Easy canoe trip in Utsjoki

3 hours

Moderate

Explore the arctic rivers and lakes with a local guide. We use easy canoes, and choose location for our experience depending on participants preferences and features of the water area.

Landscape in Utsjoki water areas is different from southern Lapland,  as we paddle in rivers and lakes, surrounded by highland area. In  most locations where we move, we have steep slopes rising next to  our canoes, reminding us about the power of nature, shaping the  landscape we see today. Our waters are fresh and clean: so pure, you can see the fish swim  under your canoe. Our climate in summer is an outdoor person´s  paradise. Comfortable warm summer air with a light breeze from the  Barents Sea are perfect for enjoying summer outdoors. We have  large, sandy beaches by many of our paddling destinations, so you  can even enjoy a day on the beach during your paddling excursion,  taking a swim with some wild reindeer hanging around on the  beaches.

Send us email to inquire paddling tours and provide some information about your paddling experience and swimming skills, and we can suggest a suitable paddling activity for your group! We have planned paddling experiences for all kinds of guests, from beginner to an experienced paddler.  Paddling experiences have to be reserved via email at arctic@travelutsjoki.com, as we organize paddling tours only on request. Our canoes are easy to use, and we can paddle in easier and calmer lakes or then choose a flowing river, depending on guests´ preferences. Duration of the tour varies from 2 hours to half-day tours. Prices starting from 95 euros/person.
