September on Lake Inari is something special. The autumn colours light up the shores, the evening air is crisp, and the landscape glows in the warm light of setting sun and Lappish autumn. From the water, you can take in the quiet stillness of nature as day gives way to night — there's no better place to experience it. This trip is ideal for anyone who wants to slow down for a moment and experience the calm of nature in the evening light.
We paddle on stable touring kayaks at an easy pace. Before setting out, we'll go through the equipment and cover the basics of paddling and water safety. As the air and water are already cool in September, we use dry suits during the trip. No previous kayaking experience is required, but a good basic level of fitness will help you enjoy your time on the water. Please note that participants must be able to swim and be at least 15 years old. Participants under 18 may join the kayaking trip only when accompanied by a guardian or with written permission from their guardian.
What to bring: You will need a layer of clothing to wear under the dry suit, such as base and/or mid-layers or other comfortable clothing, as well as socks. In the event of immersion, the dry suit may let some water in, so we recommend bringing a dry change of clothes for after the trip.
The price includes: guide services, kayak and paddling equipment, and a dry suit with boots and neoprene gloves. If needed, we can also lend you a dry bag, a waterproof phone case and an eyeglass retainer.
Duration: The total duration of the programme is approximately 3 hours.
