Review of Rovaniemi’s sauna, ice swimming, open-fire salmon dinner, and Northern Lights outing, with practical tips on value, timing, and pickup.
“A fantastic authentic Finnish experience! Everything was perfect, the dinner was spectacular, the guides were nice. It's a pity we didn't see northern lights.”
Rovaniemi sauna and ice swimming tour with salmon dinner, hotel pickup, forest cottage, and a chance to see the Northern Lights.
“The activity was our highlight during our trip to Rovaniemi.. had an absolutely fantastic time. A visit to Finland minus a sauna trip is like having fish and chips minus the chips 😉.. our guide Pedro was fantastic and the property host as well. This is a must do experience for anyone who visits Finland. The water in the lake was near freezing and the wood fire heated sauna was just the best.”
Review of Rovaniemi’s private sauna, outdoor jacuzzi, lake setting, and Lappish dinner, with practical advice on value, timing, and who should book.
“Our tour guide, Andreas, was really friendly. My wife and I had a wonderful night enjoying the sauna, the lake view, the food, and his excellent service. We truly enjoyed our first sauna experience and are grateful to have joined such an amazing tour.”
Ride a snowmobile-pulled sleigh to Lake Inari, feed reindeer, and enjoy a fire-cooked Lappish dinner with a small local group.
“Zonder noorderlicht (wat natuurlijk nooit te garanderen is) is deze tocht wat magertjes. Het is vooral een (koude) tocht over het meer in een slee achter een sneeuwscooter gevolgd door een tussenstop in een tipi tent met vuur waarop worstje/soep/brood worden klaargemaakt en waar je de gelegenheid krijgt 2 rendieren te voeren. Daarna nog paar minuten terug met de slee naar de auto die ons terugbracht naar de beginlocatie waar we onze dikke geleende pakken konden inleveren en daarna teruggebracht werden naar ons hotel. Als totaalpakket niet slecht als aanbod, maar in de praktijk zonder noorderlicht heeft het weinig om het lijf.”
Spend an Arctic evening at Rovaniemi’s SnowHotel with a snow sauna, jacuzzi, Lappish dinner, ice rooms, and Sky Bar views.
“A new experience for the books. Worth every penny and the food was amazing!”
Review of Rovaniemi’s private glass igloo dinner, frozen-lake snow scooters, Finnish food, transfers, costs, and Northern Lights expectations.
“The igloo looked charming with all the candles, creating a cozy and magical atmosphere. The food was tasty, though nothing particularly spectacular. Overall, the experience was nice and enjoyable, but I felt it was a bit overpriced for what it offered.”
Ride a reindeer-hide sleigh to frozen Lake Inari, feed reindeer, eat by an open fire, and hunt Northern Lights from Ivalo.
“The Northern Lights tour to Lake Inari from Ivalo with Viator was a fantastic experience! Although the weather didn’t cooperate, the guides went above and beyond to make the trip memorable by taking us to visit reindeer and enjoying a delicious dinner by the lake. Highly recommended for a well-organized and enjoyable adventure!”
Explore Snowman World in Rovaniemi with ice slides, skating, snow art, and a three-course Lappish dinner in a snow restaurant.
“Really cool experience! It was a 3 course meal and just as described. I had the elk and everything was very tasty. There is an ice disco bar in the restaurant as well. They served shots in shot glasses made of ice. The snow sculptures on the walls were very impressive! I had access to Snowman world and went on the large labyrinth slide. Bundle up because it's cold!”
Review of Rovaniemi’s Arctic SnowHotel dinner, snow sauna, Finnish sauna, jacuzzi, ice drinks, transfers, menu, price, and booking tips.
“We felt that the overall experience was excellent and the Ice Hotel and snow sauna were very unique experiences. However, we were asked to be at the meeting point 1/2 hour prior to the start of the experience. That seemed somewhat excessive, but we were willing to do that to prevent any unnecessary delays. But when the bus transporting us came 15 to 20 minutes late, it meant that we had to stand out in the cold for approximately 45 minutes for absolutely no reason whatsoever. If you are going to demand punctuality from your guests, you should make sure that the transportation is punctual as well.Read more”
Ride a snowmobile sleigh across frozen Lake Inari, eat dinner in a Lappish teepee, feed reindeer, and hunt for northern lights.

Dine by a fire in a private glass igloo near Rovaniemi, ride snowmobiles on a frozen lake, and watch for the northern lights.
“What a great memorable experience! We were picked up at the agreed upon time and taken outside of the city to a wonderfully beautiful area. Dinner was fabulous and Katerina was an amazing host from our drive to the location, to preparing the delicious meal, to trying to watch for the Northern Lights hoping to get a glimpse for us to see. Although it was cloudy and the lights did not cooperate, we had a fantastic time and enjoyed riding the snowscooters around the frozen lake. I would highly recommend to anyone!”
