1.From Rovaniemi: Amethyst Mine Guided Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 56 reviews · 6 hours · from $271Our pick

Hunt for amethyst in a Lapland mine, excavate your own crystal, then ride a snow train through the countryside from Rovaniemi.

“This tour doesn't make much sense if you're starting from Rovaniemi. It's a very long drive and the activity itself is way too short. You spend a whole day on it. The guide is basically just there for transportation. We were picked up in an old car with a broken door and were indirectly criticized by the guide for opening the door too wide because they would then have to pay for the repairs themselves. We found that really unpleasant. Of course, we didn't do it on purpose. This incident left us with an unpleasant feeling, so we no longer felt comfortable. As for the amethyst mine itself, the presentation…”

Small-group winter visit to the Lampivaara amethyst mine near Rovaniemi: dig for your own crystal, snowcat ride, and a campfire meal.

“If I could give this company a rating of -100 stars, I absolutely would. This was, without a doubt, the worst experience I have ever had with a service provider. I was waiting at the designated pickup location at the agreed-upon time, expecting a smooth and professional experience. Not only did they fail to show up, but they also never bothered to send me an email confirmation or any communication whatsoever. I was left completely in the dark. After waiting in vain, I decided to call the operator, hoping to get some answers. Instead of offering assistance or even a basic apology, the representative engaged in an unprofessional and frustrating…”

5.Jewels Of Lapland: Visit to Amethyst Mine in Luosto

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 9 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $225

Dig for amethyst at Europe’s only working mine near Luosto, with winter clothes, guided storytelling, and easy Rovaniemi pickup.

“Amazing landscape, the mine was worth a visit. We just wish that we had more time to walk a bit in the nature or at least enjoy it without rush (e.g. 10-15min per change of vehicle and on the summit), just like the break at the middle station which was very nice! The time in the mine digging was 30min and we thought it was well chosen as it's quite chilly there. We found some small pieces of Amethyst and were allowed to keep a few. We'd recommend this tour to anyone who just wants to go to the mine while having a good look out the window - if…”
