Canoeing is one of the best ways to explore the wilderness of Soomaa. Canoeing season usually lasts from April until October or until the rivers are covered with ice. Paddling is relaxing, fun, and easy to get the hang of.  We have 2- and 3-seat plastic canoes of canadian style. Before you set off, our staff show you how to handle your boat. 

One can choose between guided tours or do it on your own. Take a shorter or longer trip, during a day or night-time.

Even we planned it in the evening before there was no problem to get reservation for the next day. And it was totally worth it! We have never done this activity before ( only on snow) and it was such a fun. Surpassingly it wasn’t so tiring as you don’t use bog walks all the time.

He and his family have been leading guests through the bogs and forests of southwestern Estonia for literally as long as the country has existed. His knowledge of the flora and fauna is expert level, and he communicates all of that information in a fun and friendly manner. Don't miss the chance to go paddling in one of his customary Estonian dugout canoes that he builds by hand. And the bog-swimming is an experience you won't ever forget! Thanks so mcuh, Aivar!

  • mathiasl90 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Late night canoe trip and beaver safari Me and a group of my nature photography students went for a late night canoe tour with Aivar in May. This was the second time we did this and both time we've been able to see and take pictures of beavers. One beaver appeared right next to my canoe and we had a brief moment of eye contact - amazing! Aivar is skilled, funny and can communicate in at least Estonian, Swedish, English and Finnish. I recommend taking this late night tour because the beavers are more active and the experience is nice cruising slowly down the stream. Towards the end the sun went down and you can see bats flying above you. Attached photos are by Linda Öhman. Read more Written 17 August 2023

Nevertheless a good tour with a knowledgeable guide and we heard lots of birds and watched the sunset. We had a last minute change of meeting place, beware of bad internet/phone reception in the national park so it was only luck that led us to find the new meeting spot. Also the website said an evening meal was included which was not the case, so we went to bed hungry. The organiser said that this was a mistake and only day tours have a meal included. Why it was called an evening meal, I do not know, so would advise checking as there are no shops nearby either meeting point. Read more Written 12 April 2023

Mike MacEacheran and his guide Craig Reid get splashed in their canoe

‘It’s not the Zambezi, but the Tweed has its moments’: canoeing in the Scottish Borders

A 30-mile route has opened up along this spectacular river that’s great for beginners but has challenges for more experienced paddlers too

I t was a morning of brooding green banks and dark skies on the River Tweed. Heavy rains had hit southern Scotland and the waterway had turned into a fast flood, with the deluge sweeping our two-seater canoe downstream through farmland and fishing beats as fast as a salmon escaping a rod and reel.

The river, usually easy to navigate and at times only a few feet deep, had swollen fat, the rush of water pushing out in oily swirls that ambushed us. Our pace was frenzied, the spray cold and fresh. But my mood was upbeat because this was why I had come: to see the Anglo-Scottish borderlands from a new perspective. Times are changing on the Tweed. A world-class salmon fishing river in a valley with a recent history of hosting blockbuster events, including last summer’s UCI mountain bike world championships, the waterway is now looking to canoeing for its latest lure. The Tweed Valley Canoe Trail officially launches today (1 May) and, open to the thrill of a gentle paddle as much as whitewater, I had come to the Borders for a two-day preview of the 30-mile route on its upper reaches.

Mike MacEacheran and Craig Reid paddle by the Tweed Bridge at Peebles

“You’re seeing the genesis of the trail, without its makeup on,” my guide, Craig Reid of Biggar Adventure , told me, at the starting point just outside Stobo, back in September. “It’s not the Zambezi, but the Tweed has its moments, meeting somewhere at the intersection of soft adventure and meditation. It’s peaceful, yet rewarding.” Anything I shouldn’t do? “Travel sideways in the fast flow,” he replied. I must have looked a trifle nervous.

The Upper Tweed valley may be the UK’s hottest UK river destination this summer, but it helps that the new canoe trail is manageable for first-time, have-a-go paddlers, as well as those who fancy more of a challenge, on its Grade 2 rapids. The trail has been divided into six bite-size sections between Stobo and Tweedbank, ranging from two to eight miles.

Light-touch infrastructure is now appearing along the riverside. That includes storage racks and anchor points for tying up safely, signposts and info panels. The project’s developer, Go Tweed Valley , is also working on increasing the number of paddler-friendly accommodation options to add to the already-present campsites. Free waterproof trail maps are available from outdoor shops in Peebles and Innerleithen, or there’s a digital version on Go Tweed Valley’s site. There are places to rent equipment in the Tweed valley and further afield in Edinburgh (such as Kayak and SUP Hire and Sales or Driftwood Adventure ).

