Full description
THE BEST WAY TO EXPERIENCE THE MIDNIGHT SUN !
Enjoy the delightful colors of the Midnight Sun and the White Nights in the best possible way! Canoeing is undoubtedly the best outdoor activity to experience the beautiful reflections of the never-ending sunset colours in the peaceful waters while enjoying some gentle exercise surrounded by beautiful Arctic nature. The Rovaniemi area is full of stress-free rivers that are easy to navigate, with picturesque nature and landscapes to observe. The open view offered by the river is also perfect to enjoy the the warm shades of the sun’s rays, and their reflections in the waters, making this canoe experience the best way to enjoy the Midnight Sun or sunsets in Rovaniemi!

During the tour, you will enjoy paddling your own canoe on a quiet rivers, moving slowly between islands or stopping by to some hidden sand beaches. In summertime, you will be surprised by the temperature of the water as it is always warmed all day (and all “night”) long by the sun ; if you would like to, you may even take some time to have a memorable swim in the river!

This unique canoe adventure is adapted to all levels, and organized in small groups for more comfort. It is led by a certified canoeing guide who will provide you with paddling instructions and other safety aspects. They will always be there to assist you if you need, and offer you as much of their stories and passion as they can! During the paddling time, a small snack with hot drinks will be served.

This unique canoe adventure is adapted to all levels, and organized in very small groups for more comfort. It is led by a certified canoeing guide who will provide you with paddling instructions and other safety aspects. They will always be there to assist you if you need, and offer you as much of their stories and passion as they can!

After the paddling time, you will stop and eat a small snack with hot drinks.
This canoe trip is around 3 hours, if you want to experience a full-day on the river we recommend our longer adventures.

The tour is organized on mornings, afternoons or evenings. The evening tour starts at a flexible time and allows you to enjoy never-ending sunsets in summer or Northern lights in autumn (if you are brave enough to paddle on cold waters)!

The tour is organized between end of May until mid-September in the evenings and starts at a flexible time, adapted to the sunset hours. The Midnight Sun period in Rovaniemi lasts from end of May until early July. In July and August, the sun sets for a few hours only, offering equally impressive warm colors and the so-called “white nights“. In September and early October, it is possible to request a Northern lights departure in autumn (if you are brave enough to paddle on cold waters) – please send us a request if you wish so.
