During this all-day guided trip on your own canoe, you will explore the never-ending landscapes of Lapland and their peaceful waters. Your certified guide will teach you how to steer your canoe, safety aspects and will lead you on the water. They will always be there to assist you if you need, and offer you as much of their stories and passion as they can!
The guide will take you to a starting point, away from Rovaniemi. After the first explanations and safety instructions, you will find yourself paddling down a beautiful river. Take your time to enjoy your surroundings and have a few breaks whenever you want to take pictures. Canoeing is indeed the perfect way to experience Lapland peacefulness : it allows you to connect with the beautiful arctic nature from a different perspective while enjoying some moderate exercise.
Halfway you will make a lunch break in a nice spot where your guide can prepare a delicious snack around the fire to regain strength before continueing your journey. This will be a great opportunity to learn how to build a fire in arctic conditions and ask all your questions about like in the Far North.
This unique canoe adventure is organized in very small groups for more comfort. The trip is easily adapted to the level of the group, but still requires a minimum of physical condition from the participants. The tour lasts around 7 hours including transportation, instructions and paddling time (around 12-15 km depending on the group level).
