“Great way to see the many islands, the boat was good with a bar on board serving hot drinks and alcohol.”
Rovaniemi aurora tour with hotel pickup, three aurora stops, and a fireplace BBQ with warm drinks. 4 hours.
“I really liked the tour because the guide was amazing, she was called Daria and she was really kind and a great guide. She helped us with the settings on our phone to take good photos. We toasted marshmallows and had Lappish juice (blueberries and spices) and ginger biscuits. Reviewed by Rory aged 9”
3-hour Rovaniemi snowmobile safari with winter gear, campfire sausages, and a shot at the Northern Lights in the dark forest.
“The tour was great, guides Jenny and Robin are super instructors!! Can only recommend! We managed to see unusual auroras, the beauty of which amazed even the guides!”
Evening snowmobile safari in Levi, Finland: training, night-forest rides, campfire sausages, and a chance to see the Northern Lights.
“Speeding across a frozen lake under the moonlight. A truly unique activity if you’re not used to life in the snow. Our guide Lida was super nice. While we were sitting around the campfire in the lavvu/ teepee, she told us about the traditional Sami Lapland culture. Even though it was a bit cloudy, we still got a glimpse of the northern lights. A bit of a warning. If you haven’t driven a snowmobile before, it’s a bit more physically demanding than we expected.”
Saariselkä evening snowmobile tour with northern lights, warm clothing, fire-roasted picnic, grilled sausages, and hotel pickup.
“The snowmobiles were super fun and easy to drive with great handbar heating. We got warm polar jumpsuits and gloves and tasty food by the fire in the kotta. The views were amazing, real arctic experience!”

“Really great experience! We had the chance to see the northern lights.”
Nighttime reindeer sleigh ride from Rovaniemi with a bonfire stop, warm clothing, hot drink and aurora chances in Finland’s snowy forest.
“Great activity! The guides were all very helpful and informative and even answered all of my questions about reindeer and the lifestyle. We even got to feed them after the sleigh ride, which was super nice! The ride itself was quite good, the stars were very nice, and the reindeer sausages were tasty. No complaints.”
Evening snowmobile safari from Rovaniemi with winter gear, Arctic campfire snacks, and a Northern Lights lookout.
“An amazing experience, fantastic hosts john drago and David! Even though we didn't get to see the aurora it was still an unforgettable experience. They were so friendly and hospitable. Loved every minute ❤️ oh and they even catered for us vegetarians.”
Night snowshoeing in Lapland with a small group, warm Kota campfire break, and a chance at the Northern Lights near Rovaniemi.
“Ciaspolata notturna ben organizzata attraverso un paesaggio magico, purtroppo non siamo riusciti a vedere l’aurora ma è stata comunque una bellissima esperienza! Molto apprezzato anche il barbecue finale per riscaldarsi e mangiare qualcosa dopo l’attività”
Watch Kuusamo bears from comfortable Finnish hides with pro photo guidance, coffee and tea, and a strong shot at a 4-hour sighting.
“Belofte om beren te zien volledig waargemaakt en van heel dichtbij. Veel wetenswaardigheden gehoord van de gids.”
Ride a Finnhorse through Lapland at night, spot wildlife, then warm up by the campfire with juice and snacks in Rovaniemi.
“Pour moi, le rapport qualité prix n’y est pas. Cela ne vaut pas son prix pour 20-25 minutes de balade à cheval, et un petit café autour d’un feu.. Le prix correct serait de moitié prix selon moi, et à ce prix là ça serait acceptable. Peut-être ajouter brossage des chevaux, nourrissage … quelque chose de plus complet. Néanmoins, le personnel est adorable, et les filles sont très gentilles.”
3-hour Levi snowmobile aurora safari with English guide, thermal gear, tipi campfire sausages, and a night-sky backup plan on shared rides.
“Fantastic trip. We sadly didn't have the weather on our side to see the northern lights, but still well worth it. For a beginner the snowmobile can be daunting but you get the hang of it very quickly. With the right gear you don't get cold, and the stop mid way in the Sami style tent was fantastic. Highly recommended”
Rovaniemi’s wood-burned sauna, Arctic lake swim, and a fire-cooked dinner, with hotel pickup and an English guide.
“It’s not as scary as you think it might be. The guides explain everything and provide a wonderful meal. The others in our group felt like dear friends by the end of the evening.”
Rovaniemi night sky tour with hotel pickup, campfire tea, and a lappish barbecue. Small group, aurora viewing, and guide facts.
“Nous avons eu de la chance de voir des aurores boréales mais je ne peux pas conseiller cette activité avec Wonderlapland. La guide n’a quasiment pas parlé et ne nous a rien raconté sur les aurores boréales elle nous a juste emmené au tipi au coin du feu, l’autre guide présent parlait politique ..”
Night snowshoeing in Lapland from Rovaniemi with small groups, dark-sky routes for auroras, and included gear, pickup, and coffee.
