Guided kayaking in Rovaniemi, Lapland. Small group, hotel pickup, Arctic lake paddling, hot drink, and possible aurora at dusk.

“We were very disappointed with this tour. Miguel was friendly and picked us up from the hotel. Contrary to the description of the activity, this was not a river tour. We were driven to a lake about 30-40 minutes outside of Rovaniemi, where we were given a single kayak. These were not canoes either. After that, we were left to paddle alone on the lake for 2 hours at sunset. It was not a guided tour, and we didn’t learn anything about the area or Finnish culture.

We still have not received our refund. Been waiting for 10 days. Have reached out to Wonderland Tours and was not able to speak to anyone.”

6.Canoeing Trip with Reindeer and Husky Farm Tour

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 7 reviews · 6h 30m · from $352

Rovaniemi Lapland day trip with reindeer and husky farm visits, optional husky carriage ride, and a guided canoe paddle to a lakeside.

“Pra Quem estiver hospedado na vila do papai Noel, essa atividade visita as Renas e Husquies da própria estrutura do hotel. Então na minha opinião não tem o menor sentido contratar um guia para entrar com você nessas atividades. A canoagem sim foi legal, num lago a 15 minutos de carro partindo da vila do papai Noel, numa propriedade bem bonita com um lanche, suco e marchimelo.”
