Kayak Experience – Paddle into Arctic Silence

Looking for a 100% private experience? Contact us (price on request).

Leave the crowds behind and dive into the wild beauty of Lapland on this peaceful kayaking experience. Located 60 km from Rovaniemi, far from tourist routes, this small-group tour (max. 6 people) takes you through a quiet river and across a lake where nature rules and silence surrounds you.

Your guide will introduce you to the basics of kayaking — how to paddle, steer, stay balanced, and what to do in case of a capsize. No stress: it’s all about taking your time, feeling safe, and enjoying the moment.

You'll spend between 1 hour and 1h30 on the water, gliding gently through Lapland’s untouched landscapes. Along the way, keep an eye out for wildlife: ducks, swans, and other birds often appear near the calm shores — a beautiful bonus to an already peaceful experience.

Halfway through, you’ll stop at a private laavu (traditional Finnish shelter) by the lake, where you’ll enjoy a relaxing break with warm drinks and snacks, seated around a fire. It’s a perfect moment to breathe, disconnect, and feel like you're completely alone in the world.

The total time on site is about 2 hours, and the tour is suitable for anyone 6 years and older who can swim. Whether you're a first-time paddler or just looking for a slow adventure in nature, this is an intimate and unforgettable way to connect with Lapland's soul.
