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.

    5 star experience in every way
    One of the best experiences we’ve ever had! The sauna, hot tub, ice bathing and fire grilled reindeer were all amazing. Kimmo was the perfect host and made sure to look out for the Northern Lights while we were enjoying the activities. He also took incredible photos of the whole evening, sharing them before he went to sleep at 2 am (!!) so we would have them right away. Could not recommend this experience more.

    Amazing Aurora Journey With Info Lapland Welcome
    I booked the 1 evening Aurora experience in Lapland, what an amazing adventure!! The activities are organized in small groups, which is a must when visiting such a surprising spot. They take brilliant care of their clients by offering no matter what warm overalls, boots or hat and gloves ,and also delicious BBQ by tour guide.
    All guides were super friendly, close, kind and great professionals, they know the magic of Lapland as the back of their hand! Especially thanks to my guide Kamila , who is very helping for any request , and she helped me taking wonderful pictures as much as I need, also she is very adventurous guide. I really had a good time with her tour journey. Hence, I strongly recommend the company Info Lapland Welcome!!

    Rafting with 5 persons
    We did the rafting on May and everything went really fine. The instructor was very informative and observant. We had a blast beginning to our bachelor party. Huge thanks to Sakke and the crew.

    Wonderful Northern Light
    Helena took us in a amazing spot in the middle of the woods and alongside a magical lake, lightened by the moon and the snow.
    We had the chance to catch the Northen Light and this made me an unforgettable night!
    Thank you Helena :)

    Authentic experience for the whole family
    We stayed at Happy Fox Villas for 6 nights and had several activities with the team of Happy Fox. We felt home and enjoyed the company of Kristina and Mikka. If want to stay at a more remote and quiet place outside of the touristic centre of Rovaniemi, and if you want an authentic experience rather than a big group thing organized by a big safari company, then this is the right place. Our kids, age 12, 10 and 8 enjoyed their freedom to run around outdoors and play in the snow. You can stroll down to the lake nearby, do some sledging or simply enjoy the scenery. We followed the snow sculpting workshop, the family fun activity, sauna+dinner as well as the handicraft workshop. It was all worth it. We would recommend to anybody is not looking for a touristic show but an authentic Lappland feel.

    One of the best nights of our lives
    We did the Traditional Lappish Evening. And it was exactly what the title says. What can i say about this experience...words are not enough.
    We booked the activity on 6.2.2020 me and my girlfriend and we were the only ones that night. Our guides were Juho and Minttu (boy and girl). They were the kindest Fins we met during our trip to lapland. Juho was also very funny and talkative which made the evening even better.
    They picked us up from our hotel and we drove to a lake house in the middle of the forest in a very beautiful location. They opened a fire inside a traditional lappish tent where they cooked for us some snacks and sausages and hot chocolate while we were waiting for the YURT sauna to heat up. Afte we ate our snacks thay gave us some "shoes" that you can walk more easily in the snow and we went to the lake were you are supposed to dive in the cold water.
    When the sauna was ready they took us to it and they provided with towels and instructions on how to operate the sauna. Everything was so organized and clean. We enjoyed the sauna very much. This traditional outdoors sauna is way better than the ones at your local gym, trust me. While we were sweating like pigs inside the sauna :P our guides were preparing the equipment in the frozen lake because i was going to attempt to dive. And i totaly did it (even though i could only last for 5 seconds). They also filmed the whole process with our camera.
    After i finished my girlfriend also decided to do the frozen lake dive and i wanted to try it again (that is how much i enjoyed it). Even though they had already removed the equipment from the lake they were once again very kind and agreed to set it up again for us.
    After the sauna and the lake thay cooked for us a delicious dinner with salmon, a traditional baked potato mash with a lappish sauce, a traditional lappish salad and some other stuff. Everything was perfect and so yummy that i could not stop eating (i filled up my plate twice). Also we want the receipe please :P
    But the best part of the evening came at the end. 10 minutes before we were leaving the Northern lights appeared in the sky. It was the most magical thing i have seen with my eyes. The lights were so bright that night and due to the location of the cabin (away from the city) they were even brighter. We were extremely lucky that we booked our activity that night and as Juho told us they were the brighter lights he had seen all year. The guys were once again very kind to us that they stayed overtime (even though our activity time had finished) so that we could all enjoy the northern lights as much as we could and take many many photos.
    To sum up, if you want to experience something unique and traditional this is definitely the activity you should book, no doubt. Even if you are not lucky enough as we were to see the lights everything else is going to be perfect, the snacks, the sauna, the frozen lake, the delicious dinner and most of all you will have a great time with very good company that are definitely going to make you feel special.

    Wonderful Snowshoe Experience
    I feel bad to be so slow in publishing this review because Kriistina was absolutely fantastic. I can’t recommend her highly enough. She was a great communicator, telling me everything I needed to know before the trip, and even giving me advice about other activities and restaurants in the area. She was very flexible: I was booking as a solo traveller and she arranged the timing to suit other activities I was doing.

    I had a great time on the tour. I found the snowshoes very easy to use, even though I had had only very limited past experience with them. They were easy to pick up. Kriistina was very safety conscious, warned me of a patch of slippery ice, etc, and I felt secure and confident walking up and down hills and through the forest. We went through incredible locations, off the beaten track, and didn’t see many other people. We stopped for a campfire, cooked sausages, flat bread with cheese and hot chocolate. Very tasty! Kriistina and I got on really well together and had great chats. She told me interesting information about the forest, lichen and trees, and showed me wild reindeer tracks. We saw a woodpecker in the wild — really cool! Actual date of experience was 31st of March 2019.

    Finland fishing on ice
    It was cold and dark at around 5pm. Experience fishing on ice is my first time. Temperature during winter in Rovaniemi was -20 at least. If you book with the optional tour they will have proper outfit for you, otherwise tight head mask covered to nect a must. Optional tour may provide all necessary equipments. Remember to walk slowly step by step on the ice as you manage your way out further for your fishing spot. Remind the kids not to run as certain part of ice maybe thin.
    We did not catch any fish as most of us could not withstand the cold. We simply took some pictures and learn to drill the hold on ice and tried to fish for a while. Total time spent around 30 mins and quickly walk back to land.
