What's included in All Day Canoe Adventure to Rovaniemi
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Challenge yourself and embark for an all-day canoe adventure to Rovaniemi! This canoeing safari will make you feel the harmony of Lapland nature from a complete different perspective! Your qualified canoe guide will take you upstream of a river with the objective that you reach Rovaniemi, the capital town of the Finnish Lapland. Before embarking for your adventure, they will teach you the basic techniques on how to canoe and will provide you with all the safety instructions needed. You will be explained how to use the paddles, how to move on water and steer your canoe, how to react if capsizing, etc. Your guide will always be with you, and will assist you if you are in need of help. Together, you will then start go down a river, paddling for a few hours in direction of Rovaniemi. Somewhere halfway, you will enjoy a nice break with a typical Finnish campfire snack served around the open fire to recover some energy. This is a good moment for your guide to show you how to build and lit a fire (without matches or lighter) using a flint & steel. They will also explain you more about Lapland, life in the Arctic, and nature.
