The Oulu River delta offers stunning and sheltered routes for kayaking. This private safari combines natural beauty and cultural landscapes, as it takes you from Nallikari through the picturesque Mustasalmi channel to the wonderful and diverse scenery of the Oulu River delta.

This is a private safari available for booking at least three days before the service starts. You can see available times directly from our calendar. If you cannot find a suitable time in the calendar, feel free to contact us directly to inquire about our booking situation at info@nallikarisafaris.fi or by calling +358 20 731 0110.

If you are traveling alone or with a small group, you can also join our general kayaking safari from Nallikari to the Oulu River delta intended for individual participants.

Our adventure begins at our Nallikari Experience Center, which is located right in front of the Nallikari seaside, in the basement of the Nallikari Aalto hotel building, at Nallikarinranta 10. The safari is conducted safely under the guidance of our knowledgeable and experienced guides. Before hitting the water, you will be trained in the basics of kayaking, and we will go through all the necessary safety matters so you can enjoy your trip worry-free. The kayaks we use are particularly easy for beginners. They are stable and easy to steer.

The route offers both natural beauty and cultural landscapes, as the safari takes you from Nallikari through the scenic Mustasalmi channel to the beautiful and diverse landscapes of the River Oulu Delta. We will navigate around numerous islands in the delta, and we might also visit Oulu Market Square. Nallikari serves as one of the official landing spots of the River Oulu Delta kayaking route, from which three different water channels lead to the Oulu River Delta. For faster groups, the return route to Nallikari may be different than the way we went to the Oulu River Delta.

What do we do if the wind surprises us in Nallikari?

No worries! We have a backup plan: We will start the kayaking safari just a few minutes' walk away directly from the shore of Mustasalmi, where one of our rental containers is located. This allows us to start kayaking directly from sheltered waters (we will notify you separately if we change the starting location).
