The National Park has hundreds of islands and the route can be modified to meet your skill level. It is good to know how to read the map so you can navigate in the national park. The staff in the canoe center is happy to help you with the right route. In autumn the weather can be cold and we recommend this holiday only if you have previous paddling experience.
