Self-guided Canoe Tours in Sweden
Overview
There are three wilderness routes and two rural routes available, with durations from 4 to 14 days. The tours run in the heavily forested region of Värmland in western Sweden. Wild camping is a feature of all the tours. You will plan the distance you wish to cover each day and choose your own camping spot each night. There are limited places to shop on most of the routes and we recommend that you bring all your food with you from the beginning. You will be given a detailed description of the route and, depending on the tour chosen, a map is either included or should be purchased separately. Distances for 7 and 14-day wilderness routes can be increased if required with a number of optional extensions.
Additional information
All our canoe tours are completely self-guided using two-person Canadian canoes. The basic package includes all canoe equipment (canoe, paddles and life vests plus trolley for routes requiring land portages), Trangia-style camping stove with fuel, cooking utensils, plates and cutlery, plus transfer to/from the meeting point and the start/end points of the route if required. Tents and sleeping bag package (sleeping bag, sheet and sleeping mat) can be hired as optional extras. Minimum 2 adults required for all tours.
