Canoe trips and canoe rental

Enjoy the calm of a canoe trip on the Vasalemma or Keila river. Book a guided trip for a group or rent canoes yourself.

Canoe trips take place near Jõeääre Holiday Centre in Harju County — suitable for families, groups of friends, and as an extra activity for company events.

You can stay overnight in sauna cottages on the same property; canoe trips can be combined with Main House or cottage bookings.

Depending on water levels, your experience, and preferred trip length, we offer several options. We prefer the Vasalemma river (we are located on its banks), but when summer heat lowers the water level, trips on the Keila river are also available.
