In Oulu, we are fortunate because our sea-area and the Oulu River Delta offer stunning and sheltered routes for kayaking. This safari offers you the chance to experience Oulu from a completely different perspective.
Season: May 15 - September 30
This is a private experience exclusively for your group – no other participants will join. The experience is available for groups of at least 4 people. You can book it directly through our website at least 14 days in advance. If you wish to make a reservation with shorter notice, please contact us at info@nallikarisafaris.fi to inquire about availability. If you're traveling alone or with a smaller group, you can join our weekly program by booking the Oulu Delta Kayaking Safari (public) experience.
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).
