The largest city in northern Finland, Oulu, is widely known for its cultural appeal and innovative technology cluster. But that is not all! With its blend of urbanism and nature, the city has no shortage of outdoor activities to delight lovers of outdoor adventure, like this guided sea kayaking excursion in the Oulu River Delta. This experience starts from the beach at Nallikari, a seaside resort nicknamed the "Northern Riviera" in summer, and is accessible from the age of 12. Whether you are on your own, with a partner, family or friends, the easy level of the outing means that as many people as possible can enjoy it, aboard single or double kayaks that are easy to steer!
For 2 and a half hours, you will cruise peacefully through superb scenery, between the lush greenery of the Mustasalmi Channel and the urban sprawl of Oulu. The delta of the river Oulu, a vast mouth area made up of several islands, flows into the Bothnian Bay, part of the Baltic Sea. You will start your sea kayaking excursion in Oulu from Nallikari Beach, provided the winds are favourable, allowing you to enjoy the coastal scenery of the region before entering the Mustasalmi Channel. At your side, your guide will be there not only to show you the way and ensure your safety, but also to share interesting information about the Oulu Delta, its history, fauna, flora and so on. Your guide will also adapt the itinerary of your excursion to suit the level and pace of your group, ensuring you have the best possible experience!
Whether you have kayaked before or not, no previous experience is required to take part in this guided sea kayaking excursion in Oulu. So if you are a nature lover who wishes to enjoy a breath of fresh air just a 10-minute drive from the city centre, be sure to head to Nallikari to take part in this great adventure in the Oulu River Delta!
