Arctic Ice Floating Experience in Rovaniemi

Skip the Christmas cartoons—this is the real reindeer sleigh experience. Settle into a cozy sleigh and let these iconic Arctic animals guide you along snowy trails, carefully prepared using stored snow from the previous winter. The ride is calm and unhurried, giving you time to relax and take in the quiet sounds of nature. Afterwards, warm up by the fire with a hot drink while hearing stories about traditional reindeer herding. This tour offers a genuine glimpse into the Lappish way of life, leaving you with both memorable experiences and a deeper understanding of local traditions.

Early Winter Reindeer Sleigh Ride 1-2km

Rovaniemi Husky Safari, 2–10 km Ride with Self-Drive Option

Hop on an evening ATV adventure and explore the Arctic wilderness far beyond the reach of city lights. Riding a quad bike allows you to access remote areas with ease, taking you deeper into nature as the landscapes of Lapland glow under the autumn night sky. Follow forest trails and open terrain surrounded by crisp air and the rich colors of the season. Along the way, enjoy the calm and stillness of the Arctic evening, broken only by the sound of your engine and the vast silence of nature. The route leads to a carefully selected Aurora viewing spot—a small hill with wide northern views and often clearer skies. Thanks to the mobility of ATVs, you can reach open areas where conditions are ideal for spotting the breathtaking Aurora Borealis as they move across the sky. Blending adventure, atmosphere, and the unique beauty of autumn in the Arctic, this experience offers a memorable way to discover the magic of the North.

Rovaniemi: Korouoma Frozen Waterfalls Hike & Campfire BBQ

Joana_C, Aug 2026

Natalie was amazing!! ✨

A beautiful walk with amazing views of the frozen waterfalls! Our guide, Natalie, was excellent from start to finish. He went to pick us up at Airbnb, explained all the logistics and shared interesting facts about Finland and the region. Teached us elf showers, we ate santa's beard and still made us lunch always with good disposition! I highly recommend!

A Bucket List Highlight: Ask for Esko at Tokka Safaris!

We are so glad we chose Tokka Snowmobile Safaris for our bucket list trip! Even with the late-winter slushy snow, our guide, Esko, turned a fun outing into a truly great tour. He was incredibly attentive, patient, and informative throughout the ride. The 3-hour duration was perfect—long enough to reach stunning viewpoints and enjoy some faster stretches over the frozen lake. The route through the coniferous forests is beautiful, and the break at the reindeer farm for hot drinks and warm donuts (indoors with a WC!) was a highlight. A huge bonus: Esko took amazing photos and videos of us. His video work was so steady it looked like he was using a gimbal, even on the bumpy terrain! With a small group of just four snowmobiles, the experience felt very personal. We’ll definitely book with Esko again when we return!

Organization...

Fantastic organization, you can see that the guys know what they are doing, in our case to avoid the clouds they took us all the way to Sweden, then moving us to a new spot after the first one had become crowded. Our guide made himself available to take all the photos we wanted and gave us explanations about the aurora also answering the various questions. He offered us hot juice and biscuits and returning we stopped near Rovaniemi because the sky had cleared giving us the opportunity to admire the aurora again and take more pictures. Very quick even in the delivery of the same, they arrived the next day along with some time-lapse videos. Really recommended, obviously as in our case good forecast for the aurora permitting. Thank you very much for allowing us to live this unforgettable experience!

Because of the abnormal heat...

Due to the abnormal heat that began to melt the snow early it was not possible to carry out the activity in Rovaniemi, the staff guys, however, very kind instead of canceling the activity (as happened in those days for other similar experiences) took us further north, about an hour's drive from Rovaniemi, where they had created a new track to cope with this unexpected, all without extra expense. Super recommended experience, the track was long and we had the chance to change drivers midway through. Very nice guide, kind and prepared.

Snowmobiles in Rovaniemi with Spanish guides and a heated capsule for children

We knew that we would have a good snowmobile experience with our 9 and 7 year old daughters hiring Snowride Lapland because we were looking for a lot and we knew that they were Spaniards who attended very exclusively (small groups) and with a heated capsule for the children, quite exclusive. Booking and contracting with Jordi was very easy, helping in everything and advising with doubts, distances, offering transfer to the accommodation... But reality FAR EXCEEDED expectations. It was just us, my wife and I on a motorbike (we took turns driving) and the girls in a capsule towed by the monitor's motorbike. Nacho is a past, passionate about his profession, given with our daughters, who keep a great memory of him, took us through lakes and forests of tales, with great sympathy and closeness. Pick-up and drop-off included. Flexibility for schedule change and transfer. An unforgettable experience! Thank you Nacho!!!!! We wish you the best! Hector, Leti, Noa and Telma. A hug!

Best reindeer sleigh experience ever!

It was a great experience! To our luck, it was very sunny so the reindeer ride was extra enjoyable. All the family members of the farm and all the rest of the employees were very sweet and helpful. After the ride, the hot chotolate/coffee and cake was just what we needed! And the q&a about the reindeers was very informative. We enjoyed the experience a lot!

Strongly recommend Super Hunting Team

We had a very unforgettable evening and the tour guide Ramus is passionate about travel very professional! Last night early in the morning informed us because the day is not yet dark so delayed departure, in the highway to see the full of the sky are super light dancing, he resolutely decided to park the car in the side of the road escape....we watched the life's most brilliant super light performance....different super light different colors flying dancing illusioned to rainbow, corridor, each other, shock to watch! The other buses followed us to stop, but soon left. Ramus used his professional knowledge to suggest that we stayed here for a while, and as a result we saw the most beautiful spectacle in our lives. Highly recommended to attend this spectacle, Ramus is passionate and professional. Responsible for the transfer of team members, shooting technology is also professional and serious! And very few members, we only eight last night, everyone can decide the trip according to their needs. Because last night we already saw the light early, and very happy and satisfied, decided to play only three hours to end the trip, because the group members are few, so the flexibility is very high!

Half-Day Experience in Local reindeer farm in Lapland

camillebM8855CU, Feb 2026

The magic of meeting reindeer!

I participated in this activity with my 7-year-old daughter. Very welcome to Beyond Arctic agency and great local guide (Emilia). It is about 40 min drive from Rovaniemi to Rennes farm. The place is very beautiful and the sleigh ride is peaceful and pleasant. We can feed the reindeer and spend time with them. Under a kota and after enjoying pancake and hot drink, the host gives us a lot of information about his breeding and reindeer. We did two activities with Beyond Arctic and I really recommend the agency for its professionalism, the quality of its guides (local for our two outings) and the kindness of its team.

10 km Authentic Husky Safari in the Taiga Forest – Family Kennel

Ryan_T, Feb 2026

Perfect, seamless, professional experience

We had an incredible experience booking our Husky Tour. We had transport directly from our Airbnb to the kennel - Soulmate Kennels - near the Finnish border. The driver was friendly and talkative. The kennel itself was amazing. The dogs looked healthy and the scenery - oh, my, god. Endless taiga forests covered in snow and blue sky above with sunshine peeking through. The husky slushing itself is hard work - I much preferred being in the sleigh! The transport back was flexible and the driver was willing to drop us at Santa’s Village, despite this not expressly being included in the booking. We HIGHLY recommend this tour company.

Nealy_F, Jan 2026

Highlight of my trip!

Loved this excursion! The meeting spot was easy to find. Our driver/guide was friendly and helpful. The reindeer park was very authentic and our guide there was genuine and experienced. The husky ride was a bit commercial but was such a cool experience regardless. The whole tour just the right amount of time, and not too strenuous. It was a small group size (there were 5 of us) so it felt more personal.
