Enjoy Rovaniemi summer on Arctic waters

River cruises

How about cruising along the small rivers of Rovaniemi in a silent electric engine rubber boat looking for unique opportunities for wildlife watching in places that can’t be accessed by car.

Get aboard on the traditional, wooden riverboat, and feel a sense of local history, along the river the logs once floated down on their journey from the woods to the mills. Boat will take you to the most iconic places to enjoy the best possible views!

Magic by the water

Spend summer night at the river with a traditional campfire dinner. The summer bright nights of Lapland on Arctic waters are an amazing experience on its own but ending up on the most Instagrammable island in Finland is something else.

Barbeque in Savurafla Kotisaari -Island Restaurant like in the good old days. Where the old historical boathouse in Kotisaari Island has been renovated to a restaurant, with a high respect for BBQ traditions, and adding a Lappish twist, the Island Restaurant opens for seatings on 1st of July 2022. 

How about Goblins and mermaids under the Midnight Sun, on a husky hike with a little boat trip included. Have a soup lunch in a Lappish kota listening to magical stories.

Canoeing

While canoeing under the Midnight Sun, you will feel the peacefulness of the nature surrounding you with the warm rays of the sun shining in the middle of the night. Steering your canoe across the lake, you will feel completely part of nature. Back ashore, you will be welcomed by an open fire and some typical Finnish snack.
