Could there be a more enjoyable way to enjoy Nordic nature? Paddle along Sweden's northernmost river on this canoe tour near Kiruna!

Kiruna is a town in northern Sweden, located in Swedish Lapland and famous for its unique Arctic setting. The town is surrounded by pristine wilderness, including forests, mountains, and numerous lakes. On this canoe tour from Kiruna, you'll paddle along the Torne River, one of the major rivers in northern Scandinavia, flowing through both Finland and Sweden.

The canoe trip on the Torne River begins at the meeting point in Kiruna, where you'll be greeted by your experienced guide. Upon arrival, the guide will drive you to the starting point at the Torne River. No previous paddling experience is required for this trip. The guide will go through a safety briefing and instructions for using the equipment. Then, you'll get set up on the sturdy canoe, shared between two participants, and set off on your exciting adventure along the Torne River!

The river originates in Lake Torneträsk, located in northern Sweden, and flows southward, eventually emptying into the Gulf of Bothnia at the towns of Tornio and Haparanda. For much of its length, the Torne River serves as a natural border between Finland and Sweden. As you paddle along the river's crystal-clear waters, you'll be treated to delightful views of fells, forests and wetlands. Midway through, you'll stop for a break on the scenic shore and make a hot coffee and lunch. Afterwards, you'll return to the starting point in Kiruna.
