About this activity

Paddle across Lake Pyhäjärvi in Finnish Lapland during the midnight sun season, experiencing 24-hour daylight and pristine boreal wilderness from your canoe. This 2-hour tour suits all skill levels and offers a rare chance to explore by day or night without traditional darkness.

Come and enjoy the beauty of nature on our canoeing tour on Lake Pyhäjärvi. Canoeing is a nice and relaxing activity and is suitable also for beginners. Canoe is suitable 2-3 persons.

Specially in the bad mosquito time middle in the lake you can enjoy nature, sun and enjoy the views without bug stress.

Starting time is flexible for every summer day, because it is also possible to visit in the gorge by night time. You just book the day, there is a question what time you would wish to do the tour and we will be in contact with you or you can send us a email about availability. =)
