Winter and Spring tours in Rovaniemi

Many modern smartphones can capture the Northern Lights using night mode or a long exposure setting. Our guides will help you adjust your phone or camera settings for the best possible shot. For stunning photos, we recommend bringing a tripod and using manual settings.

Absolutely, bringing your own food or drinks on the tour is no problem at all! Many guests like to bring snacks or special items for their personal needs. We kindly ask that you avoid eating during transfers to keep vehicles clean and comfortable for everyone, and to be tidy and considerate when consuming food during the tour. Please note that alcoholic beverages are generally not included and may be subject to specific tour rules.

Yes, we do our best to accommodate special dietary requirements. Please inform us about any allergies or dietary preferences at the time of booking so we can prepare suitable meals or snacks.

Most of our tours require a minimum of two paying adults to operate. However, there are some exceptions, so please always check the specific tour description for details. Solo travelers are welcome to book; if the minimum group size is not yet met, we will confirm your tour closer to the date, suggest alternatives, or offer a private tour option.

Consumption of alcohol is not allowed before or during any activities on our tours for safety reasons. If a participant is suspected to be intoxicated, they may be refused participation in the tour. However, once the day’s activities are completed, you are welcome to relax and enjoy a drink.

‍

For tours that include a sauna experience, we are absolutely fine if guests want to bring a small bottle of beer or similar to enjoy during the sauna. Please note that alcohol is not sold at our sauna venues, so you will need to bring your own.

While sightings are never guaranteed, Lapland is home to reindeer, moose, foxes, hares, eagles, owls, and a variety of other birds. Some tours are specifically designed to maximize the chances of spotting local wildlife. Your guide will help you observe tracks, signs, and animals - all while respecting and not disturbing the natural environment. Additionally, during the summer months, the wilderness is rich with wild berries and mushrooms, adding another delightful aspect to your nature experience.hiki

‍

We provide booster seats for older children upon request to help ensure a safe and comfortable ride. However, we do not offer infant or toddler car seats, as these require specific sizing based on the child’s age, weight, and height - and must often be secured using the IsoFix system, which is not available in all of our vehicles.

‍

If your child requires a rear-facing or toddler car seat, we kindly ask you to bring your own. Please also note this in your booking and contact us in advance by email if you have specific safety seat requirements, so we can confirm whether the assigned vehicle is compatible.

‍

Letting us know your children's ages, sizes, and needs ahead of time helps us provide the safest and most suitable arrangements possible.

In most cases, regular strollers are not practical in Lapland’s snowy terrain - especially on forest trails or unpaved areas. We recommend using a baby carrier or a lightweight plastic sled (pulled by a rope), which many families find more convenient in the snow.

‍

However, keep in mind that young children sitting still on a sled for long periods can get cold quickly. For this reason, it’s often more comfortable to keep moving or carry your child close to your body to retain warmth. If you need recommendations on what to bring or how to prepare, feel free to reach out - we’re happy to help make your family adventure enjoyable and safe!

Yes, most of our tours can be booked as private experiences upon request. Private tours offer greater flexibility, personalized attention from your guide, and a more intimate atmosphere — perfect for families, couples, or small groups. If you're interested in a private version of any tour, just let us know during the booking process, and we’ll be happy to arrange it.

Absolutely. Animal welfare is our top priority. We partner only with ethical local providers who follow strict standards for the health, safety, and happiness of their animals. All huskies, reindeer, and other wildlife you encounter are well-cared-for, trained, and treated with love and respect.

Yes, photography is allowed and even encouraged on our Arctic animal tours! Just remember to turn off the flash when photographing animals, and follow the guide’s instructions to ensure the safety and comfort of the animals.

In most Arctic animal tours, you’ll have the opportunity to interact with the animals - whether it’s petting the huskies, feeding reindeer, or taking photos up close. However, the level of interaction may vary depending on the specific tour and the wellbeing of the animals at the time. Our guides will always ensure the experience is safe and respectful for both guests and animals.

If you’re looking for an active experience, we recommend tours like Arctic lake floating, snowmobile safaris, or reindeer sleigh rides combined with Northern Lights hunting. These tours offer exciting physical activity and a chance to explore Lapland’s wilderness actively.

‍

For those seeking a more relaxing and peaceful experience, consider our traditional sauna with dinner and Northern Lights viewing, guided Northern Lights searches by comfortable transport, or visits to unique places like the Snow Hotel and Ice Restaurant. These options focus on unwinding while still enjoying the magical Arctic atmosphere.

‍

Whether you want to get your heart pumping or simply relax and soak in the serene surroundings, we have the perfect tour to match your style.

We recommend dressing in multiple warm layers to stay comfortable and protected from Arctic weather conditions. Start with a good quality thermal base layer (thermo underwear) that wicks moisture away from your skin and keeps you dry. Next, add an insulating mid-layer such as fleece or wool, which traps heat and provides warmth without bulk. On top, wear a waterproof and windproof outer layer (jacket and pants) to shield you from snow, wind, and moisture.

‍

Don’t forget warm accessories: insulated gloves or mittens, a hat that covers your ears, and a scarf or neck gaiter to protect your face and neck. Sturdy, insulated, waterproof boots with good grip are essential to keep your feet warm and dry during outdoor activities.

‍

For winter tours, we usually provide specialized winter gear such as outer jackets, snow pants, boots, gloves, and helmets when needed. However, bringing your own comfortable and weather-appropriate clothing underneath the provided gear will ensure the best overall experience.

‍

Layering allows you to adjust your clothing as you move between outdoor activities and warmer indoor or heated areas, helping you stay comfortable throughout the day.

Please be on time! Our tours follow a strict schedule, and if you miss the hotel pick-up, you will not be able to join later. Arriving separately by taxi or private car is usually not possible, as it may disrupt the program and group safety. Plan ahead — we appreciate your understanding.
