We offer tours for nature and photography enthusiasts who want spectacular nature and the opportunity to immortalize the experience with their own photo equipment.

It is of course possible to take photos on our regular tours, but if you want more time for selected motifs and experimentation with different angles and lighting conditions, we can arrange dedicated photo tours.

We can guide you on the nature along the boat route and explain how the landscape was formed, using simple geology and landmarks.
