Planning Your Arctic Animal Adventure:
To ensure your Arctic animal adventure in Rovaniemi is memorable and comfortable, consider these tips:
- Book in Advance: Especially during peak season (December-March), tours sell out quickly due to limited group sizes and animal welfare considerations.
- Dress Warmly: Lapland's weather can be very cold. Even if winter clothing is provided for your tour, warm layers underneath are always recommended.
- Check Age/Height Requirements: Some tours have specific limitations for drivers or participants, particularly for children.
- Prepare Your Camera: Bring your camera with extra batteries to capture incredible moments with the animals and the stunning winter landscapes.
