Seamless start to your experience

You’ll be picked up in style from your hotel or accommodation in a Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, or similar vehicle. Upon arrival, you’ll receive a Fazer chocolate welcome before meeting your English-speaking guide. After a brief orientation, you’ll set off into Lapland’s winter wonderland.

Husky safari through the snow

At the husky farm, you’ll meet energetic sled dogs eager to run. Enjoy a 500 m sleigh ride with the huskies, feel their power up close, and learn about how they’re trained and cared for.

Chasing the Northern Lights

As night falls, your guide will lead you to remote and dark spots ideally suited for Aurora viewing — lakeshores, forest edges, open skies. At two locations, you’ll pause for hot fruit or berry tea while waiting, and your guide will help you learn how to capture the lights on your camera or phone.

Small-group comfort and convenience

Enjoy the intimacy of a small-group tour with a maximum of eight guests. All taxes and service fees are covered, and transfers are arranged within 12 km of Rovaniemi City Center, with options available for those staying further out.

What to bring

Dress in warm base layers such as thermals, fleece, or wool, and add thick socks, gloves, and a hat.

Bring protective cases for your camera gear and keep it inside your jacket when not in use to prevent battery drain and condensation issues.

Sunglasses and lip balm can make a big difference in the bright, snowy landscape and dry Arctic air.

If you need personal medications, please carry them with you, as the tour lasts about seven hours outdoors with limited breaks.

What’s not allowed

For safety reasons, alcohol or arriving under the influence is not permitted.

Large luggage or bulky bags cannot be brought along because space in the vehicles and during activities is limited.

Smoking is not allowed inside vehicles, near the animals, or during the activities to ensure safety and comfort for all guests.

Accessibility

This tour is not suitable for wheelchair users, as it involves snowy, uneven ground, boarding sleighs, and short walks outdoors.
