Rovaniemi Small Group Reindeer Farm Visit with Sleigh Ride

Step into authentic Lapland life at a genuine, family-owned 100-year-old reindeer farm near Rovaniemi, home to over 400 reindeer in winter: a real working herd, not a handful of animals kept for photos. After pickup from your accommodation, step into the enclosure to feed the reindeer by hand and enjoy a long, peaceful sleigh ride through the snowy forest. Gather around the campfire with hot drinks and snacks while a local reindeer herder shares real stories about life on the farm and the traditions of reindeer herding. Groups are kept small (max 8 guests) for a relaxed, personal atmosphere, and professional-quality photos are sent to you after the tour. A private option is also available for your own group.

Rovaniemi Small Group Northern Lights Tour with Aurora Guarantee

Hunt the Northern Lights with a small local team that goes where the clear skies are. Before every tour your guide checks aurora forecasts, cloud cover and satellite data. There is no fixed route: if the best skies are further away, we drive there. Small groups (max 8 guests) travel by minivan or car, not big buses, so we can change direction quickly when the weather changes. Your local guide knows the best viewing spots and is also your photographer: you get professional photos of yourself under the aurora, delivered digitally after the tour. Hot drinks and snacks keep you comfortable, and when conditions allow we light a winter campfire. Perfect for couples, families and friends, first-time visitors to Lapland and anyone with only a few nights in Rovaniemi who wants the best chance to see the aurora. Book the Guaranteed Small-Group Tour with hotel pickup and a full refund if no Northern Lights are seen, or choose a Private Tour for your own group with the same guarantee.

Ashley_B, Oct 2026

So much fun!

This was the only “must have” for my trip to Finland and it did not disappoint. The experience was so unique and relaxing, I just wanted to sleep for the rest of the day. Our guide was Dany and he’s my favorite person of my entire trip. Dany - thank you so much for your kindness and humor, for making my mom & I feel so welcome. Hope to meet again someday in Romania! 🧀

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!

Aurora Arctic Ice Floating in Rovaniemi, Small-group

emese_n, Feb 2026

Most unique way to see the lights

It was so amazing, unique. I did as a surprise for my bf for his bday . Our travel guide , I believe his name Victoria, was so nice and play his part and told the other passengers to play along . On our way to the lake he stopped showed us the beautiful aurora lights , took pictures than we were off to . In the cabin he explained everything suited us up . He took videos and pictures each of us getting into the lake . Turned the lights off ( but he remained right on the dock ) so we have can see the light to the fullest. 😍😍 As coming out he helped me since I got stocked 😂 on the ice 😂. After taking the suit off we had hot tea , cookies . My bf had an amazing time ! These survival suits are fun to float in !! No water got in! Highly recommend this activity since it’s super unique!! 😍😍😍

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.

Rovaniemi Husky Safari - Self Drive Adventure 6-10km + BBQ

Limit_U, Jan 2026

A must try experience!

The ride was awesome and our guide was also very helpful. I only wish I knew ahead of time the sled allows for both an adult and my 6 year old to ride at the same time, as I thought my wife and I would have to drive separates sleds. Slightly tricky to find the pickup location without a photo, but our guide and other travelers were patiently waiting for us for a few minutes.

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!

Are guided tours in Rovaniemi worth it?

Yes, guided tours in and around Rovaniemi are worth it; in fact, they're almost a must. Like most Arctic destinations, there's not a lot of public infrastructure, and things are pretty remote. Most activities in Rovaniemi aren't in town itself, so it helps to book a tour that includes transfers. Local guides are also your key to being introduced to cultural experiences, and they know when and where to see the northern lights.

Per one customer who booked the Rovaniemi: Northern Lights Pro Guaranteed - Unlimited Distance tour, "Such an amazing night, with a passionate guide/team of Aurora hunters. Made sure we got the best of what the night could offer...they didn't settle for average. They worked as a team to scout, share information and experience to find us the best view possible. And not just the best view but the best photos they could get us...and educating us along the way."

How much do Rovaniemi tours cost?

Expect to pay a minimum of US$70 per person for a northern lights tour with a guarantee for sightings. Of course, private tours and all-day tours that visit multiple attractions will cost a lot more money.

Pricier options that are also highly-rated include the Private Glass Igloo Dinner on the Shore of Frozen Lake from around US$390 per person. It includes snacks by the fire, a 3-course dinner served in a glass igloo, a visit from Santa Claus, and if you're lucky, a northern lights sighting.
