Lake Inari, the third-largest lake in Finland, is a vast, island-strewn wilderness sacred to the Sami people, and a boat cruise is the finest way to experience it. Setting out from Inari village, the trip glides among some of the lake’s thousands of islands, often calling at Ukonkivi, the holy island of the Sami, with a guide sharing the nature, legends and spiritual significance of these waters. Serene and beautiful, surrounded by untouched Arctic scenery, it is a magical and memorable introduction to the heart of Sami Lapland.
