Guided SUP tour team wellbeing
Guided SUP tour for team wellbeing days
Looking for a calm but balance-challenging activity for your team? On a stand-up paddleboarding tour you'll see familiar lake scenery from a whole new angle, and everyone can go at their own pace.
At the start, the guide goes through the basics and safety instructions. If you've never paddleboarded before, you can start by paddling on your knees until you find your rhythm and confidence. SUP is quick to learn – you'll notice the progress within a single tour. The guide supports the group throughout, so the tour suits first-timers and more experienced paddlers alike.
We have enough boards for a group of up to 40, so the whole team can be on the water at the same time. The tour takes about 1.5 hours, of which about an hour is spent paddling.
Where do we paddle?
We organise SUP tours at many locations on Lake Saimaa, in Kouvola and in Repovesi National Park. Here are a few popular starting points:
- Lappeenranta: the harbour or Myllysaari
- Kouvola: Käyrälampi pond next to Tykkimäki Resort
- Savitaipale: Olkkola beach or Lepänkanto
- Repovesi National Park: Lapinsalmi
These are just examples – the tour can start from many other places too, even from your own cottage shore. Tell us what you have in mind, and we'll find a suitable spot together.
