Exclusive Flatwater Paddle Adventure

Private tour – Activity description:

Flatwater paddling is one of the best ways to experience the Swedish nature up close. We calmly floating and paddle downstream on the clear water while we are exploring the river with forest covered shorelines and mountains in the background. The area is known for its rich birdlife, and if we are lucky, we may see some of the rare birds or other animals like beaver, rising fish and reindeer.

During the tour, we make a stop to head ashore and prepare lunch over an open fire, using locally inspired ingredients from the surrounding area. If the weather is warm, it might even be the perfect moment to take a refreshing swim.

We provide life jackets for you. See further down what you need to bring.

 Verified A unique experience
We went on the Northern Lights Adventure when visiting Åre. Although we did not get to see the lights, this was an excellent and unique experience. Our guide Gunnar was very knowledgeable, engaging and friendly. The pick up was very efficient and then we drove to the other side of the mountain to an old copper mining area. You are given snow shoes to use and then walk through the area with the guide pointing out areas of interest. You then get to a shelter where he makes a fire, you have hot drinks and Swedish snacks. You definitely feel close to nature and it gave us a completely different perspective of the area. It is important that you go knowing that there is absolutely no guarantee of seeing the lights; we didn’t but it was still a fantastic experience.

 Verified Familjetur med Quad och fika
Vår familj om 5 hade en riktigt härlig förmiddagstur med Quad och släde. Barnen (3,5,10) var väldigt nöjda och våra guider för dagen var väldigt genuina, trevliga och kunniga. Barnen fick hjälpa till att sätta ”läger” och bjöds på varm choklad och bullar vid fikapausen. Vi fick dessutom en extra sväng ut på isen på vägen tillbaka efter att vår 5-åring uttryckt önskemål om det under fikastunden. Snyggt! Sammantaget mycket bra och lagom lång tur för mindre barn. Rekommenderas varmt för familjer och andra sällskap som vill ha ett litet avbrott i skidveckan. Tack Anders & Ida

 Verified Hundspann och skoterkörning
Vi är två familjer med barn i åldrarna 9 till 14 år som åkte på hundspann samt skotertur (olika dagar) arrangerat av Åre Nature Adventures. Vi är såå nöjda! Kanon-guider som var kunniga och trevliga. Bra upplägg med fantastiska naturupplevelser. När vi plötsligt blev fler som ville med på skoterturen ordnade Fredrik det snabbt och lätt. Vi kan varmt rekommendera Åre Nature Adventure och ffa dessa två utflykter.

 Verified The highlight of our Christmas Vacation. A must if you love dogs.
This adventure was the highlight of our trip to Åre, Sweden. Me and my wife went. We received a brief instruction on how to drive the sled and we then followed the lead pack. It was exciting, adventuresome and fun. And the food we cooked was excellent. The dogs were fun and full of energy. The guides were good humored and very professional. A must for anyone who has had dogs and loves dogs. You must participate with the dogs in driving the sled, which makes this a physical experience, where sometimes you must help the dogs a steep slope or get untangled. Awesome fun.

 Verified Gastronomivandring
Vi har gått en gastronomivandring med Alexander. Vandringen var perfekt, en bra runda i varierande omgivningar. Alexander var mycket duktig som guide och kunde berätta om både natur, kultur och Åre som bygd. Smakproverna från traktens matproducenter presenterades på ett intressant sätt och smakade bra!

 Verified A real adventure in magic winterland
It was freezing cold, but truly beautiful and exciting! Thank you, Kaj, for the good driving and dog handling, and thank you, Frieda, for teaching us how to cook this tasty-crispy pork-bread-dish on the open fire! Amazing how the dogs and guides find their way through the wilderness with its lakes and forests in the dark. An exceptional adventure!

 Verified Amazing dogs
Amazing dog sledding with my family. The kids fell in love with the dogs - especially Ella - and my husband loved driving the sled. Alex and Kaj were both lovely and very knowledgable. It was a truly magical experience for all of us , one that will never be forgotten.

 Verified Once in a lifetime
Danke für einen tollen Abend. Die perfekte Organisation startete schon 2 Stunden vorher. Per Sms kam die Abholzeit und Alexander war pünktlich da. Da wir die Einzigsten waren, hatten wir einen recht kurzen Transfer. Die Schlitten standen schon bereit und nach einer kurzen Einweisung stand man selber auf dem Schlitten. Bei Schneefall und Wind ging es durch die schwedische Natur und es war einfach nur toll. Bevor es zum Abendessen ging, war noch Zeit die Hunde kennenzulernen und Fotos zu machen. Alexander heizte in der Zeit das Lagerfeuer an und wirmachten uns an die Zubereitung des Kolbulle. Ein sehr einfach zuzubereitendes aber leckeres Essen. Mittlerweile war es komplett dunkel und nur mit Stirnlampe und Mondlicht ging es in einer großen Tour zurück. Für uns war es ein unvergessliches Erlebnis, was man mindestens einmal im Leben gemacht haben muss. Danke an das ganze Team
