★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 741 reviews · 2 hours · from $121

Guided snowmobile ride in Rovaniemi with training, warm gear, and about 1 hour of driving through Arctic forest trails.

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 379 reviews · 4.5 hours · from $110

Nuuksio National Park snowshoe hike near Helsinki with glögi and homemade mushroom soup in a laavu.

“The guide noticed how tired I looked at the end and wished me a good rest for the rest of my trip. The nature in Nuuksio was breathtakingly beautiful — quiet, alive, and endless. His mushroom soup was fantastic, and his stories about the forest fungi made the meal even better. He never seemed to run out of energy and answered every question we had with such patience. If I ever come back to Helsinki, I’d love to join this tour again.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 290 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $155

A small-group Northern Lights wilderness hunt from Rovaniemi with pro guidance, warm winter gear, and a crackling fire stop.

“It was very cloudy and snowing and couldn’t see the lights . We were taken to one location and spent time around the fire in the tent . Our guide used the time to teach how to make fire and explained about auroras. Rating 3 star as we couldn’t see anything and didn’t wait for longer or try other places. Guide was good and dropped us off at our place.”

Rovaniemi: Snowmobile Safari into the Wilderness

7.Snowmobile Safari into the Wilderness

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 254 reviews · 2 hours · from $129

Rovaniemi snowmobile safari into Lapland wilderness with gear, English guiding, and a silent stop. 2 hours, 15 to 30 km.

“Highly recommend this fabulous adventure at Apukka Resort. Our guide Juusi looked after us so well with excellent instructions & we felt so safe throughout the journey. We chose Apukka as they allowed our children (aged 15 & 10) to sit on the back of the snowmobiles as passengers with us adults driving. Nice balance between safety whilst letting us go faster as we became more confident. There were only 5 vehicles out on our tour which meant we could go at a good pace & we even took a detour on the way back for a few extra km to fill our allocated time. Very warm snow suits, mittens…”

“I hike in the United States. I wanted to explore the Finnish woods. Our guide was very good at pointing out all the special things on our hike. I had never done any foraging before and our guide explained everything about the plants we were sampling. He prepared a campfire lunch which was delicious. After our hike and experience he dropped us off at our hotels. I would definitely go on another experience with our guide again. I will always have fond memories of this hike in the National Park.”

Levi: Winter Wilderness Husky & Reindeer Safari Combo Tour

14.Winter Wilderness Husky & Reindeer Safari Combo Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 156 reviews · 2 hours · from $175

A 2-hour Levi combo tour: reindeer sleigh ride, hot drinks in cozy kota shelters, then a fast husky safari in Lapland.

“We were brought to the reindeer safari first. It was a short ride, but the guide at the circuit told an amazing story. Hot drinks were included; the hot chocolate was a bit thin (felt like it was prepared with water), but the pastry was tasty, and it was good to warm up in the Kotas. Afterward, we were transferred in a sled behind a snowmobile, which was good fun. We even got a big hug from the driver, which was a lovely surprise! The ride was nice. Arriving at the husky track, we immediately felt the eagerness of the dogs—a big contrast to the laid-back reindeer vibe. The four…”
