Mindfulness in Motion in Beaver territory

Duration

7 hours

About

Try out our really steady fishing kayaks in a small stream in the middle of the forest.

These boats are made to be steady enough to fish from and we sit on top of the kayak instead of in it as on a seakayak.

We meet at Wild Lapland headquarters and try out lifejackets for everyone and check that we have everything we need.

Then we get into the car and get into the forest. It´s a 40min drive through the wild before we get to our starting spot.

We start at one place upstream and put our kayaks into the water. Safety briefing and packing all our stuff. On this tour we slowly float/ paddle our way downstreams and the current gives us something 2km/h so with very moderat input of energy we get 4-5km/h, if the wind does not blow the other way... Relax and enjoy yourself.

Beavers live here and we will se marks and tracks and sometimes the actual beaver.

We stop half way to make outdoor lunch over open fire.

More info

Our kayaks are steady but there is a risk of falling in the water.

We expect to get a little wet, some splashing from the paddle is always happening. Getting in and out of a kayak is a best done by stepping into the water a bit. I use barefoot shoes or go barefoot if its warm and in autumn boots or neoprene socks are nice.

Mosquito repellent is provided by me but if you need something special please use your own.

The only requirement we have on you, is that you can swim.

Included in the experience:

Life jackets.

Safety instruction.

Outdoor lunch.

What to bring

Swim wear, if the weather is warm it might be nice to take a swim, or just to paddle in the swimwear.

Towel and extra clothes.

Sunscreen and sunglasses
