Explore the North is a company owned by wildneress couple- Johan & Sara. They arrange different kinds of activities, with dog sledding as our main attraction in the winter and a comfortable summer lodge for fly fishers on the Lainio river.

The lodge is located in Kangos, a small village 150 km north of the Arctic Circle. Pine tree forests, lakes and rivers make this landscape a beautiful place. In the summer you can enjoy the midnight sun and as we head into autumn/wintertime the magical northern lights.

The main lodge is situated just beside a beautiful lake in the middle of the forest. It has a reception, dining room for 60 people, bar, lounge and 10 double rooms upstairs.

The building next to the main Lodge has 7 double rooms, 1 family apartment and meeting room for 20-40 people for the special business moment. Here you can also enjoy a cold beer or a cloudberry sour in our cozy Brown Bear Bar.

Your guide for the week will collect each day to head to the Camp Onka fishing grounds a few short minutes away and after a long hard day on the water batteling the elements, return you to the lodge to wind down in an envitingly warm, dry, clean environment.

After daily activities we always have the hotel sauna heated, where you can relax and enjoy the beautiful view over the lake. Before dinner you can enjoy a drink/ beer in our lounge bar and then sit down in our restaurant for a good meal made out of the local produced food from Lapland.

The dining room overlooks our beautiful forest lake filled with Trout, Grayling and Arctic Char available our guests if a change of fishing dyanmics is required. 

Breakfast and dinner is provided by the lodge daily and your guide will provide you with a simple rustic riverside lunch to keep the engine running while searching for our famous Baltic salmon.
