    I liked that it started early. We beat the crowds of other tours to do the reindeer sleigh ride, and husky sledge ride. And by the time we were finishing with he snowmobile portion, that was filling up.as well, The tour was very organized, with the staff getting everyone in gear and on the bus in a short amount of time. Dom, Andrea L, and Thalis were wonderful guides. They kept the group on task, made sure everyone had what they needed, and were able to answer questions.

    So much fun. I would suggest offering gloves as I recall the handles of the snow mobile got hot. But genuinely. So much fun. Highly recommend!!

    This was the BEST excursion ever! Andrea was our driver/host and we could not have asked for a better person!

    Lapland highlights

    Tamara_P, Mar 2025
    What an unbelievable start to our trip in Lapland. Seeing and experiencing the huskies loving running in the snow, reindeer sleigh rides felt like we were out of a movie. Yes they were short but was such a great snapshot to experience it. The snowmobiling was alot of fun! Appreciate the warm drink afterwards. Was a great morning out and such a highlight of our Lapland trip.

    We had a really good...

    Highly Recommend this tour.

    This was a fabulous day. Husky ride was exhilarating and the meet and greet with the dogs was magical. The reindeer ride was like stepping back in time. Loved every minute. The snow mobile was so much fun. Would do it all again . We were picked up at our accommodation by Kevin our guide. So friendly, informative and minded everyone on his group every step of the way.

    Wonderful experience

    Jenna_S, Jan 2025
    Amazing experience! Although there was some issue with check in I had to call the company morning of to double check. Everything was organized very well and lots of activities throughout the day.

    Wonderful way to experience a lot in a shorter period

    It was an amazing experience, i would hoghly recommend booking this tour. The tour guides were super friendly and informative. They made sure ever money spent was worth it.

    Fab day out!

    Charlotte_C, Dec 2024
    Fabulous trip, jam packed day, covered a lot of great activities, travelled an hour or so out of Rovaniemi to chase the snow due to lack of, snowmobiling was definitely a highlight. Fabulous tour guide, thank you for a great day, very much recommend!

    Great tour guides! Cheaper than get your guide

    Omar_M, Nov 2024
    Nikki and Robert were great. They're our tour guides. I loved how this trip was not like in a big bus, but was rather semi private. It worked so well bringing a baby with us. They made sure that the baby would comfortable and we genuinely felt Nikki's care.

    jacquelyn_n, Jan 2024
    Great tour for experiencing all 3 activities. The huskies and rain deer is only short ride, for me and my wife was more than enough. You have time to pet them and to take pictures. The snowmobile activity was the best for us, about 1 hr ride into the wild at a pretty good speed. Our tour guide which I don’t remember his name but he’s from Greece was very enthusiastic and kept us very entertained. We highly recommend this tour

    The tour was moved from 8:30 to 11:39 but we had no notice of that so we were outside at -25 degrees to wait at 8:30 and we had to call to know the the right time was 12:30. Not well managed

    Fun activities but little chaotic at the meeting hub.

    matthewko1980, Dec 2023
    We had a lot of fun that day. I just wish the tour was little bit more organized and clear instructions were given at the meeting hub. It was quite chaotic there and no signs or clear directions. Many customers seemed confused so we were. They have a lot of staff but it was just very busy and confusing. The actual activities were fun!

    Fun artic adventure

    AMAZING

    Allyson_S, Mar 2023
    Amazing experiences mixed all together! Definitely make our holiday and give a twist as rovaniemi is a small town Chris has been an amazing and very polite and funny guide! Worth all the money Thank you Nordic Unique

    Good to get a general idea of 3 activities

    Larissa_S, Feb 2023
    This tour was actually good, friendly staff, easy pick up options. But it will not be a small group tour, it will be a big bus tour, full of people of different nationalities. The tour has 3 parts. 1 part was husky ride on a sleigh for 4 people, a cicle of 800 meters. 2. Tour is a reindeer ride for 2 people in a sleigh, which was OK. 3. Part is a snowmobile tour for 1 hour, highest speed limit is 40km/h, limited a little because there are too many people on this ride with you. Anyway, if you are looking for an introductory, beginner tour that gives you a very general idea, it is your choice. If you are looking for a deeper experience, take another tour.

    definitely recommend this tour. I cannot complain about a thing.

