Perfect first time canoeing experience
We spent a lovely day canoeing and walking in the park. It was our first time canoeing and had perfect conditions for it: a calm river, beautiful views, a hiking break…

Evening beaver safari canoo
The river is very beautiful in the evening! Our guide was friendly and told us some things about the beavers in the area. When passing through the forest we (of course) were silent. It was exiting looking for traces of beavers..... we saw one eventually (from a distance). The whole trip lasted about three hours. We hoped to see more beavers (and maybe more up close) but understand that wild animals can be elusive....which is also the charm. The price is a little high, but we are glad we made the trip!

The park through the river is beautiful, very calm and absolutely safe even to do alone !
Very recommended, one of the highlights of my trip to Estonia.
