Great day!

If you are looking to go to the animal park, definitely book with Alex! He is conscientious and a pleasure to travel with! Alex will walk you from the van to the park, gets your tickets, and waits on-site for the return back. He even took our picture at the front entrance to the park!

Exceptional Norther Lights Hunt!

Had a fantastic time with Max and Mika last night hunting for the Northern Lights. It was a very clear night and the Auroras were predicted to come out so it was a pretty easy trip. But what I appreciated from Max was he always kept us updated as to what exactly we were doing, how long it would take us to get to his secret spot and when we stopped and reversed, he explained why his secret spot wasn’t too appropriate for us (snow was too thick). Instead we drove a few miles further to a desolate high road with a clear view of the skies and set up camp. Within minutes we saw faint lights which blossomed into huge Auroras that filled the sky and some that were right on top of us. Milka and Max were right there with their cameras constantly offering to take photos (sometimes multiple) to capture the moment. We stayed for over an hour until the lights faded then we headed back with Max and Milka handing out warm apple cider and cookies. I’ve hunted the Lights in Iceland previously with a little success. A lot of the trip really depends on Mother Nature and the Sun giving off its flares. But what made this trip nice was Max and Milka’s friendly manner, professionalism and smiling faces. I know they must do several trips a week but they made us feel like this trip was special. They are true representatives of the welcoming Finnish culture and I really enjoyed my night out. A few things that were confusing…Apple Maps gave a different location of the office. Luckily, I took an Uber and he dropped me off at the right office. It is crowded with multiple buses leaving at the same time but that’s a bit of a good thing as you can definitely find the office easily.

Snowmobile Night Tour Rovaniemi in small group

Josh_F, Feb 2026

Our nighttime snowmobile...

Our nighttime snowmobile tour with Snowride Lapland was awesome from pickup to drop-off. Guide Jonas was the best. He was super professional, friendly, and just made the whole thing unforgettable. Clothes were in great shape, snowmobiles basically brand new for a smooth, safe ride through the dark. They seem to keep groups small, which felt personal and chill, and everyone we met was genuinely nice and helpful. Trip would've been solid anyway, but Jonas took it to the next level. Killer at his job and a great guy all around. Highly recommend!

Rovaniemi: Drive Your Own Husky Team (5–8 km) & BBQ

Michael_B, Feb 2026

Dogs were great!

The husky dogs were beautiful, really loved getting to meet them. Being able to drive the sled was great but I didn't think the drive was as long as outlined, it felt shorter. Not sure if this was due to the conditions but it would have been nice to spend more time with them. Had about 20mins a the end of the tour were we were just waiting around doing nothing. Given a hot drink and bbq sausage after the ride but inside the hut it was very dark and not that comfortable. Tour guide was excellent overall though - shout out to Corantin.

We had our tour with Ali,...

We had our tour with Ali, who was exceptional. Ali, lived and breathed Aurora hunting, as he was determined to find an Aurora on an Aurora-less night. We found the Aurora 3.5hrs in, and then Ali was determined to get the big one. Ali even arranged to meet up with a bigger tour bus to provide bathroom facilities for my wife. We were both impressed with Ali’s dedication and service. Thank you for making it quite the experience, Ali.

A magnificent experience

One the best activities of our trip! We initially went to a beautiful place where the sky, the trees and the snow were creating a magical scenery. After a while, we saw the lights. That made the scenery even more magical! After that, we went to a different place where we saw the phenomenon in its greatness. The lights were upon our heads, extremely bright and dancing! Many thanks to our great guide, Roman! He really knew where and when to go and we think we saw what we saw because of his experience. He also explained us everything about the northern lights and last but not least he took amazing photos of us under the lights to remember our experience.

This tour was a lot of...

This tour was a lot of fun. Our guide, Jade, was super upbeat and energetic. Even though we didn’t see the Northern Lights, she still showed us a good time with roasting marshmallows and sausages. The husky and reindeer rides were both amazing. I highly recommend this tour.

A wonderful day

We had a wonderful experience today at the reindeer farm. Our guide and photographer were great and the sleigh ride was magical. It was great to hearing information about the reindeers and getting to warm up after the ride with hot chocolate and a snack. Our kids loved every minute and would definitely recommend.

Wonderful Experience

Thank you Nacho for a lovely experience. It was our first time snowmobiling and I can say it was one of our favorite experiences here in Finland. We also loved how small the group was to make it more of a personal experience. Nacho was great with our 4 children and very passionate and energetic!

Auroras and Wet Suits

Spent a close to a week in lapland, was lucky enough to have seen the auroras already. Was told this was not a good day to see again, guess what ? Once arrive to location auroras were waiting on us for the second day in a row. Our guide was very passionate about nature and provided a wealth of knowledge about the area. Once the auroras disappeared in about 20 minutes we proceeded to a wam cabin in which we were introduced to our survivals wet suits. Instructions were given and proceeded to get in to a froze lake. Ice had to be broken apart so that we could get in.... yes it was that cold. My teenager son was the first one in and the last one out, what and amazing experience. Once in a lifetime. Just book it!
