Three-Canal Tour and Astuvansalmi Rock Paintings in Mikkeli region

From 60 €
Duration 3 hours

Lake Saimaa is full of captivating canals. On this three-canal cruise we will navigate through three historical canals and visit the Astuvansalmi rock paintings in the waters of Ristiina and Anttola, near Mikkeli. The Kirkkotaipale and Varkaantaipale canals are navigable by larger vessels, but the picturesque Vuolteen canal is only accessible by boat. Along the way, you'll experience the pristine waters and rugged shorelines of Saimaa at their purest. You'll also visit the breathtaking Astuvansalmi rock formations and discover the ancient rock paintings that have been preserved for thousands of years, depicting people, animals, and hand-prints. Discover faces in the rocks and hear the amazing echoes! We'll dock to explore the paintings on land and those interested can climb the magnificent rocks for panoramic views.


You can also pre-order Rib Saimaa's hearty picnic meal and coffee to enjoy at the campfire.
