FINLAND · DINNER EXPERIENCES
A Lapland week always has one day fewer than the plan needs. These 15 dinner experiences deserve the slot, timed and priced so the argument takes minutes rather than evenings.

Review of Rovaniemi’s sauna, ice swimming, salmon dinner, and Northern Lights tour, with practical tips on price, comfort, timing, and value.
“The team was amazing we simply loved their vibes, hospitality, professionalism and their sense of humor 😂 Sauna and iced lake water took us to another level! It is at least once in a life time experimental! Food was amazing and the portions was huge, we were totally stuffed with to good food by the end! On the top of all we have tried to catch Aurora by the end of the night which we were not expecting anything from the team and they came up with the idea from out of blue at all! We enjoyed every moment and certainly recommend it to every visitor to Lapland! Thank you…”

Ride a snowmobile sleigh across Lake Inari, feed reindeer, and enjoy a Lappish dinner by the fire on this small-group Ivalo tour.
“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.”

Ride a reindeer-hide sledge to frozen Lake Inari, feed reindeer, enjoy Lappish dinner, and search for northern lights from Ivalo.
“The Northern Lights tour to Lake Inari from Ivalo with Viator was a fantastic experience! Although the weather didn’t cooperate, the guides went above and beyond to make the trip memorable by taking us to visit reindeer and enjoying a delicious dinner by the lake. Highly recommended for a well-organized and enjoyable adventure!”
Explore Snowman World in Rovaniemi with ice slides, skating, snow art, and a three-course Lappish dinner in a real snow restaurant.
“Really cool experience! It was a 3 course meal and just as described. I had the elk and everything was very tasty. There is an ice disco bar in the restaurant as well. They served shots in shot glasses made of ice. The snow sculptures on the walls were very impressive! I had access to Snowman world and went on the large labyrinth slide. Bundle up because it's cold!”
