Wonderful experience made even better by genuine and sincere guides. All our activities were well organised and exciting. Food was very wholesome and tasty. Would recommend to everyone for a once in a lifetime experience
Finnish Wilderness WeekVery smooth experience. Stayed in comfy cabin around the hotel, not hotel building. Found many hairs on sheets the first night but they were changed. Hotel meals were excellent and got to use pools and spa. One experience cancelled and refunded. Other experiences fun.
Levi à la carteWell managed, friendly faces, comfortable accomodation, good food, lots to do and time for yourself to recharge.

What our customers ask about Adventure & Adrenaline Tours & Trips in Finland
When is the best time to visit Finland for adventure activities?
Winter activities in Finland reach their peak from December through March. The snow conditions in February make it perfect for cross-country skiing in Hossa National Park and husky sledding in Kuusamo. March brings more daylight hours which is great for exploring Oulanka National Park. Looking to see the Northern Lights? They're most visible from September to March especially around Ranua and Rovaniemi. A TourRadar traveler noted: "We saw the Northern Lights at the end of our first full day. The conditions were perfect with temperatures reaching -39C one night making it ideal for winter activities."
What are the most unique adventure activities available on Finland tours?
Finland's winter landscape opens up possibilities for distinctive outdoor experiences. Visitors can go husky sledding through the wilderness in Kuusamo snowshoe across Oulanka National Park and glide on cross-country skis over frozen lakes in Hossa National Park. The adventures continue with ice fishing near Ranua igloo building and the Finnish tradition of ice swimming after a sauna at Basecamp Oulanka. As one TourRadar traveler mentioned about their experience at Basecamp Oulanka: "Racing along being pulled by four huskies was exhilarating as was getting to the top of the ice wall - quiet moments in the national park with no other sound than those of our snowshoes were pretty special too."
What type of accommodation can I expect on Finland adventure tours?
Finnish accommodations blend comfort with authenticity. Options range from the scenic Basecamp Oulanka by Juuma Lake to the modernized Martinselkonen Wilds Centre a converted guard station. The Kirikeskus Wilderness Hotel in Posio offers another lodging choice while some tours feature nights in traditional wilderness cabins or igloos. As one TourRadar traveler shared: "The place we stayed was fantastic; I loved the big communal dining room/bar. Food was great and overall atmosphere really welcoming."
How many hours of daylight can I expect during winter adventures in Finland?
Winter daylight in Finland varies dramatically by location and month. Northern regions like Rovaniemi and Kuusamo see just 4-6 hours of daylight during peak winter months (December-January). By March daylight stretches to 10-12 hours giving more time to explore places like Hossa National Park. One TourRadar traveler noted: "You can see in the darkness clearly without artificial light because of the incredible brilliance of the stars and moon overhead."
What wildlife might I encounter during Finnish adventure tours?
The Finnish wilderness holds diverse wildlife even in winter. Visitors to Martinselkonen Nature Reserve and Oulanka National Park might spot tracks from wolves lynx and wolverines. While brown bears live in these areas they hibernate during winter. Reindeer are a common sight around Ranua and Rovaniemi. A TourRadar traveler mentioned: "Meiju was very knowledgeable about the plants and animals of the area and could identify all animal tracks (and poo!) we came across."
