Scenic archipelago tour in Vänern
Join us on a guided tour of the Onsö archipelago. One of the finest nature reserves in Lake Vänern. During the tour, we often see large birds of prey, such as ospreys and sea eagles. The nature of Onsö is varied, and here you can find several different nature types. Most important of these are the old coniferous forests that dominate the island.
We paddle in a quiet pace and stop for coffee, rest and swimming.

When the sea eagle passes straight over us, it becomes clear how impressively large it really is.
The sea eagle, Europe’s giant eagle, can reach 2.5 meters between the wingtips, and the body can reach a meter in length. Vänern is ideal for sea eagles. Here there are small islands that form nesting sites and plenty of fish and seafowl to eat in the shallower areas.
The tour primarily goes around Onsö outside Dillö but is adapted to the participants’ paddling habits and prevailing weather conditions. The trip may be moved in “bad” weather based on wind and wave conditions. The meeting place will be announced no later than the day before the tour.
