Ladoga Skerries: Reset
Four days of digital detox and active nature on Ladoga skerries: SUP, kayaks, islands, fishing, glamping under white nights — group of 2–8
Why this tour
Four unhurried days on Ladoga skerries — kayaking, island walks, boat trips — no palace queues, no city noise.
Storm-day Plan B built in: if Ladoga is rough, we shift to forest trails and lakeside banya with halal lunch.
Compact format perfect for a second trip or add-on after Petersburg — minimal packing, maximum nature.
