    Angela

    Asked on November 14th, 2023

    We are planning a trip Finland with our primary objective to see the Northern Lights, but also want to balance it with other fun activities as well. What would be the best time of the year to accomplish this?

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • Nordic Unique TravelsOperatorWritten November 2023

      If the dates are flexible, we would recommend you to visit Lapland in March. The weather usually will be better, as you need more days with clear skies in order to have higher chances to see the Northern Lights. And in March we can still offer you snow activities (and also less crowded compare with December and January)

    Peter

    Asked on April 29th, 2023

    Can we upgrade the hotel, as well as to have a private car to move around, rather than taking train or public transport? And if yes, how much more would it cost?

    Accommodation
    Transport
    • Nordic Unique TravelsOperatorWritten April 2023

      We can first make an 7 days package tour offer with 5 nights in Hotel in the city center + 1 night in the snow hotel. But please be reminded that we don't recommend customers with kids to overnight at snowhotel as it will still be cold for some kids (and you will need to use the public toilet and shower room). I would suggest you to stay at glass igloo, and we can add dinner at the ice restaurant instead, so that you can still visit the snowhotel.

    • P

      Peter

      TravelerWritten April 2023

      Ok maybe we can fly straight to Rovaniemi. We will be coming from London. Can you customise a package for us similar to the 7-day luxury package. Is "snow hotel" same as "ice hotel"? One night at igloo hotel is good. In terms of duration, 7-10 days would be good. It is important that we get to see Northern Lights, Christmas village and the key highlights.

    • P

      Peter

      TravelerWritten May 2023

      Ok understood. This is clearer. There was also (a) a BMW experience driving on ice/snow. Is it possible to add that? (b) ice fishing Whether this can compress into the current 6D or if need be, can make it 7D. Pls let me know soonest as I want to book flights as well.

    • Nordic Unique TravelsOperatorWritten May 2023

      (a) For next winter season, we are not cooperateing with the supplier with the ice driving experience. The experience isn't suitable for family. Only adults can book the tour and the program itslef (for minimum 2 people) is costly as well. (b) We can combine snowmobile experience with ice fishing on D3.

    Asked on November 27th, 2022

    Is this tour departure already confirmed? How many travellers have signed up? Also, I noticed multiple languages are available. As of now do you know how many languages will be used?

    Group size
    Tour Details
    • Nordic Unique TravelsOperatorWritten November 2022

      The package tour consists of different day tours. Group size could differ everyday. Some tours like Hunting Aurora with BBQ will operate with a bus if many customers are on same departure, with maximum group size of 80. All guides can speak English at least. We usually operate tours with small van (8 people per vehicle). Almost all hotels are fully-booked already, and you might need to change between different hotels during travel.

    Tour Details
    • Nordic Unique TravelsOperatorWritten November 2022

      We have welcomed many seniors with this package, and it will be fine. However, of course the physical conditions are different from person to person. We can maybe replace snowmobile event to another to fit your preference more. We can note that you prefer a Spanish guide and try to arrange for you, but please note that it's not guaranteed. For departing on 1 Apr, 2023 with 2pax, the price will be 2559EUR per person.

      are you referring to a cruise? The Lapland - 10 Days Adventure does include almost everything you are looking for, except for a cruise. This will be something that adds to the length of the tour as well as to the price. May I ask what your total budget would be for such a tour?

    We would like to travel in february but we are interesting in take the tour with a spanish guide. Also, we have a daughter, she is 10 years old. She doesn't have any healthy problem so she is in condition to make this kind of tour.

      The price will remain the same with a Spanish speaking guide for the tours. If you need further information, please, do not hesitate to ask.
