    I can't believe how magical this tour was! I can really recommend this tour to everyone - they don't promise anything and don't lie to you that you will 100% see the Aurora Lights - but they put their heart and soul into trying. Chevo is the absolute best tour guide I have ever had! On the day of my tour it was snowing and the weather conditions were bad and yet he managed to get me to see the Aurora several times. At the end of the tour the Aurora Lights danced above my head, I will never forget that. The van is also very comfortable, the tea warms you up from the inside and the snacks were super delicious. Everything is really done here to give everyone the best possible experience, THANK YOU Chevo, you can tell that you put your heart and soul into it!

    This tour was not only successful but also a truly wonderful experience - and that was mainly thanks to our guide, Vess. From the very beginning, he created a pleasant atmosphere with his friendly, humerous, and dedicated manner. It was clear that he genuinely cared about providing his guests with an unforgettable experience. On February 2, 2025, my 10 - year - old son and I were picked up on time from our hotel by Vess in a cozy van. After a short briefing ( weather conditions, tour plan), we headed to the first of three planned spots. And indeed, the aurora appeared - at first subtle, but enough for us to take a few shots with the professional camera. After that, we warmed up in the van, where Vess treated us to hot tea and delicious cookies while sharing fascinating facts about the northern lights. However, the absolute highlight of the tour was when we arrived at our second spot! We were overwhelmed with excitement as we wittnessed this magical aurora spectacle. The northern lights danced right above us, glowing in vibrant green and shimmering purple tones…A phenomenal natural display that we will never forget! Thanks to Vess, we have beautyful photos to remember this incredible aurora show. He positioned us perfectly in the scene and managed to capture us in the magical setting. The very next day, we received access to his high - quality images via a WeTransfer link. This tour was well - organized, cozy, and, most importantly, successful - definetly highly recommended!

    Well organized, the guide was excellent ,there was a lot of waiting but always something to do for the kids . There just seems to many people at the same time. There rides are very short but enough for small kids , they have longer rides available if you want . I would call this the instagram tour , you get to do everything in a few hours with plenty of picture opportunities .

    The Husky farm was about 40 minutes from Rovaniemi which made for a great experience away from all the noise and other activities. Nothing but our group and the huskies running through an amazing Finish forest, dogs were lovely and very professional, all guides and helpers were great, professional and accommodating
    This would be my no.1 Husky choice if I ever return to the area

    We had an amazing experience with Nordic Unique Travels, booked through GetYourGuide.com! The tour included an exciting 1h snowmobile safari, a charming 5-10 minute husky sled ride, and a peaceful reindeer sled experience.

    A huge thank you to Jonas and Camille, who were absolutely wonderful! They were super friendly, always smiling, and made sure everything was perfect.

    If you’re planning a trip to Lapland, I highly recommend this agency with no hesitation. It was a magical day, and we couldn’t have asked for better guides!

    The scenery and safari through the forest was so peaceful and serene. It was a long enough ride before we spent time feeding these beautiful animals. It was an amazing experience.

    The tour was amazing. The reindeer ride amazing through the woods. The guide was very informative and the driver was so accommodating. We had a 9 and 14 year old with us and everyone agreed we would do that again.

    From the moment we booked the tour, Matias was extremely helpful and professional. During the tour, he drove for hours trying to find the best spot for us to see the Northern Lights. Thanks to his and Elis's effort and expertise we were able to see the Northern Lights, even though the weather was not on our side. It was an incredible experience and they took amazing pictures for us! We couldn’t ask for more I highly recommend it!!

    We had an amazing experience!! We were very lucky because we were alone with our super friendly guide Jaume. It was one of the best nights I've ever had! We saw the Northern Lights right at the beginning of our more than 3 hour drive through the snowy forest - MAGICAL!!!!

