Hotel Viikinhovi – Nature Experience with Canoeing, Sauna and a Lakeside Lunch

A canoeing trip in the tranquil beauty of Finnish lake nature, coffee by a lean‑to shelter, and a campfire lunch prepared by the glowing flames on the lakeside terrace of Hotel Viikinhovi. As evening falls, you can unwind in the gentle heat of the lakeside sauna and spend the night in a luxury tent right by the water.

The canoeing tour organized by Tavinsulka offers a perfect combination of adventure, relaxation, and the joy of doing things together in stunning lake scenery. This unique experience is suitable both for experienced outdoor enthusiasts and for those trying canoeing for the very first time.

The trip begins at Hotel Viikinhovi with a safety and technique briefing led by trained guides. Participants are provided with life jackets and all necessary safety equipment, and a guide accompanies the group for the entire journey. A peaceful paddle through the beautiful Keuruu lake landscape leads to a lean‑to shelter, where guests enjoy Karelian pies, dried berries, and juice. After returning from the paddling route, a delicious outdoor lunch is prepared together on the sunny lakeside terrace of Hotel Viikinhovi. Everyone is welcome to participate in lighting the fire and preparing the lakeside meal.

After the meal, guests can relax on the terrace and take in the calmness of the surrounding nature. Hotel Viikinhovi also offers a lakeside sauna, where you can fully recover from the day’s paddling. Bringing your own sauna supplies is recommended, but towels can be rented if needed. At the end of the excursion day, you can settle into a luxury tent by the lake at Viikinhovi. The tent is beautifully furnished and equipped with hotel‑quality beds. Wake up to birdsong and enjoy a prepared breakfast served near the hotel’s stunning sandy shore.
