Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What an incredible experience. The whole experience from start to finish was brilliant. We received a very detailed email outlining the weather forecast and the chances of seeing the lights. It was 50/50 so we decided to risk it. Our guides, Léo accompanied by Antoine, were outstanding. Explaining everything that we would be doing and they were tireless in their efforts to get us to see the lights.
Initially we only got a very small display, but a fire was set up (in the middle of a frozen lake) with some snacks for us whilst we waited. I was really pleased that there was a vegetarian option and Léo was thoughtful enough to not let this be contaminated with the sausages that others were cooking nearby. Then suddenly we were putting our food aside as the lights came to life. Léo was amazing here, directing us quickly so everyone in the group got some beautiful shots.
I really cannot recommend this experience enough, and if you get Léo or Antoine as your guides you're in for a treat. They were knowledgeable, enthusiastic and their passion for their work really shone through. Léo's explanation of the phenomenal of the lights at the end of the night was particularly well done.
Thank you again for a genuinely unforgettable experience!

We had an awesome daytrip with Chris at the reindeer farm and afterwards at the husky farm. Chris (out guide) gave us lots of information beforehand. We felt that he really wanted to make the most out of it and to make this trip special to us.
Boths farms (reindeer and husky) were super authentic, the families who owned it explained everything, we got to feed the reindeers, had a lovely campfire and a delicious lunch meal (salmon soup). We've done two other trips in Lapland with different tour operators (unfortunately the one with Nordic Odyssee was the last one) and we definitely have to say this was the best trip of all in terms of organization, "family feeling", no rush at any time and just enjoying the beauty of Lapland. When being in Rovaniemi you should check out the agency. We definitely can recommend it :))
Thanks again and best regards

We had the most wonderful time with our guide Adrien. We learned so many things about Lapland and the life there thanks to him. Even though the auroras weren’t as powerful as we would have wanted them to be, the experience itself was completely worth it! We would 100% recommend the Northern Lights photography hunting trip.

Great Tour!
Great guide and the route was not too difficult. Easy enough for beginners, but at no time boring. The scenery is beautiful!

We recently went on a canoe trip with my friends in Rovaniemi and it was an amazing experience!!
We met at the meeting point and our guide drove us near the river. The equipment was in very good condition.
Our guide, Chris, was very nice and helpful and also very knowledgeable on the area. It was our first time kayaking but Chris taught us very well and we quickly got used to it. Chris was also very thoughtful and got us refreshments while we rested on the beach. Kayaking through the beautiful river with such a stunning scenery was an unforgettable experience.
This was an amazing way to experience the serene beauty of the nature in Rovaniemi
I highly recommend this trip!

During my trip to Rovaniemi, we decided to do a canoeing tour around Rovaniemi's river with Nordic Odyssey despite having absolutely no canoeing/boating experience whatsoever.
We had an amazing and unforgettable experience! Our guide, Chris was absolutely fantastic! He was very friendly and very knowledgeable about the area - the river and surrounding nature was very serene and calming. Chris also was very patient and accommodating considering our lack of experience with canoeing and taught us very well.
I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to enjoy the beautiful nature surrounding the river of Rovaniemi whilst paddling - no previous canoeing experience needed!

One of the most unmissable activities in Rovaniemi. Went canoeing for the very first time with a group of friends, all of whom were complete beginners. We were greeted by Chris, our guide, who helped us feel comfortable, giving us clear and simple instructions and taking all necessary safety precautions. He was also very helpful both throughout the canoeing activity and afterwards, with useful tips on how to get the most from Rovaniemi. The activity itself was amazing. It is very safe, even for beginners, and the view along the river was breathtaking. The sounds of nature and the wonderful colours of ‘ruska’ were the perfect setting for a relaxing trip while enjoying the adventurous nature of canoeing. Chris was also thoughtful enough to prepare a few refreshments, which we enjoyed while resting on a beach. I very highly recommend this tour with Nordic Odyssey to anyone visiting Rovaniemi outside of the winter season.