    This was a really cool activity to do, I do wish there were some things we know before we signed up. We were staying at Vaattunki resort which is a little out of town. Our meet time was 6:15. We drove to city office of Safartika (stopping at Santa village for a pickup) and then had to wait about 30 mins for a bus to arrive to take us and the other 27 people booked on the trip. Apparently this trip is sold out every day. We left office at 7:30 for our 30 min ride to the lake. We were then split into two groups. We were in the first group who changed and floated. Getting in and out of the lake is a little precarious as there is only 1 guide suited for the float. We had about 6 children in our group and it is quite a scary feeling getting in the cold dark water. One of the kids panicked and started splashing and kicking around. As you cannot really move your head left to right without really lifting your head, I imagine the parent of this child would have also panicked. We floated for about 30 mins and at that point I would’ve been happy to leave, however we had to then wait in the tepee for the next group to go through the whole experience. We finally got back after dropping many off along the way at 11:30pm. This is a good experience but could be streamlined by Safartika. Northern lights were visible through iPhone this night but you couldn’t really be able to see from the water as it’s too hard to keep your head up. It’s also hard to get photos. One woman in our group gave the camera to the guide and we airdropped after the event.

    We booked a 1 hour experience with our 2 kids. We expected it to be my husband and I on a snowmobile with our kids on behind us. Instead the instructor had the kids on a little sleigh to the back of his snowmobile with blankets to keep the kids warm. This meant mum and dad could then learn to drive the snowmobile whilst the kids watched us. Afterwards the kids then got a go on the mini snowmobiles which they both loved. Highly recommend.

    Do not recommend this tour as the company takes you on a large bus to 2 spots which are just 15min from the city center ...not in a secluded area. There are no guides ... just ushers who accompany the bus... The first stop was near some lake where you wait for 20min and then they hurry to the bus to take you to the raindeer and husky farm which is all lit up ... they light a fire, give you marshmellows .. wait another 20mins and then we are off. Recommend you pick a small group provite tour, where the guides explain stuff and they are interested and make an effort for people to see the northern lights. Also a better way to see and experience the northern lights is to book on the glass igloos ... thats where we saw the lights

    Fantastic experience.
    Great food and amazing snowmobile ride.
    Slightly rushed and wasn’t explained what was happening, the lights weren’t forecast (which of course can’t be controlled) but think it changed the experience and that wasn’t communicated.
    Snow mobiles for kids was listed but wasn’t offered.

    Candles are around the igloo and my mums jacket set on fire, terrible accident but one to consider when sitting with lots of candles around.

    Would recommend for sure.

    We did a Reindeer tour with Pasquale and his friends on 22-Feb-24. Was fantastic, and I totally recommend it. It was friendly and unhurried, and a really magical and memorable experience in the beautiful countryside. the first thing we noticed on the tour was how well the animals were treated, and the wonderful harmony between the humans and the Reindeer - with each respecting and evidently liking the other. Pasquale gave us a detailed explanation of how the Reindeer live, and the symbiotic relationship between humans and Reindeer, which has thrived for centuries, with each benefitting from the other. Then we had a ride in a Reindeer sleigh, with an obviously happy and friendly Reindeer pulling us along, (the Reindeer chose the pace, and we trotted along very nicely - no controls from the driver - the Reindeer just trot along as they fancy). These are wild reindeer - these aren't domesticated animals - and all Summer, they live completely free and wild, and only in the winter season do they interact with humans; so these are properly wild animals, and yet they are relaxed and comfortable in the presence of humans - that is really really nice to see - and probably that is the most memorable part of the tour. Then after the rides, we all sat in a lovely cosy hut around a roaring natural-wood fire, and drank delicious hot berry-juice, with traditional spicey biscuits - which were really lovely, and we learned more about the history and practices of the Reindeer - and how the humans interact with them and protect them from predators - no hurry, and all super-interesting. After all the questions were done, there was plenty of time to finish off our drinks and snack, and no rush, and we all trotted off and were driven back to the starting point at the end of the tour. Super memorable, and super lovely.

    Before the tour, I was a little anxious in case the Reindeer were not nicely treated, but I needn't have worried - it was super-lovely to see how well the humans and animals interacted - if only we could find a way for other species of animals to be so well-treated as these ones. Obviously I am not so naive as to realise that many of the Reindeer will eventually be slaughtered for meat - and I'm a vegetarian, so don't like the idea of that AT ALL - however if you are going to have animals which will eventually become "meat", then this is the way that they should be treated - kindly, nicely, and with respect, and other types of animal-husbandry could really learn lessons from the Finns and how they interact with these beautiful, gentle, and graceful Reindeer.

    So if you are thinking of a tour - BOOK WITH THESE GUYS, because it is really lovely. Pasquale is a great ambassador for this company, and the more people select tours with these guys, the more it will help people like Pasquale to work with these graceful and lovely animals !
