What to Experience on Your Summer Holiday?<\/h3>\n

A guided excursion with a local guide is something you won\u2019t soon forget.

The midnight sun shines around the clock until July 17, meaning you’ll never run out of daylight for your adventures!<\/p>\n

How does this sound: meeting a shaman, a herb-picking canoe trip, whitewater rafting, or a day as a horse enthusiast?
