Uhkua provides guided nature tours in Saimaa area, both on water and on land. With our open canoes and little fishing boat we can take you to explore Lake Saimaa from early spring to late autumn. Summer and autumn are also perfect seasons to forage berries and mushrooms during our forest walks. In wintertime we arrange snowshoeing trips to icy lake and frosty forests.

If you want to go explore nature on your own, we rent canoes, rowing boat, tent, hammocks and other camping equipment to make it easier. With the rental we can give you tips where to go and what to see.

There are many beautiful places such as old canals, top of the hills with great views and routes worth experiencing nearby. Uhkua is also Saimaa Geopark partner and knows the stories of hidden treasures of Lake Saimaa, for example Astuvansalmi rock paintings. They are easily reached by canoe, boat or by foot from our location.

Our services include guided tour packages of various levels, and custom tours are tailored according to the skill and wishes of the group. We also make a safety plan for all our trips according to the route, activity and group profile. All the tours will be done under the guidance of a trained professional. Often we eat in the nature too, weather it is a calm coffee break by open fire or more comprehensive meal in the nature.

In case you want to stay longer in the charming Lake Saimaa our floating raft accomodation and sauna gives a great opportunity to immerse yourself in the nature and have a relaxing break.