    Rizwan_A, Feb 2023
    Very good tour. Everything was done perfectly. Loads of time was given to pet the husky dogs and they looked very well looked after. Our guide was great. Forgot his name but he was the young man from Croatia who likes motorbikes. Snowmobiling was amazing and they were considerate as they split you into 2 group depending on whether you wanted to go faster or slower. Great tour!

    Very exciting experience,...

    Benedetta_D, Jan 2023
    Very exciting experience, especially for the snowmobile part, when riding through the sunset in lappish forest

    Very good! Would book again 💯

    Sheng_D, Dec 2022
    All activities were fun! Best part was the very thrilling snowmobile activity! Our guides were very attentive to us despite the group being so large. Would book this tour with NUT again

    Amazing experience with amazing people.

    Ashley_R, Dec 2022
    I must say I was worried about the whole situation because of reviews etc but I can honestly say it was amazing… the reindeer & husky rides wasn’t as long as some would like but they were plenty for me, my partner and daughter. Any longer would be abit pointless. The snowmobiles were amazing. Our tour guide matus was amazing. Really made the whole experience the best. The only this I would do differently would be to book direct with Nordic unique travels as all the booking company’s make it confusing and more expensive.

    Alot of time waiting...

    Fiona_F, Dec 2022
    Alot of time waiting around. Very little time with animals husky ride lasted bout 2 mins reindeer rides about 5 mins. Only part of the trip that was worth the money was the snow mobiles, and our 2 kids couldnt drive ( this was not stated in the itinerary of the trip) felt whole trip.was over priced for what it offered. Would not recommend to anyone

    Fantastic

    Gavink83, Nov 2022
    Great trip for the day. Ken our guide was excellent. Snowmobile was cancelled due to lack of snow but quad atvs were a great replacement. Highly recommend

    Arctic Adventure

    Paul_C, Apr 2022
    We had an absolutely fantastic time on this tour. As it was late in the season it was just me, my brother and Kun the tour guide from Nordic Unique Travels. The day started with kitting us out in the correct gear for warmth and protection then heading out for the first event a dogsled ride with 8 Huskies pulling each of us along for 2 km. Then we went to meet the dogs and chat with the dog handlers which was very interesting. Next we did the same with reindeer ride although this was a little more sedate. It was still charming and afterwards we had hot berry juice and biscuits and had a great chat with the lady that looked after the reindeer which was very informative. Then we headed off for what for me was the highlight of the day …..the snowmobiling. As there had been a recent heavy snowfall we headed off into a winter wonderland of fresh powder and saw very few other people during our trip which was around an hour. The snowmobiles were easy to handle and we soon gained confidence as we set off on our varied and interesting route. A fantastic day all round but a special mention must go to Kun the guide who was great fun to be around and inspired confidence that he knew what he was up to. He seemed to be enjoying himself as much as we did and made the day even more special.

    Fabulous way to spend the day!

    Janet_B, Mar 2022
    What an absolutely amazing experience!! Sergio and Laura made the day an absolute perfect time! They both where happy to take photo’s, explain things as we went along and never made you feel like just another customer! Highly recommend this!

    Family, fun, snow ⛄️

    Amazing Finland Experience!

    Carson_D, Dec 2021
    This was an amazing experience and the tour guides were absolutely amazing!! We highly recommend this tour!

    Great way to try multiple adventures

    Phillip_W, Dec 2021
    Our tour guides Robin & Arnaldo were awesome! This trip was great to partake in 3 different adventures. We started off by going to the husky farm where we could pet the huskies through their kennels, we enjoyed a fast ride on a 10 husky slay, followed by a drive to first feed a reindeer then be pulled by a reindeer in our own sled. The reindeer pull you slowly around an established track in a wooded area but it was a good experience. We finished the tour trekking the outskirts of Santa’s Village on snowmobiles for a fun filled ride. Each stop also had places to warm up with a fire inside a large wooden yurt with hot berry juice and ginger cookies. Guides also provided information on the huskies and reindeer after each event and allowed for multiple questions before moving on. We were also picked up and dropped off from our hotel and all cold weather gear was provided.

    Great experience

    It was a very memorable day , with great guides, especially Manel, who was very helpfull and communicative. The snowscooter Safari was the icing on the cake, a spectaculair experience. He also gave us a lot of Information, on where and how to see the northern light. The visit of the husky and reindeer Farm was quite touristic, but still very nice .
