Activity description

Enjoy a SUP tour and paddle your way down the river under the beautiful midnight sun in Rovaniemi. 

Rovaniemi is the capital city of Lapland, located in northern Finland. It is situated close to the Arctic Circle and features picturesque landscapes and stunning scenery. In the summer, Rovaniemi experiences the phenomenon of the Midnight Sun, where the sun doesn't set for an extended period. This creates a surreal and magical atmosphere, allowing visitors to enjoy outdoor activities and explore the surroundings late into the evening.

You will start by meeting your experienced guide at the starting point in Rovaniemi (pickup is available within a 15km driving distance). After receiving your equipment, your guide will take you to the lakeside in a beautiful location. They will go through the basics of stand-up paddleboarding and teach you how to maintain your balance.

Once you get the technique down, you will paddle over to a small island in the middle of the lake and take a break to enjoy the view. While relaxing, you will have a full view of the unique Arctic landscape. Since the sun does not set in the summertime Arctic, you won’t miss this spectacular sunset view. The whole sky will turn various shades of pink and red in a mesmerising once-in-a-lifetime sight. After the surfing tour, you will head to the top of a hill in the forest for another view of the sun illuminating through the area. Don't forget your camera to capture this magical moment! After admiring the view, you will return to Rovaniemi.

Discover the beautiful Midnight Sun and picturesque sunset of Finnish Lapland on this enjoyable SUP tour in Rovaniemi.
