Summer Activity Products
Adventurous summer activities in the Arctic wilderness, from multi-activity adventure days to paddling, biking and husky hikes.
The Arctic is a wonderful summer destination for anyone who loves the outdoors. The landscape and the possible activities change dramatically from month to month. The tiny frontier village of Hetta sits in the middle of nowhere, ringed by wilderness areas and national parks.

Adventurous summer activities
Finland's Lemmenjoki National Park and the neighbouring Øvre Anárjohka National Park together form the largest wilderness area in Europe. You are as likely to find signs of wolves, bear, wolverine, fox, elk and reindeer as of other humans. Our dogs are keen to meet new people year-round, if a little shyer in summer.
Adventure mornings and days
Sample the best of Hetta's summer in our adventure morning and adventure day programmes. These pre-made packages save time and money over booking each activity separately and can be tailored to any group or fitness level. See also our pages on hiking with huskies and on canoeing and kayaking.
Tailored adventures
Groups wanting more should get in touch. We can add zip wires, abseiling, adventure challenges or team building to an adventure day, or organise standalone hiking, rafting or bike journeys through the wilderness.