The front of Traquair House

Our vessel was a 35kg Canadian canoe with a flat bottom (making it less manoeuvrable but more stable), large enough to carry two with overnight dry bags. Dippers and kingfishers whirred in flight and a great blue heron looked on as we took our first few strokes. May and June are when you see flotillas of fluff-ball ducklings, Craig said. September, at the paddling season’s end, is for salmon leaping right over your canoe. In the months between, otters make camp on the verges. For all the innovation of the trail, the Tweed valley retains a remarkably old-fashioned set of Scottish ideals at its heart. The catch-and-release fly fishing is as good as anywhere, and there are sporting estates, historic textile mills and grand baronial halls that tell of the Borders’ historic role in the days of Mary, Queen of Scots and James VI.

Yair Bridge over the River Tweed

Before Peebles, the great bulk of Neidpath Castle appeared, looking particularly impressive from the water. By the time we reached Toll Wood at Innerleithen, a two-hour paddle away, we had shot through the middle of a salmon ladder, and passed gillie huts and a few JR Hartley types in green twill unspooling fishing lines from the bank. It was like a Constable landscape brought to life. The painter’s contemporary, Walter Scott, also revered the British countryside. The writer’s story is inseparable from the Borders and Traquair House , a rambling old hunting lodge where we were staying the night. Scott regularly visited Traquair, largely because of his friendship with then owner Lady Louisa Stuart. Dating from 1107, it conveniently sits on a curve of the Tweed next to a new pull-out point and a wild campsite.

We followed a path to the house, for a hot bath and ale from the brewery housed in wing directly beneath the 1829 chapel. That only gives a hint of Traquair’s history. The main house, riotous with crooked stairs and a secret escape route used by Catholics during the Reformation, overlooks the B&B, whose rooms are crowded with canopied beds and antique furnishings. Rising behind that is a garden with a statue of cupid stringing his bow.

A fisherman in the River Tweed near Innerleithen

Guidebook author Rich Rowe and freelance writer Lindsay Quayle, two outdoorsy types based in Peebles who are the brains behind the trail, joined us for a pie and a pint at the nearby Traquair Arms hotel . The Tweed remains undiscovered, they said, but also has to be treated differently from other rivers.

“A river like the Tay has long been open to rafting and adventure water-sports operators,” said Rich, over a Tempest Brewing Co pale ale from nearby Tweedbank. “That history isn’t present here,” added Lindsay. “So there needs to be sensitivity to the traditional users, particularly the fly fishers hooking salmon and trout. Us canoeists are the new kids.”

On our second morning, the river seemed pacified, its eddies less violent, and Craig was relaxed enough to allow me to take breaks to absorb the highlights. As per his instructions, I balanced my paddle on my lap to view the banks and take notes on my phone as we crossed ancient fords and muddled under bridges through Walkerburn and Glenkinnon. We were soon passing the ruined Elibank Castle, then pulling up short of Yair Bridge, a triple-arched stone crossing and the precursor to the Fairnilee rapids, the wildest stretch on the trail.

Before us were moshing waves, some a metre or so high, others waltzing to a haphazardly conducted symphony of rolls and splashes. Craig, at the back, regained steerage position, his wooden paddle giving more purchase on the curling water than my blade, then we rolled through and under the bridge, not gently, but head-on. It turns out there is a very fine line between calm and collected and soaking wet pants, and, after a wave tipped over the gunwales, we both burst out laughing.

Our adventure slowly came to an end, first curving south, then back north on a last stretch that lead to the grand finale: Abbotsford , Walter Scott’s time-warp gothic estate. Seen from the water, the country pile takes on a different personality – more secretive, more stately – and it looms over the river like a monumental finishing line. Imagine Balmoral on the Thames. The day glittered and the sun lit the river’s way east to Kelso, where it pushes on beneath the Cheviot Hills to the estuary at Berwick-upon-Tweed and into the North Sea.

In the sunshine, my drying trousers were a witness to the great trip we’d had. Two hundred years ago, Scott might have been surprised to see two canoeists hauling out a vessel just steps from where he captured the beauty of the Tweed from his study window. He knew it was a bonny part of the country, but today the river is about to be discovered by a whole new audience. As with each paddle forward, there are always two longing looks back.

Soomaa.com Night Canoe Trip in Soomaa

The best way to make the most of the white summer nights is to go hiking! Night canoe trip is an exotic way of spending warm summer nights. Things look different in the dark, and sometimes we can't see everything, but only hear it - or imagine it! Night trips are led by experienced local tour guides and the trip takes place on a calm Raudna River (3 hours). The trip takes us to beaver habitat and if we are lucky we might get a chance to observe beavers in their natural environment. The language of the trip is English! NB! Transfers from Pärnu are also available for an extra fee.
