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.
