Hire, Shop & Transfers

Hire Costs @ Base

Per day / per week: Single Kayak €30 / €185; Double Kayak €40 / €250; 2–3pax Canoe €40 / €250; Canoe Trolley €5 / €25; Barrels, Dry Bags & Pelicases €5 / €25 per item; Inflatable SUP Board €15 / €175; Packraft €25 / €125. For kayak hire from the Rysä in downtown Hetta there is an additional €5 service charge to cover the 16km of driving for check-out and check-in. When you hire our watercraft we also issue buoyancy aids, paddles and a spraydeck for kayaks if required.

Recommended Local Paddle: Suonttajoki–Ounasjärvi

A wonderful close-to-home paddle on the Suonttajoki River — a c.3-hour facilitated journey we recommend to all our visiting friends and family. A guide walks you from the homestead to the canoes (about 7 minutes away), helps you to the water and gives basic paddling tips. You meander down the Suonttajoki and across Lake Ounasjärvi to a community fireplace on the far shore, perfect for grilling sausages, before paddling back. Cost is €20/person for canoes (2–3 people per canoe) and €45/person for kayaks, including buoyancy aid and paddle.

Transfers & Guiding

If you are competent to paddle alone, you can simply rent the boats and we can organise transfers to and from river put-ins and take-outs. If you would like extra confidence, we are happy to guide you on these journeys — and on some rivers this gives you access to wilderness cabins for overnight stops that we do not otherwise rent out. For transfer-only options see the facilitated journey prices; for guided trips see our canoe and kayak adventures pages.

Dog Meat

We supplement our dry food with Musch raw meat. Our Musch-sourced 10kg blocks of raw meat cost €15 each.

Harnesses, Booties & Mushing Kit

We have a number of new and second-hand dog harnesses available for sale in a variety of sizes. A set of 4 dog booties can be purchased for €10. Necklines and other mushing and skijoring equipment can also be purchased from us — please enquire for more details.

Dry Food

We use Puhti's Zip food from Hankkija and sell 20kg bags at €39.00 (incl. 14% VAT) — €1.95/kg. Zip is an energy-rich food suited to strenuous exercise: rich in protein and vitamin E, with 4.0% dried salmon for essential fatty acids plus chondroitin and glucosamine for the joints, and no wheat, artificial colours, flavours or preservatives. Working-dog and puppy food are available on request.

The Bikes

E-Fat Bikes: 3 x S/M, 5 large and 1 XL available — 'S-Electros' from Silverback and S/M and M/L 'Avalanche' bikes from Rock Machine. Our E-fats are stored downtown in a heated store in winter, so there is a supplemental €20 charge to the winter hire prices to cover issuing and returning them.

Adult Fat Bikes: 3 small, 3 medium and 4 large — 'Charge' Cooker Maxi 2s, Nakamura Mammut, 'Salsa' Mukluk and 'Felt' DD30s.

Children's Fat Bikes: 2 (suitable c.8–12 yrs), both Scoop Half bikes from Silverback, plus one small children's mountain bike for a 6–9 year old.

Fat Max Scooters: kick-bikes with fat tyres, most commonly used for fat-max-joring with the dogs but also rentable for kicking around locally.

Where to Go

We are happy to advise on suitable trails. Some favourites are hard to explain, so for a quick tester ride — or a guide along in case of mechanical issues — see our guided route options. We much prefer people to ride to and from our site, just 4km from the centre of town, rather than transferring the bikes, as most damage we have seen comes from inadequate transfer care. In winter you can bike on maintained trails right from our yard. We use apps such as rewindr, jahtikartta and karttaselain, and local bike trail maps can be found on 'ULKO'.

Insurance, Liability & Replacement Values (from the Price List)

You can purchase peace-of-mind liability-reduction insurance at €10/day (bike), which means you are not responsible for the first €100 in repair costs — this covers the majority of issues.

Emergency Roadhead Extraction Insurance is €10/day, and a bundled Damage Waiver + Extraction package is €25/day (first €250 liability + roadside recovery). For 2-day+ rentals we may require a damage deposit (credit-card charge plus a photo ID).

Rental Terms & Conditions

Rental prices are charged in advance; insurance fees can be paid at pick-up. You need to present ID and provide contact details. Use of equipment is at the renter's own risk, and bikes must be returned in the same good condition (ordinary wear and tear excepted). Each bike is professionally checked and fit before your arrival and wiped with alcohol solution before and after use; please check it and ride a test circuit in the yard on receipt. We cover failures beyond the renter's control (e.g. damaged frames, worn bottom brackets) but not tune-ups, punctures, broken spokes/chains/derailleurs or damage from use or misuse. Instruction in bicycle use and maintenance is not provided — participants must be competent with a multi-speed bicycle.

Lake-to-Lake Paddle (via Lake Muotkajärvi)
