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!! 😍😍😍

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!

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.

Mariya_S, Feb 2026

Exceeded all expectations!!!

It was my boyfriends 30th so I wanted to book him some amazing experiences for his time in Lapland. We found Snowride Lapland for snow mobiling (something he’s always wanted to do). It’s safe to say we picked the right company. From the moment we got picked up from our hotel to the end, the whole team and service was amazing. Especially Nacho, our instructor, who gave us the most incredible tour through the woods and kept us entertained the whole time. If you’re looking for the perfect place for your snow mobiling trip in Lapland, honestly look no further!

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!
