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.

    Incredible snowmobile and ice fishing tour in Rovaniemi
    I would highly recommend this snowmobile and ice fishing tour to anyone visiting Rovaniemi. Our guide was not only knowledgeable and fun, but also made the entire experience unforgettable with the breathtaking scenery and exhilarating ride through the beautiful Finnish wilderness.

    Brilliant experience, could not recommend more!
    Brilliant tour with guide Santi. The views were well worth the trek down and back out of the canyon. Santi was very knowledgeable and engaging during the whole tour. His bag seemed to be never-ending with the amount of supplies he managed to fit in. They try to accommodate dietary requirements when informed about them which is great. Need to wear good, comfortable shoes especially when the winter season is still present as the icy hills are quite hard to manage and we were all provided with spikes for our shoes to help manage these hills which were greatly appreciated. Numerous opportunities for lovely photos along the trail and Santi was more than willing to get the best photos possible for us. Honestly, a brilliant experience and would recommend anyone who can manage a moderate-difficulty walk with a lot of hills up and down throughout the whole trail.

    Brilliant experience, could not recommend more!
    Recently went on this tour with guide Gabor. It was a great experience, honestly could not recommend it more! Gabor was very friendly and knowledgeable about the northern lights and the best locations to increase your chance of seeing them. The locations are beautiful and well worth the walk to them, it was an experience of its own to get to the location as the snow was starting to get soft in places and we found all the pockets in the snow to sink into so the snow boots provided were well needed. Obviously, they cannot guarantee that you will see them and we were lucky enough to get a small, beautiful show! They really make the most out of the experience as they also have locations with teepees and fires for warmth when waiting in locations for the lights, and they provide Finnish-style barbeque food to try which is a lovely treat to go with tea or hot chocolate. Honestly, a brilliant experience and thank you to WildAboutLapland and guide Gabor for a great experience!

    Fantastic unforgettable experience!
    We are so amazed!
    We were picked up and then drove around 50min outside of Rovaniemi.
    Laura was our guide for that day, and she was absolutely fantastic. She shared some stories and interesting facts during our trip. Great sense of humour and very kind!
    We were very lucky to see northern lights, they appeared for ~20 min and then gone for another hour or so. But on our way back Laura stopped the van and let us see the lights that re-appeared. We have stunning photos, which she was kind to take for us. We will definitely use this company again!

    Northern Lights tour and campfire
    One of the best experiences in my life! The tour guides were so friendly and TRULY cared about giving us the best experience. They made sure we not only saw the northern lights and were able to take photos, but most importantly, they made sure we had fun! The campfire and barbecue was almost as amazing as seeing the northern lights. I could not recommend this tour more!

    Unforgettable experience
    A wonderful scenic location in the middle of the forest next to a beautiful lake. Authentic Finnish sauna, which we stoked up to 110 degrees with real birch wood, followed by a dip in the ice-hole and rolling in the snow. It was both exhilarating and relaxing experience at the same time. After two-hour sauna session we were welcomed in the guesthouse by the hostess who fire-grilled some salmon for us. The traditional Lappish lunch was simple but scrumptious. The host was knowledgeable and friendly. Overall, an unforgettable experience. The only regret was that we had to leave.

    Fun mix of activities delivered as promised
    This was a fun experience. Read carefully what you will be doing and gauge your expectations. The husky ride is very short but fun. I would have liked a little longer ride but certainly not an hour. The reindeer ride is a walk with a herder. Everyone is very nice. The snowmobile ride was fun and adjusted for the crowd. There were only three of us. All middle aged adults so we went fast and far. Our guide Erick a was very nice. It was cold, cold, cold so using their snowmobile suits was a huge help. You could book these items separately and get exactly what you want interns of length of rides. This worked for us. Great having a small group.

    Guides know where to find the animals
    We knew we were visiting in low season but it was a treat to basically get a private tour of the park! Our guide was knowledgeable and knew where to spot the animals. Lunch was great. Transportation was comfortable. It was an all around good experience.
