Description

Join our experienced guide for this fun and exciting day of kayaking in Linnansaari National Park, Finland!

We will spend the day out on Lake Saimaa, which stretches over 4.500 square kilometers, due to its unique archipelago formation. There are endless inlets and more than 13.500 islands for us to circumnavigate and explore.

If we are lucky, we may even spot the Saimaa Ringed Seal, which is one of the most endangered seals on the planet. We will also have many opportunities to spot other native wildlife, including the European pole cat, wolverine and whooper swan.

When we are not exploring or wildlife watching there will be plenty of time to peacefully paddle and enjoy the ambiance of the surrounding evergreen trees and gentle hills.

Depending on your preferences, you will have the option to rent a one or two person kayak, making this the perfect outing for families and groups of friends.

The lake is generally quite calm, but can get a bit choppy in the wind. This should be quite manageable for people who have previously kayaked on large bodies of water.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for this adventurous yet relaxing day kayaking on the beautiful Lake Saimaa in Linnansaari National Park!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
