Charter cruise to Kelvenne
Nice weather and great day trip to Päijänne National Park. We cruised to north end of the Kelvenne island and hiked to south end where Elbatar was waiting. Everything went well. Captain told stories of Kelvenne island and lake Päijänne on the way to the island. Theres coffee, beverages and baked goods available in the boat for . You can also order catering in advance if you like. In 2018 Elbatar cruises to Kelvenne and Vääksy on tuesdays in June. You can also book a charter cruise.

A small boat and extremely beautiful lake views
M/S Elbatar cruises both scheduled cruises and charter cruises on Lake Päijänne. There are scheduled cruises to Kelvenne (Päijänne National Park), Vääksy and Kuhmoinen. Charter cruises aren't too expensive either (250 euros for the first hour and 160 euros for next hours in 2016). There is a salon for 50 people and also deck seats for 50 people on the boat. The tiny restaurant of this small boat serves ice-cream, pizza slices, pasties, sandwiches, drinks (also alcohol) etc. We had a very nice cruise to Kelvenne. On that island we had a break for hiking and swimming on a sandy beach. Views were absolutely beautiful. We had an immemorial summer day!

Local transport to Päijänne National Park
The M/S Elbatar runs a regular boat service from Padasjoki to Vääksy, stopping at two points on Kelvenne island (see photo). This year, it ran in July. The return ticket cost us €20 per adult. We recommend arriving at Padasjoki early to get a seat on the outside of the boat (limited), however, the snack bar and tables inside are comfy, and the coffee is cheap and tasty. The boat ran a bit behind schedule, but the ride was smooth, scenic, and clean!
