Canoeing on the Aura River

Experience the Aura River Valley from a whole new perspective! Canoeing offers the joy of exercise, the chance to enjoy beautiful landscapes, and a moment to relax in nature. At the Aura River Guidance Center Myllärintalo, located by the Halistenkoski Rapids, you can rent a canoe at an affordable price and explore the cultural landscape of the Aura River from the water.

You can find us at Valkkimyllynkuja 2, Turku, near the Halistenkoski Rapids.
Canoe docks are installed above and below the Halistenkoski Rapids in Turku, as well as next to the pedestrian bridge in Kurala, in April and removed in October. These docks are available for all paddlers. You can also land at the Vanhalinna canoe dock in Lieto, with a paddling journey of approximately 1.5 hours from Myllärintalo.
