Discover the cultural and natural beauty of Rovaniemi from a unique perspective—by canoe! Before setting off, your qualified canoe guide will teach you the essential paddling techniques and provide detailed safety instructions. The journey begins on calm, protected waters, giving you time to get comfortable with your canoe and learn how to navigate. Your guide will always be close by to assist and ensure a safe, enjoyable experience throughout the tour.

As you paddle through the scenic waterways of Rovaniemi, your guide will point out major landmarks and share stories about the region's Arctic heritage. You’ll pass sights such as the Arktikum Museum, the Kemijoki and Ounasjoki rivers, Ounasvaara hill, the historic Lumberjack Bridge, Rovaniemi beach, and the city church. A special stop at Kotisaari Island offers a glimpse into its past as a lumberjack outpost. From there, the tour continues to the Local Heritage Museum of Rovaniemi, nestled on the riverbank.

At the museum, step back in time to learn about traditional life in Lapland through authentic exhibits on salmon fishing, hunting, farming, and forestry. You'll see historical artifacts, including an early Finnish-language Bible, and a fascinating photo collection of old Rovaniemi. With about 90 minutes of paddling, cultural insights, and numerous photo opportunities, this 3.5-hour experience is perfect for nature lovers and history enthusiasts. Group sizes are kept small (max. 8) to ensure a personal and high-quality adventure.
