Water clean enough to see straight through -
No industry, no crowds. Just wilderness catchments feeding lakes and rivers that run among the clearest in Europe.
A Swimming Holiday In The Land of the Midnight Sun
What’s Coming? -
Discover the magic of Finnish Lapland through unforgettable wilderness swimming experiences, breathtaking landscapes, and moments you’ll remember for a lifetime.
Between May and August the sun barely dips below the horizon in northern Lapland. The lakes and rivers of Lapland can be enjoyed long into the nightless night.
We guide one or two swims a day through wilderness water, by daylight or under the midnight sun.
We’re 300 km above the arctic circle, but this isn’t ice swimming. —-It’s quite the opposite. Come for the long light, the pure water and a part of the world most people rarely get to swim in.
Thank you - Matt and Päivi

Why this part of Lapland?
Set 300 km above the Arctic Circle
At 68.5 degrees North, the Inari region offers something rare: pristine, uncrowded lakes and rivers, near endless summer daylight, and water quality among the cleanest in Europe. It’s wild, it’s remote and it’s ours to share with a small number of guests each season.
