Canoeing under the Midnight Sun is one of Lapland’s most memorable summer experiences. With Arctic GM, the journey begins with a sense of history: a family-operated company tracing heritage back through twenty generations. Recognised with Tripadvisor’s Best of the Best 2025 and Travelers’ Choice 2025 awards, the operator blends local knowledge with a deep respect for Arctic nature.
As daylight flows into an endless evening, paddlers encounter golden reflections across calm lakes and silky river surfaces. The Arctic sky offers an extraordinary light that transforms familiar landscapes into luminous panoramas, ideal for photography and quiet reflection. The experience emphasises immersion in the wilderness — silence punctuated by gentle paddles and the subtle sounds of the shoreline.
Guides frame the outing with stories of the region, its natural rhythms and cultural roots, enhancing every moment on the water. After the paddle there is time to linger at the water’s edge, to feel the cool evening air and to absorb the atmosphere of an Arctic summer night. Guests leave with lasting impressions of light, space and an intimate connection to Lapland’s unique environment. This offering celebrates the simple, unforgettable pleasure of being close to nature beneath a never-setting sun.
