Rovaniemi: Korouoma Canyon & Frozen Waterfalls Tour with BBQ

Eric_W, Apr 2026

Great Hike day trip from Rovaniemi

This was an excellent tour. We went in early April and the waterfalls were still frozen. The going could be a bit icy and slippery but it was worth it. We were picked up from our hotel at 825am as part of a small group. We were at the office at 9am and fitted for overalls and crampons. It was about 90 minutes drive to the park. The hike was about 3 miles, a lot of hills up and down, but very good. The scenery was beautiful and the guide knowledgeable. About 4/5 of the way through the hike we stopped to grill hot dogs at a fun barbecue spot. We were back at our hotel around 430pm.

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.

Great experience ! The ride in the snowy forest was magical, so peaceful. Our 8yo daughter had been wanting to see and pet huskies for so long, and she was finally rewarded ! The dogs seem well taken care of, and ending the ride with a hot sausage in the yurt was a great conclusion for that experience.

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.

We had an amazing time on this snowmobile tour! They picked us up directly from our Airbnb and took us to the snowmobiling location, which made everything super easy and stress-free. Communication was excellent from start to finish. Our guide, Joshua or Jose (don’t recall his name), was really cool—personable, fun, and made the entire experience unforgettable. The prices are very reasonable, and they are very straightforward about the fees with no surprises. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a great experience at a pretty affordable price.

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!
