★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 940 reviews · 4.5 hours · from $281Our pick

Rovaniemi’s half-day Arctic combo pairs husky and reindeer sleigh rides with a one-hour snowmobile safari.

“There was 4 of us that booked all 3 activities with the option of private pick up, 2 people in our group were elderly. Pick up worked well for us as we stayed just outside city centre. The 2 tour guides were excellent, chatting & putting us at ease. Making sure our experience felt special & informed us of what to expect throughout the morning. No matter what price you pay, if the staff are helpful it goes along way, so we really appreciated that, thanks boys. The activities were long enough for us, got to experience everything hassle free.”

“This was one of the best experiences I've ever had! We were a very small group which made it very personal and our tour guide Anabella was extremely friendly and helpful. The reindeer farmer Jarrko was also very friendly and knowledgeable! He gave us an extra reindeer sleigh round as the weather was good, told us all about Sami people and their culture as well as how he hunts in the wild! We were given cookies and berry juice at a cozy lodge in the middle of a snowy forest and were allowed to hold and touch real reindeer antlers! We very much recommend doing this activity with this company!Read…”

Ride a reindeer sleigh through Rovaniemi’s snowy forest, then warm up in a wooden kota with berry juice, cookies, and local stories.

“We - three adults and one child - really enjoyed the tour. We were divided into two sledges, two of us each, and we must have spent at least 40 minutes in the sledges. Afterwards, we were allowed to warm up with hot drinks and cinnamon buns and were given lots of information about the farm and the reindeers and even a reindeer driving license at the end - which was particularly popular with the children. Afterwards we were even allowed to have a look at the farm and how the animals are fed. All in all, definitely recommended!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 96 reviews · 2 hours · from $116

Chase the Northern Lights from a snowmobile-pulled sledge in Levi, with Arctic wilderness, warm drinks, thermal gear, and a late-night ride.

“This tour was well communicated prior to leaving. Unfortunately, the weather was extremely cold and therefore it was adapted to help the children in the extreme -45 cold which meant hunting for the lights in the van, not the sled. Kids loved the marshmallows. Adults loved the guides knowledge about the northern lights. All loved holding the hot juice in the freezing temps. No lights but it was full moon and can’t be helped.”
