DESCRIPTION

A GREAT SUMMER EXPERIENCE!

Discover Lapland from a new perspective this summer! Canoeing is one of the best ways to enjoy the region’s peaceful rivers and lakes, surrounded by stunning colors and abundant wildlife.

This gentle canoe trip is specially designed for very beginners and for anyone who may not be confident in water or swimming. You’ll paddle a canoe on a calm portion of river near Rovaniemi, in a safe and relaxed environment. It’s a wonderful way to connect with the Arctic nature while enjoying light exercise at your own pace. Paddling distance is also more limited (2-3km) with longer breaks if needed.

The tour is led by a certified canoeing guide, who will provide simple paddling instructions, ensure your safety, and assist whenever needed. You’ll also hear stories and insights about the local nature and wildlife.

Halfway through, you’ll take a break to enjoy a small snack and hot drinks. The trip lasts around 3 hours.

If you’re confident on the water or have previous experience with water sports, we recommend our canoe trip, available in the morning, afternoon, or evening. Evening tours let you enjoy Lapland’s endless summer sunsets or, in autumn, even the Northern Lights—perfect for those ready to paddle on cooler waters!
If you want to experience a full-day on the river we recommand our bigger adventure.
