Book a canoe or the night walk

Canoes go out by the half day from the boathouse. The night walk leaves the fire circle at ten on Fridays: owls, bats and, with luck, the northern lights. Ninety minutes, for up to twelve people.

Booking isn't connected on this site yet. Set PUBLIC_CALCOM_LINK to your Cal.com event (for example yourname/canoe) and the calendar shows up here.
