Aavameri does not only take you kayaking. Aavameri helps you understand the sea.
Aavameri Sea KayakingIt depends on the product. Evening tours and many day tours are designed to be accessible to first-timers in suitable conditions. Multi-day self-guided expeditions require solid paddling, camping and judgement skills because you are responsible for your own route on the water.
Aavameri does not force a fixed route through the archipelago. Wind, waves, visibility, temperature, group ability, ferry traffic, landing restrictions and safety margins decide the actual route.
The route, starting point, distance or timing can be changed. In exposed conditions the safest and most beautiful option may be a more sheltered part of the archipelago, a skills session, or a postponed start.
Dress for the water and the weather, not only for the air temperature. Aavameri provides the kayaking equipment listed for each product. Bring suitable outdoor layers, sun protection, water bottle and personal medication.
For multi-day guided and self-guided experiences, transport arrangements from Turku are normally part of the planning. Day tours and courses may use Satava or another suitable launch place depending on the product.
