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.

Beautiful trip in the forest north of Kemi. We crossed a lake twice, which allowed for a hint of speed as cherry on the cake. Very nice, attentionate and welcoming guide, respectful of the amazing nature around us - and of life in general. Well-kept snowmobiles and gear; we felt safe. 100% will do it again. 100% true to the advertising.

The guide was excellent and very good but they appear to go to the same place on this tour as that is where they have their tepee unlike other tours where we were chasing the NL. so if the NL aren't visible from that location then that's it for the night. As the guide was on his own he had to spend the time lighting the fire and preparing the food while we were outside trying to see if there was any activity so not ideal. I don't blame the guide in any way as he was very nice and helpful. I think the company are happy to take your money even if there is no chance of seeing the NL.

We have 5 check points on our northern lights tour of which the 3rd one is the best site in Rovaniemi area (only one on the mountain) for following the northern lights. Seeing northern lights is up to luck but this tour is the best chance to see the lights in Rovaniemi, and in very impressive surroundings far from city lights.

It was a magical experience meeting Santa and crossing the Arctic Circle. The best part of it was our guide, Reetta. She is an amazing human being. She's very friendly and a genuine soul. She definitely added to the wonderful experience we had. It was like touring the magical land with a kind fairy.

It was one of the most beautiful drives and hikes I’ve ever had, the scenery was surreal. Our guide Gordy (from Barcelona) was super friendly and gave us great care and attention the whole way. I would do this trip again and again. Thank you Lapland Welcome for this wonderful experience!

this tour was a beautiful experience, and luckily we saw the northern lights , even if not 100% perfect. the guide David, and his colleague were good in the instructions, in guiding us through the forest and the frozen lake. it takes energy, and a bit of strength to drive the snowmobile, but it is an experience that I recommend.we started on time, after having the thermal clothes. and in reality the tour lasted longer than expected. excellent organization of the staff...we started on time,after having the thermal clothes.and actually the tour lasted longer than expected.excellent organization of the staff.congratulations

After a pick up from our hotel, our guide for the day, Reeta, took us to the main office to make sure we had all the equipment and clothing we would need for the day. We were very fortunate to be the only ones on the excursion and Reeta couldn't have looked after us better. She drove us to the nearby track and after a quick introduction we were off into the beautiful forest. We had a slight issue with ski poles which Reeta quickly addressed and put right. Reeta also checked in with us all at regular intervals as we all have different fitness levels and happily took photos and videos for us throughout the day. We stopped for lunch in the middle of the forest at a firepit where we had a huge range of food (meat and vegetarian) to try. This was accompanied by delicious hot berry juice or tea. After we were all well fed we continued on the track back to the minibus. We were a little concerned fitness wise how we would cope with a full day, but Reeta allowed us to go at our own pace and it is certainly an activity we look forward to doing again in the future. An unforgettable day with some great pictures and videos.

We were collected from our hotel by Emil who took us to the main office to make sure we had the appropriate clothing and equipment for the day. We were incredibly fortunate to be the only ones on the trip. Emil then took us to collect the snowmobile sleigh and our 14 yr old was able to sit behind him on the snowmobile whilst we huddled under reindeer skins in the sleigh. Our first stop was to Raitola reindeer and husky farm. We had a short wait until our reindeer ride, but Emil was very knowledgable and easy to talk to so the time passed very quickly. Emil even offered to be our photographer and bag holder throughout the day. Although we all enjoyed it, the reindeer ride was very quick. The warm juice and cake afterwards was very welcome as we listened to information about the reindeer and had any questions answered. Then it was a short walk to the husky farm. An amazing experience as we were all allowed to drive the husky sleigh over the 10km trip. Again afterwards warm juice and biscuit were offered as we listened to a talk about the huskies. Back to the snowmobile and Emil took us to a teepee in the middle of the forest where we had a huge range of food, juice and tea cooked over a campfire (plenty for meat eaters and/or vegetarians). After dropping the sleigh , clothing and equipment off we then were taken back to our hotel. An unforgettable experience that we would definitely recommend.

Not very friendly in the office, bad recommendations about the northern lights forecast, guide too positive about tour especially without seeing northern lights.

Northern Lights are out of human control but we have got the best site for following them. The micro climate on our site is exceptional, we have seen northern lights hundreds of times in cloudy nights while it is fully cloudy elsewhere. The fact that the sky opens easily on our location comes from the geography of the area. The highest peaks of southern Lapland are nearby and it affects to the cloudness a lot. There is almost always a chance to see northern lights but indeed, it is out of control. It is worth trying once you are here!

Hi, I was wondering with daily activities that you went on were you put with groups of other people who might have booked just day-only tours through Welcome Lapland? For example when you were looking for the Northern lights- were you with a group of other people on a bus or was it more individual ? Thanks

We were on a large coach with many other people! but very well organised, not much waiting around. Not much time at each place though, however they are happy to let you stay and get a taxi back.

In fact the northern lights are already visible from late aug to late march. Many people assume Nov or Dec to be the best time. Perhaps due to the long night with less light pollution. However winter u have alot more activities to do like dog sledding n snow mobile n ice fishing. To see the NL u need luck, high activity , no cloud n during the new moon period. Good luck!

Hi, did you take these pics or did they? Reason Im asking is to find out if you brought your own camera equipment or if they provided any assistance. Thanks.

Hi! I was inveited to attend a meeting in Helsinki on 22-26 Oktober. I am thinking about to go to Rovaniemi from 26-28th, maybe taking the Santa Claus Express (my flight back is 29th). I saw that Lapland Welcome is very well evaluated at Trip Advisor. Are there some excursions that I can do on these two days? I really would like to see the lights... Thanks!

May I ask if your company will be able to provide tripods, as i did not bring one with me?. I'm arriving Rovaniemi this Tuesday afternoon and plan to enrol for a northern lights tour (several hour long one but nothing overnight) the same evening. Thanks
