Follow on a canoe adventure in one of Lapland’s unknown wilderness areas. A great experience close to nature in one of Sweden’s last forest areas without any roads, Pärlälvens (the Pearl river) Nature Reserve.

Grab a paddle and join us on a canoe adventure in one of Lapland’s unknown wilderness areas.
Pärlälvens (the Pearl river) Nature Reserve is one of Sweden’s last forest areas without any roads. This is an area that not many tourists have found yet, most people travelling here is local people. A wonderful landscape with small mountains rising above the old forest.
All the equipment as tents, food, cookers etc. are transported in our canoes. Every evening we set a camp on the beach near by the lake. When we make shorter hiking tours up in the surroundings we only bring daypacks.
The lake Karats also offers good fishing possibilities, so we can catch both Salmon trout, pike, perch and grayling. This is not an extreme canoe tour nor an extreme fishing tour but a great wilderness experience close to nature.

Day 2-4 - Canoeing and living life in the wilderness

During the following days we will be canoeing between the low mountains, hiking through the old pine forest, exploring creeks and small lakes separated from the big lake Karats and try our luck with our fishing rods. Maybe climbing the mountain Farforita that go steep down 400 m straight into the lake.
Together we prepare all meals over open fire and outdoor stoves. After sharing our daily experiences around the camp fire we fall asleep in our mountain tents.
Important: When we fish we only take what we eat. After that we catch and release. We shall take care of the nature and not take more than we need.
We will have lots of good opportunities for photographing, study flowers/plants, fishing, bird watching and just enjoy the silence.

Tour Reviews

23 August, 2020

THANK YOU FOR A VERY NICE CANOE TOUR!
I could easily have stayed another week and paddled around, hiked and fished.
Also thought it was a bit fun that we got such a strong wind at the start. It should not always be exactly as you expected. You have to adapt and solve problems as they arise. Matti is a very, knowledgeable, friendly and good guide. In addition, an outstanding chef, a long since I ate so much. I would love to come back, either to paddle again but am also interested in a dog sledding trip. /Per Anders
