Finland is also known as the Land of a Thousand Lakes. A significant number of the 188 000 lakes spread on its territory are located in Lapland and adorn the arctic nature with beautiful scenery. The pure and untouched landscapes here are highlighted by the Midnight Sun. To enjoy the peaceful beauty of the Midnight Sun, there is no better way than paddling on some of the many lakes and rivers of Lapland. During this activity, your qualified canoe guide will teach you the basic techniques of 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 come to your aid if you need help. While paddling, the peaceful nature that surrounds you and the warm rays of the sun re-energize you after a long dark winter with snow on the ground for about 5 months. The land, vegetation and animals finally have an opportunity to replenish their energy levels and relax with the abundance of life that the 24-hour sun brings with it. Paddling your canoe across the lake, you will have the chance not just to get deeper into this summer harmony but also to feel completely part of it.
Once back onshore a campfire is prepared and traditional Finnish campfire snacks are served. They will also explain to you more about Lapland, life in the Arctic, and the phenomenon of the Midnight Sun. 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!
