        Beautiful NL dancing in the sky
        Amazing amazing amazing experience! We had THE BEST time hunting for Northern Light and watching it dancing in the sky. Our tour guide, Oren, was super nice and captured best photos for us. In addition, he drove more than 100km far from Rovaniemi for NL and sent us back to hotel around 4.00am. Beyond Arctic is beyond everything; beyond time and beyond distance. Thanks Oren.

        Amazing experience
        Amazing experience with a very easy going and fun guide, Oren! We had an amazing day out in the forest, hiking in the snow, sliding down icy slopes (sitting down lol), we cooked lunch on the fire, enjoyed all the info and stories Oren shared about life in the wilderness, and admired all the incredible sceneries around us. He also took great photos and sent them via email about a week later. The return drive, overalls, crampons, packed lunch + hot beverages and photos are included in the price. Such lovely memories ❤️ I'm glad we booked with Beyond Arctic.

        Bucket list item , check
        Great Value for money you get the snowgear a warm drink and a small bag from them, you just have to get in the ven. there is possibility that they lend you a lens for a couple of camera models (those 1000+€ lenses) A quick guide to set up the cameras, to capture the northern lights. CHECK THE WEATHER BEFORE YOU GO, if its cloudy no chance to see much. Also book this trip first, if you dont see the northern lights, you can try again at a much better rate. the pictures are not enhanced, but the shutter speed was low. So they are not as green as that in real life, but one could see them very well, we were lucky 10/10

        Great Trip!
        Despite not being able to see the Northern Lights with the bare eye, we had a fantastic tour! Our guide, Juhani, took us to a frozen lake where we could observe the clear night sky and even see the Milky Way. We were able to capture the Northern Lights there with our camera. Juhani provided us with a lot of interesting information about the Northern Lights and always helped us set our camera settings correctly. We would book this tour again anytime.

        Great experience
        We had a wonderful experience with Ryan and Juhani. We were in Ryan's car and he gave us a thorough explanation of the science behind the auroras. We saw the lights almost as soon as we came to their private area near a frozen lake. They wasted no time in setting up the photography equipment and took pictures to our hearts' content. Yuhani grilled amazing sausages! Earlier in the week, we'd taken the same trip with Sarah. While we didn't see the lights on that one because of cloud cover, she made all the effort andher passion was evident. Overall, great professionals and a good experience! Also love that the company provides the necessary shoes and overalls.

        Easy and fun cross country skiing in Lapland
        Booked this tour a day in advance when I walked into their office downtown. Friendly guy who took my booking and our tour guide Oren was amazing. He helped with our skis and during the cross country skiing he made sure we were all having fun. I thought it would be hard but it was not too strenuous, you go at your own pace. The bbq and hot blueberry juice at the end of the ski was really enjoyable. Oren explained about the Finnish language, culture & showed us how to start a fire using the dry birchwood and bark. He even prepared vegan sausages (which was not expected) & a couple of people in our group was actually vegetarian/vegans. If you want to melt marshmallows pls ask in advance cos they prepare some for the kids! Highly recommend this day time activity as it’s about a 3 hour tour and really enjoyable being out in nature and exploring the Lapland country side. Thank you!

        Great experience!
        The people organising the tour were great! Good communication, quick setup with gear, hot drinks and snacks. Our guide was very friendly, tried to coordinate with other people out driving, to try and find the best spots for us. We were lucky and saw the Aurora in 2 different locations. I would definitely recommend them!

        I don’t recommend this tour
        My decision to choose this agency was driven by the reviews — most of them of Oren. However, we had no luck and the tour guy assigned showed no interest nor knowledge about the northern lights. He was nice but he never explained anything about the lights (which is expected). We went to a couple of places and after seeing the auroras (maybe two times) he took us back to Rovaniemi. The experience did not meet the expectations and I truly believe that the person you pick for this job must be passionate and knowledgeable — I would not recommend this tour.

