Review of Rovaniemi’s guided wilderness kayaking tour, with calm Lapland waters, small groups, pickup, pricing, and honest drawbacks.
“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. Additionally, there was no hot drink provided. After paddling around on our own, we were driven straight back home. For us, it was…”

“Saaya was an extremely skilled and knowledgeable kayaker and really brought our mixed group of kayakers together! She made me feel safe and I enjoyed her sharing facts about kayaking, the area, culture, landmarks and the sea with all of us. I loved the experience!

“This trip was cancelled literally last minute. We were waiting at the curb for pick up. 15 minutes after our scheduled pick up time I called Wonderland and was told the van broke down.

Meet reindeer and huskies, canoe through Lapland scenery, and enjoy a reindeer sandwich on this small-group Rovaniemi day trip.
“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.”
Paddle Lapland’s quiet waters for six hours with an expert guide, campfire snacks, Arctic scenery, and a rewarding taste of Finnish wilderness.
“Völlig verdient gibt es hier 5 Sterne, wie gebucht waren wir 6 Stunden mit dem Kanu unterwegs. Die Tour führte uns entlang eines wunderschönen Sees, bis hin zu einem Zufluss.

Unser Guide war freundlich und erklärte uns vieles über die finnische Natur. Wir würden es jederzeit wieder buchen.”
