Rovaniemi: Arctic SnowHotel Tour and Dinner with Transfers - The Arctic SnowHotel tour, where the ice art has a purpose

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 456 reviews · 2 minutes - 4 hours · from $170Our pick

Tour the Arctic SnowHotel in Rovaniemi, then enjoy a 3-course dinner in the Ice Restaurant, with transfers and optional fire-side meal.

“We joined the Arctic SnowHotel tour with dinner included. Before going, we were worried it might be extremely cold and uncomfortable, but despite the outside temperature being around -25°C, it was about -8°C inside and surprisingly comfortable. Our table was ready when we arrived, and the food was very tasty. The hotel interior and rooms were beautifully designed, and the sculptures were truly impressive. You could clearly see the skill and creativity of the artists. Our guide, Alexandra, shared great information about how the hotel is built each year, which made the tour even more interesting. The best surprise was seeing the Northern Lights during the tour. We were lucky…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 158 reviews · 4 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $189Top rated

Sauna on an Arctic lake, ice swimming, smoked salmon dinner, and a chance at Northern Lights from Rovaniemi, with hotel pickup included.

“We had a great evening! We were very carefully explained the « procedure » for a traditional sauna and how to prepare for the ice bath. It was quite the experience! We were anxious at first but we were very happy to have done it. The meal afterwards was delicious, and we had a very nice chat with the owners. Unfortunately we didn’t see northern lights as the activity was quite low and there were a lot of clouds, but we knew this was only a matter of luck so it didn’t bother us. Highly recommend!”

Ivalo: Lake Inari Northern Lights Tour w/ Reindeer & Dinner

5.Lake Inari Northern Lights Tour w/ Reindeer & Dinner

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 80 reviews · 4 hours · from $194

Sleigh ride to Lake Inari for possible Northern Lights, reindeer feeding, and a homemade Lappish campfire dinner in a small group.

“Zonder noorderlicht (wat natuurlijk nooit te garanderen is) is deze tocht wat magertjes. Het is vooral een (koude) tocht over het meer in een slee achter een sneeuwscooter gevolgd door een tussenstop in een tipi tent met vuur waarop worstje/soep/brood worden klaargemaakt en waar je de gelegenheid krijgt 2 rendieren te voeren. Daarna nog paar minuten terug met de slee naar de auto die ons terugbracht naar de beginlocatie waar we onze dikke geleende pakken konden inleveren en daarna teruggebracht werden naar ons hotel. Als totaalpakket niet slecht als aanbod, maar in de praktijk zonder noorderlicht heeft het weinig om het lijf.”

Glass Igloo Campfire Dinner under Northern Lights

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 21 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $402

Glass Igloo campfire dinner in Rovaniemi with Northern Lights hopes, warm glogi, and a snowy frozen-lake ride. Private, 3 hours.

“Very nice tour. We were picked up on time, beautiful romantic place for dinner. 3 course dinner and unlimited non-alcohol glogi followed by snowmobile ride on the frozen lake, which was a lot of fun. I rate it 4 because despite of sitting by open fire, it was very cold inside igloo with the outside temperature -8C and inside between 0+5. In 1.5 hrs we were frozen. Having a small heater inside igloo would make dinner more enjoyable.”
