FINLAND · EVENING EXPERIENCES
The 9 evening experiences we would put on a Finland itinerary, with the price, the hours it swallows and who it actually suits. The first entry is first for a reason.
Cruise Helsinki’s islands at twilight, pass Suomenlinna, enjoy shoreline views, and buy Finnish food and drinks aboard for $30.
“Couldn’t heart the captain and details about the islands. Somehow if they can improve that.”
Ride a snowmobile through Rovaniemi’s dark forests, warm up by a campfire, grill sausages, and hunt for the Northern Lights.
“Loved this trip guides were organised very professional and friendly , great adventure for me and my son on the snowmobiles and then the barbecue with toasted marshmallows at halfway point Was truley magical driving in the forest in the dark , would highly recommend this trip”
Chase the Northern Lights from Rovaniemi with three Arctic stops, a fireplace BBQ, hot berry juice, hotel pickup, and photos.
“The tour was executed excellently. We were fortunate and able to see the aurora clearly in two out of three different locations. The staff were friendly and offered to take pictures of us and gave tips on how to take photos of the aurora. The food was great as well as they introduced us to the local specialties.”
Review of Levi’s 3-hour evening snowmobile safari, with forest trails, campfire snacks, winter gear, and a chance to see the Northern Lights.
“Our guide Brent was extremely informative, adding humour and charisma along the way. We were lucky enough to see the Northern Lights and our guide was helpful in assisting with photos. We had cooked Sausages over the fire, listening to the history and hot berry juice. Very fun, highly recommend.”
Ride a snowmobile through Saariselkä’s Arctic night, watch for the aurora, and warm up with sausages and hot drinks beside a fire.
“Activités bien mais par rapport au prix je trouve ça chère, après il y avait un très bon guide, sympa et plein d’anecdote ! Mais au vu du prix la prestation je suis quand même déçu ..”
Ride a snowmobile through Rovaniemi's winter forest, warm up by a campfire, and hunt for the Northern Lights with an expert guide.
“Jakub was our guide for this 3 hr adventure on Christmas day night. My 3 adult kids and myself were all amazed at the personalized conversations. He got to know each member of the group of 11. Remembered where we traveled from and interacted with all of us. We cooked sausages and marshmallows on the fire he made. We drank a special Christmas juice he made for us. Told us numerous stories about the northern lights, reindeer, folklore, and their culture. This was a very special adventure for our family to visit Santa Claus Holiday Village. Jakub from Apukka resorts was incredible. Thank you for helping make this Christmas a…”
Ride a reindeer sleigh through Lapland’s snowy forest, warm up by a bonfire, and watch for northern lights near Rovaniemi.
“This was my favourite activity we did during our stay- admittedly we were lucky enough to see the northern lights mid sleigh ride! Our Guide (I think Ant Sophie/ sorry if wrong) was excellent and made us feel so at ease and was so welcoming with information about the reindeers. The reindeers get very close but they were calm. - wrap up warm it gets chilly towards the end! Apukka was the best operator we used also! Top marks all round!”
Ride a snowmobile through Rovaniemi’s dark Arctic woods, warm up by a campfire, and search the sky for Northern Lights.
“It was an exciting tour, as I have never driven a snowmobile in the dark. Also the sausages and cookies were delicious. We did not see any Aurora lights but if there is activity it will be visible form the place where they stop to have a break.”
Review of Rovaniemi’s night snowshoe tour, with Arctic forests, campfire snacks, small groups, guide-led outings, and Northern Lights chances.
“Belle activité. Ciel magnifique. Guide génial. Bémol, l'activité raquette est un peu courte et assez simple : balade dans une forêt à peine 1h. Le temps de trajet vers le lieu d'activité est de 35'. Le temps de trajet est plus long que l'activité. Le réconfort près du feu est intéressant mais se fait à la fin dans un yourth sur le parking...”
Aurora nights, sled dogs, reindeer, and the sauna at the end of it.
