Rovaniemi: Small-Group Northern Lights Wilderness Tour

1.Small-Group Northern Lights Wilderness Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 1,515 reviews · 4 hours · from $136Our pick

Review of Rovaniemi’s small-group Northern Lights tour, with campfire cooking, up to three viewing spots, warm gear, and free photos.

“Emilie was a fantastic guide. The small group of seven (including Emilie) made the experience even more enjoyable. From the start, she was transparent and provided clear explanations. She also kept checking for the best locations to see the Aurora. Our first stop, about 20 minutes north, offered a faint but magical glimpse of the lights. Then, after checking for better conditions, Emilie drove us about 40 minutes south, where we were rewarded with an even more spectacular view. She captured beautiful photos of us, and the evening ended perfectly with a cozy campfire. Merci, Emilie!! ☺️”

Review of Rovaniemi’s 6-hour snowmobile safari, with wilderness riding, campfire lunch, warm gear, costs, tips, and practical advice.

“An all day snowmobile tour of beautiful nature. Our guide was Patrick and we had a great time. Pick ups & drop off are well organized and they provide all the necessary gears. In addition to an organized drive through the forest etc. we were given two occasions to "freestyle" on a large open space! Also you can switch drivers in the middle. We had reindeer stew as lunch and it was delicious! Nice break to rest a bit and warm up before completing rest of the journey. It was one of our favorite experiences in our trip to Rovaniemi!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 28 reviews · 3 hours · from $117

Review of Rovaniemi’s 3-hour guided kayaking trip, with calm Lapland waters, pickup, gear, small groups, guide languages, and value advice.

“We were very disappointed with this tour. Miguel was friendly and picked us up from the hotel. Contrary to the description of the activity, this was not a river tour. We were driven to a lake about 30-40 minutes outside of Rovaniemi, where we were given a single kayak. These were not canoes either. After that, we were left to paddle alone on the lake for 2 hours at sunset. It was not a guided tour, and we didn’t learn anything about the area or Finnish culture. Additionally, there was no hot drink provided. After paddling around on our own, we were driven straight back home. For us, it was…”
