Learn what's edible, what's medicinal, and what locals have relied on for centuries.

Two days canoeing 12km through wilderness, spending a night in an off-grid island cabin.

Get into a raft, follow your guide's brief, and let the river do the rest.

Remote forests, wild rivers, and Sami heritage just an hour northwest of Umeå.

Master fire-making in the wild, then cook your lunch over the flames you've made.

Sustainable tourism at its core: small footprint, big access to nature, real community connections.

You'll spend two days paddling approximately 12km. First you’ll paddle to a secluded island for a night in an off-grid cabin. The next morning you’ll do the return journey to reach your second overnight stay, taking in the surrounding nature and learning how the water systems are the life blood of this region. No prior experience is needed, but you'll be paddling with your overnight gear, so expect your arms to feel it by the end of each day.

This is where the river shows what it can do. Get into sturdy rafting boats and take on the rapids. Our guides will talk you through the basics and safety, then it’s straight out on the water. Expect adrenaline, spray, and plenty of laughter as you navigate the current together. 

Stretch your legs with a nature and foraging walk through the Swedish forest. Your experienced guide will show you what's edible, what's medicinal, and what the locals have been using for centuries. This isn't about racking up kilometres - it's hands-on learning about the flora and fauna that call the forest home. You'll come away knowing how to identify plants, understand ancient traditions, and see nature differently, with practical skills you can actually use.

Making, cooking and sitting around the fire is part of the daily rhythm on this trip. However, first you need to learn how to make one. 

The workshop covers how to create sparks to make the flames whilst out in the wild, how to keep the fire going and, most importantly, how to keep it contained.  Once the fire is roaring, you’ll put everything into practice immediately, preparing lunch over the fire you’ve built.

Afternoon: Our transfer collects you from Umeå, then drives the approximately one hour journey to the trip start point.

Evening: Group dinner and briefing. Time to get to know each other before the adventure really starts.

Morning: Forest trail nature walk through towering pines and spruces. Learn how to forage, as well as what and what definitely not to forage. 

Afternoon: Fire workshop time. Learn to create and tend flames, then cook lunch over the fire. What remains of the afternoon is for packing and prepping for your canoe expedition.

Evening: Dinner at Granö. One last comfortable night before heading out on the water.

Morning: Load the canoes and paddle across the lake. Find your rhythm as the wilderness opens up around you.

Afternoon: Stop for lunch on the shore, then back in the canoes to finish the journey.

Evening: Arrive at the island and your wilderness cabin home for the night. This is off-grid - no electricity, outside toilets and dinner cooked over the fire.  

Morning: Breakfast on the island, then hit the lake again for another morning of paddling.

Afternoon: Lunch, then finish the paddle before a short transfer to the second wilderness cabin. Toilets and showers in a block outside, electricity in the cabin so you can charge your phone.

Evening: Dinner at camp, before easing tired muscles in the sauna and hot tub. 

Morning: Get your intro to rafting, then jump in the boats and take on the rapids for your ultimate post-breakfast adrenaline rush. 

Afternoon: Lunch back at the wilderness camp, then head back to the hotel for a sauna session. 

Evening: Celebratory dinner at the restaurant before one last night’s sleep.

Morning: Tuck in to a final breakfast, grab any last photos, then take the transfer back to Umeå.
