Going to Lapland in winter was always a dream. This did not disappoint. Right from the start of organising this, the team were a great help. They did everything possible to try find availability and make it all work so that we could do this trip. Loved the day trips we did and the accommodation was amazing. Didn’t have to think about anything as it was all organised. 100% would recommend this trip.

Alain was our tour guide and he sets the bar high for future guided tours - the Aurora tour was perfectly planned and he had everything prepared for every day which made it so easy for us to enjoy every moment of our trip stress free and without any worry, many thanks to Alain for a wonderful experience in Finland. I think our favorite part of the tour was the Husky Safari and the Glass Igloo. Playing with the husky dogs and later seeing the northern lights was spectacular! While at the the Scandic hotel, everything was clean and comfortable, the restaurant served a great breakfast, and staff were helpful and friendly. I absolutely recommend this tour and look forward to our next adventure in Finland!

What our customers ask about Rovaniemi Tours & Trips
What are the best months to visit Rovaniemi to see the Northern Lights?
The Northern Lights season in Rovaniemi runs from late September through March with optimal viewing between 9 PM and midnight. February and March typically provide the clearest skies for aurora spotting. Local guides recommend joining aurora hunting tours that venture beyond city limits into darker wilderness areas. Recent visitors who stayed at the Arctic Snow Hotel & Glass Igloos report that while aurora intensity varies the glass igloo setup creates ideal conditions for viewing the night sky.
How much time should I plan for visiting Santa Claus Village?
A visit to Santa Claus Village located 8 kilometers from central Rovaniemi needs 3-4 hours to explore properly. The village sits directly on the Arctic Circle line and includes key attractions like Santa's Post Office personal meetings with Santa and local craft shops. Visitors report that a morning is sufficient though some find a half-day visit allows for a more relaxed pace. Regular shuttle services run from major hotels including Scandic Pohjanhovi to the village entrance.
How early should I book activities and accommodations in Rovaniemi?
Winter season bookings from December through March require planning 4-6 months ahead particularly for specialty lodging like the Arctic Snow Hotel & Glass Igloos. The Christmas and New Year period demands even longer lead times often 8-12 months in advance. Recent guests note that premium winter activities like Northern Lights tours and husky safaris fill quickly. Properties like Hotel Aakenus often reach capacity months before peak season begins.
Where are the best places to stay in Rovaniemi for first-time visitors?
First-time visitors benefit from staying either in the city center or near Santa Claus Village. The centrally located Santa Claus Hotel puts guests steps from dining and shopping while Santa's Igloos Arctic Circle offers direct access to the village attractions. For aurora viewing the Apukka Resort sits 10 minutes from town in a darker setting ideal for night sky observation. Guest feedback consistently highlights the dual advantages of Santa's Igloos Arctic Circle for both daytime activities and nighttime aurora watching.
How much do winter activities typically cost in Rovaniemi?
Winter activity prices in Rovaniemi start at 85 USD for husky safaris and range up to 170 USD for snowmobile adventures. Northern Lights tours begin at 89 USD while specialized experiences like ice floating cost 88 USD. Reindeer farm visits with sleigh rides often come included in larger tour packages. The Santa Claus Village offers free entry though photo sessions with Santa carry additional fees. Specialty accommodations such as glass igloos range from 200-400 USD per night.
What are the best ways to experience the Northern Lights in Rovaniemi?
Northern Lights viewing in Rovaniemi centers around guided excursions that travel 50 kilometers from city lights. Local spots like Poro-Pekan Pirtti reindeer farm combine aurora watching with traditional Finnish campfires. The Northern Light Village Pyhä features Aurora Cabins designed with heated glass roofs allowing guests to search for the lights while staying warm. Visitors regularly praise the combination of comfortable viewing setups and authentic Finnish outdoor traditions.
