Canoeing is the perfect and most relaxing way to discover Lapland in summer while respecting its untouched nature. Finland, also known as the Land of a Thousand Lakes, is indeed covered by more than 188 000 lakes. A significant amount of them is located in Lapland and offer, with the fells and forests, beautiful harmonious landscapes. The lakes and rivers are also home of many birds and little mammals, such as geese, swans, longspurs, cranes, otters... If you are lucky enough, you may easily spot many of them!

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!

What To Expect

During this activity, your qualified canoe guide will take you away from Rovaniemi, on a peaceful lake or a river. They will teach you the basic techniques on how to canoe and will provide you with all the safety instructions needed. You will be explained how to use the paddles, how to move on water and steer your canoe, how to react if capsizing, etc. Your guide will always keep an eye on you, and will come to your aid if you are in need of help. While paddling, you will feel the peacefulness of the nature surrounding you and enjoy a complete different perspective of Lapland! Once back ashore, you will be welcomed by an open fire and some typical Finnish campfire snack. This is a good moment for your guide to show you how to build and lit a fire (without matches or lighter) using a flint & steel. They will also explain 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 3 hours, including transportation, canoeing and safety instructions, paddling time and the snack around the fire.
