hut is no worse for the peace and quiet. No neighbours in sight.

PLEASE note that starting point is different than our Base Camp!
