Summer Canoe Trip in Finnish Lapland from Rovaniemi

Finnish Lapland is a magnificent summer destination with breathtaking Arctic landscapes, lush green nature, and endless daylight. This summer canoe excursion in Finnish Lapland departs from Rovaniemi, the capital city of the region.

Your adventure begins at the meeting point in Rovaniemi (pick-up from your accommodation is also available, please specify when booking). For this trip, you can choose a half-day or full-day option. While both options are beginner-friendly, the half-day tour is better suited for families with small children and less sporty individuals, whereas the 7-hour tour offers a moderately challenging experience. Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by your certified instructor and transferred to the canoe departure point in the wilderness outside the city.

Once you reach the chosen beautiful river or lake, you'll receive the equipment (canoe, paddle, life jacket, and sealed dry bag for your valuables). Then, the guide will take you through a safety briefing and paddling instructions. Each canoe can hold up to two adults and one child, which you will steer yourself. The instructor will adapt the route and difficulty to the small group's abilities. Once everyone is prepared, the canoeing in Finnish Lapland begins!

As you paddle along the glassy waters, you'll be treated to mesmerising views of the Arctic landscapes, including dense forests, remote islands, and rugged mountains. The waters in this area are generally very gentle, providing a peaceful escape in the wilderness. As you paddle, the guide will teach you more about canoeing safety and share facts about Lapland. Midway through, you'll stop for a break and learn how to build an open fire. Barbequed snacks and hot drinks will be served as you take in the tranquil environment. Afterwards, you'll paddle back to the start and the guide will transfer you to your original meeting point in Rovaniemi.

This enjoyable canoe trip from Rovaniemi is the perfect way to immerse yourself in the vibrant summer wilderness of Finnish Lapland!
