About this experience
Canoeing is the perfect and relaxing way to discover Lapland in summer while respecting its untouched nature. Finland, also known as the Land of a Thousand Lakes, is covered by more than 188 000 lakes. A significant amount of them are located in Lapland. The lakes and rivers are home to many birds and little mammals, such as geese, swans, longspurs, cranes, otters and many others. If you are lucky enough, you may spot them!
This all-day trip will let you discover the secrets the Lapland waters hide. You will get the chance to enjoy the peacefulness of its nature in a very eco-friendly way, appreciate the Arctic fauna and flora from a completely different perspective, and end the day with a great feeling of achievement, a true mini-adventure in Lapland you will long remember!
To make this trip even more special, your qualified canoe guide will take you upstream of a river with the objective that you reach Rovaniemi, the capital town of the Finnish Lapland. Before you set off, the guide will teach you the basic techniques of how to canoe and will provide you with all the safety instructions needed. Your guide is always close and ready to assist you if you need help. Together, you will then start going down the river, paddling for a few hours in the direction of Rovaniemi.
About halfway, you have a nice break with a typical Finnish snack served around a campfire to recover some energy. This is a good moment for your guide to show you how to build and light a fire (without matches or lighter!) using flint & steel. They will also explain to you more about Lapland, life in the Arctic, and nature. Every moment of this tour is a great opportunity for those of you who are photography enthusiasts, so do not forget to bring your camera along (but be careful with water).
The tour lasts 6 hours, including transportation, canoeing and safety instructions, paddling time (around 4 hours depending on your level) and the snack around the fire. Depending on the weather conditions and your fitness level, the route will be adapted for safety reasons.
In all our activities, our groups are limited to 8 people maximum. It is very important for us to provide you with the best experience possible, and avoid mass tourism. This way, your guide will know you better and will be able to address all your needs and answer your questions. As we usually say - the smaller the group, the bigger the experience!