        Santa Clause and other dreams coming true
        A worth wise trip to Rovaniemi in the end of March. Temperatures were fine, as well as a lot of daylight. Still full of snow, some wind and perfect for spending time outdoors. A lot of heart warming experience, aurora borealis, finish sauna and bathing in the icy water, huskies and rain deer sledges, and, of course, Santa Clause, an emotional meeting a character from a child's imagination.

        Best hunting guide
        We had this experience with Oren, unfortunately, due to cloudy weather we didn’t see the northern lights, however, our guide OREN took a lot of effort to entertained us all specially in our photos and made this experience one of the best night we had in Finland! We highly recommended him!

      My daughter had wanted to meet some reindeer for her birthday, and this trip did not disappoint. Sara was a very friendly and helpful guide, and the farm that Beyond Arctic chooses to use for the visit was excellent; it was good to be able to talk with the farmers directly and interact a little bit with the reindeer. The ride (in -15 degree weather) was surreal! The drive out and back was not too long, and afforded some great snowy forest scenery. Highly recommended.

      We were lucky to be sitting up the front of the van so could hear Sara's comments easily and ask questions -- but those in the back may have had a different experience. After taking a couple of these van trips with different operators, I wonder if a microphone/PA setup of some kind wouldn't be a helpful addition.

      Our guide, Maiju, was really kind. Our host into the farm was very welcoming. The place is very beautiful. À family authentic farm. After a short but very nice reindeer tour in a wonderful area, the mother welcome us in a little wooden hut for a warm moment around a fire to drink something warm and eat her so delicious selfmade crêpes and discuss about the life of the farm. A very nice moment….

      Thank you Orvi! He was very attentive to our children wth their caprice and necessary 🙂. The long way to farm was a funny and small. I ride my reindeer independent with some sentimental contact. And…. it was a total Silence all around. Nobody cry or scream. And… this silence from exterior entering in me and i take it inside of me - sweet sensation, i’m looking many years. Let’s go to catch a little myself!

      Very cold but we had good time. The scenery is beautiful! Though was hoping to get more information and introduction in the car and before we took the ride. A bit rush when arriving as we have not really prepared then we were told to sit on. And after finishing we should have more time taking pictures with Reindeers before going inside for the snack.

      What an amazing morning! It felt like we were in a Hallmark Christmas movie on a small farm in the Lapland forest. The reindeer sleigh ride was so much fun. They actually went surprisingly fast at times. The homemade crepes and berry jelly were delicious. The farm owner was friendly and explained many things to us. It was really interesting and you can feed and pet the reindeer. It was so worth it!! Thanks Raymond and the Beyond Arctic team! Definitely recommend your agency!

      We dressed in suits provided by the company then Oren drove us to reindeer farm while educating us on the history of reindeer and they are interconnected to the Sami peoples. We arrived at the reindeer farm and chose a reindeer sled and off we went on a 2km ride. The ride was picturesque and our 6 year old loved it. We then fed the reindeer and a photographer snapped pictures. We then had pancakes and hot chocolate in a kota, a very nice but before leaving. Once back in the van Oren continued to educate us. We learned so much! Oren was also funny! Thank you Oren for being such a smart and funny guide.

      Rovaniemi, Finland was absolutely wonderful in February. I would recommend using Rovaniemi, specifically Santa Claus Village (Arctic Circle) as your hub. We stayed in the cottages which were spacious and very nice. Everyone in Rovaniemi knows where Santa Claus Village is located. Some of the activities we enjoyed were half day experience at a local reindeer farm in Lapland, eating dinner in an igloo/riding snow scooters on a frozen lake, and eating dinner at the ArticSnow Hotel and Glass Igloos/Restaurant, which was an absolutely amazing experience. We stayed in a glass/heated igloo (Santa's Hotel Aurora) in Luosto (ski village), spectacular! If you're lucky you will see the Northern Lights. Excellent vantage point. We hired a driver to get us from Luosto to Rovaniemi. It was about an 1 1/2 hour ride. The airport is about 5 minutes from Santa Claus Village. Be sure and wear a good pair of boots with good traction.
