Guided wilderness kayaking from Rovaniemi. Small-group Lapland lake paddle, pickup included, hot drink, and a real shot at Arctic twilight magic.

“We were very disappointed with this tour. Miguel was friendly and picked us up from the hotel. Contrary to the description of the activity, this was not a river tour.

After that, we were left to paddle alone on the lake for 2 hours at sunset. It was not a guided tour, and we didn’t learn anything about the area or Finnish culture.

Rovaniemi midnight sun canoe trip with small groups, 2025 4x4 transfers, and lakeshore BBQ sausages and hot drinks under Arctic skies.

“Amazing nature and perfect weather, but the canoes were not easy to use. Although we have used kayaks and canoes before, we have not used inflatable canoes, so before we managed to find our balance our backs started to hurt. The guide really tried to help us, he even changed the canoes between us so that we got more suitable canoes, but they were badly damaged so it was not possible to sit in one of them properly, and during the break the guide changed the direction of the seats in the other one so we tried to go forward, but the fin was pointing forward, so we often turned…”
