Midnight Magic - Kayaking through the night!

Midnight Magic Kayak Tour - Discover Helsinki's Enchanting Archipelago under the Midnight Sun

Experience the magic of a Finnish summer night with our Midnight Magic Kayak Tour amidst the serene beauty of the Helsinki archipelago. You'll find yourself paddling beneath the glow of the midnight sun, a natural phenomenon that illuminates the sky with breathtaking hues of pink, orange, and gold. Midway through the tour, we stop at one of the islands, where a small fire will be lit as dusk begins to settle in. We warm up by the fire, and enjoy our snacks in peaceful marine surroundings.

Whether you’re an adventurer at heart or a traveler seeking a tranquil escape, this tour offers an unforgettable way to connect with Finland's unique natural beauty.

Discover the Beauty of the Helsinki Archipelago

The Eastern Helsinki archipelago is a hidden gem beloved by the locals. On this tour, you’ll get to see why. We paddle at a relaxed pace and your guide will take you around the islands. You can learn about the area, local nature and Finnish outdoor culture.

The highlight of the tour is experiencing the famous midnight sun, a phenomenon unique to northern regions in the summer months. Occasionally, if you’re lucky, you might even spot a seal lounging on the rocks or swimming nearby—a rare and magical sight that adds to the enchantment of the tour.

Guided tour suitable for everyone

The tour is designed to be accessible to most travelers, regardless of prior kayaking experience. While a basic familiarity with outdoor activities is helpful, our professional guides will ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. You’ll be provided with all the necessary gear, including beginner-friendly kayaks, spray skirts, PDFs and extra gear in case of rain.
