KEINO
”Keino” stands for means in Finnish, and in Lapland it has traditionally signified a trail. KEINO into nature is your way to come into nature.
We provide you and your friends with the opportunity to discover the untouched northern nature. You will be able to experience the profound peace that only nature can foster.
Wilderness Paddling
Paddling is one of the best ways to come into nature. If you are looking for action and thrill, Lapland rivers and their rapids are the perfect destination for you. Alternatively, if you feel like enjoying nature without the thrill element, you will find convenient paddling destinations among Lapland’s countless lakes and tranquil rivers. Paddling makes it easy to observe nature and wildlife, and you also get the chance to fish in places not otherwise accessible. If you would like to simply be and enjoy the peace of nature, you will easily find suitable campsites along the paddling routes.
The waters of Lapland start melting and being ready for the paddling season at the end of May. They freeze over again around October–November. However, there are major annual fluctuations in the length of the paddling season, and there are great regional differences. At the beginning of the season when the snow is melting, the rivers are full of water and the rapids are strong. By the end of the summer, the water content might be reduced and the rapids might have become rocky. It is important to take these changes into consideration when planning a river adventure.
We help you realise the paddling adventure of your dreams. We offer paddling adventure gear for rent and arrange transportation. We also provide support for adventure planning, and wilderness guide services when needed. On a guided paddling adventure, you will learn about paddling techniques, the behaviour of streams, safety, and general hiking skills.

Hiking
Hiking by foot is a simple and the most traditional way to come into nature. Naturally, it requires some fitness, but not special skills. By hiking, it is possible to reach almost any destination, as long as your gear, fitness, attitude, and camping skills are on a sufficient level. In case you lack any basic skills, you are welcome to turn to our guiding services.
We offer you help with the planning of your hike and arrange transportation to hiking destinations. On a guided hike, you will have the opportunity to easily and safely practice your hiking skills and develop them further. As a result, you will discover a new world of hiking where you have the freedom and capability to hike to wherever your heart desires.
Backcountry Skiing
Backcountry skiing requires a right kind of attitude, knowledge of nature, appropriate gear, and survival skills. Keeping these aspects in mind while entering the wintery nature, you will most certainly be returning with a good bunch of unforgettable memories. Nature in the winter is demanding, but it will also reward the ones to explore it.
We organise transportation of customers and gear, as well as guided adventures to winter hike destinations. On our guided skiing adventures, your most important piece of gear is the right attitude. As the adventure progresses, you will gradually accumulate any previously lacking knowledge of overnight camping, food management, snow conditions, and navigation.
