“This is our favorite experience in Finland. I went on December 23 with my husband and 7 year old. Office was within walking distance (5min or less) from our hotel. Evie our guide was great, very nice and made great hot chocolate and Finnish sausage with flatbread (delicious!). She also took great photos of our family. The northern lights did not disappoint, it gave a great performance that night!”

Small-group winter hike in Riisitunturi National Park near Rovaniemi with BBQ lunch, photo stops, and 10–15 pro-edited photos.
“This trip was included with breathtaking views and sights. Some fantastic pictures from the guides. The trek was reasonably short and on a path therefore not through thick snow. Guides were excellent at matching the pace to the group to ensure everyone has the best experience possible. Lunch was minimal of cooking a sausage over the fire but all traditional Finnish experience. Quite expensive for the day but for us it was worth it and we all enjoyed it.”
Drive a husky team through Rovaniemi’s snowy forests on a 7.5 km sled ride, then warm up with drinks and kennel time.
“Very badly organized - it was supposed to start at 11:30 an then at the end it was 12. Then after arriving to the husky farm there was another half an hour waiting time for nothing. Very brief explanation about how the husky farm operates and then very little time to go around the farm itself and see the dogs (we could walk by 4-5 kennels before we were called back to go to the sledges). There was a good explanation about how to ride the sledges, but then we had to wait again to be able to actually go. The husky ride was the best part - the dogs…”
Full-day snowmobile safari from Rovaniemi into deep Lapland, with winter gear and a campfire Lappish lunch.
“An all day snowmobile tour of beautiful nature. Our guide was Patrick and we had a great time. Pick ups & drop off are well organized and they provide all the necessary gears. In addition to an organized drive through the forest etc. we were given two occasions to "freestyle" on a large open space! Also you can switch drivers in the middle. We had reindeer stew as lunch and it was delicious! Nice break to rest a bit and warm up before completing rest of the journey. It was one of our favorite experiences in our trip to Rovaniemi!”
