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 travellers are saying
- Jules BOrmskirk, UK225 contributionsWe took a drive down from Rovaniemi which took just over an hour. Easy to find.
We only saw two other couples on the entire 3.5km trail - if was a cold day with snow around which perhaps puts the locals off visiting. The cafe was closed.
The trail is very well marked and once you are away from the force of the dam and former log chute, there are literally no sounds other than nature to disturb.
An inquisitive reindeer followed us for a while but given it was winter the rest of nature was keeping warm elsewhere.
There are a few steps up and down and as it was slippery underfoot we covered the route in a steady 2.5 hours.
A lovely way to take in the fresh air and see some of Finland’s natural beauty.Written 13 November 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Our coach, Tilda was absolutely amazing and is a wonderful teacher - I cannot wait to see her again one day! I loved the relaxed atmosphere of the resort (compared to other Alpine, etc. resorts where it is all a bit too much of everything) - everyone was very welcoming and friendly! Susanna - our final day coach was also great and was amazing at guiding me at the next level slope! I honestly cannot wait to go back! Thank you for such an amazing time!Written 14 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Christian WGraz, Austria80 contributionsAmazing and very impressive view over Finland and rovaniemi if you have a sunny day.

- TomerrrMaale Adumim4 contributionsme, my wife and our 10 years old kid did a snow mobile ride to lake Alaselka, we had a barbeque and ice fishing. Our guide was Alex Gamez, Alex was very nice and drove safely all the way. We had time to take pictures and even managed to catch a fish (we released him back to the lake).
Alex was very nice and patient, we enjoyed the tour very much.Written 14 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

He really gave us value for money! In the beginning a littlebit ‘shy’ but after seeing we were enthusiastic and were not really the slow types je opened up and showed us a great time. Great job Rasmus! And to Artic Lifestyle: ‘ hang on to this guy!’Written 26 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Nina3 contributionsIt was just as we had imagined. There were Christmas decorations everywhere and the staff were dressed as elves.
Anaïs was great. She showed us everything, we could ask many questions and everything was answered.
Highly recommended.
In May are no tourist so we had more or less the whole village to ourselves. Santa Claus took his time and we are allowed to talk to him.
Unfortunately, the reindeer were not there. They were released into the wild.Written 21 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Our guide Robin was WONDERFUL! Robin is a local native, had sharp eyes for Aurora, and knew his way around. He took us to his "spot", and we saw the most amazing Aurora! What an experience! Robin was fun and polite, great with our kids too! I couldn't have asked for a better experience!
The photos were taken with just my phone, we looking forward to the photos Robin took of us and the Aurora.Written 21 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Absolutely worth it to have a guide with you and have someone to take professional photos. We will remember this night forever and would highly recommend Beyond Aritic to anyone.Written 19 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Francisco Manue... PSão Miguel, Portugal7 contributionsIf you are looking to really feel unbelievable experiences that can only be performed in Lapland, this is your company! Run away from crowded "safaris" / "trips" / "Excursions" and book all of them in this company where you have a more personalized trip with a great guide ( Igor), adding much more value to your trip. The trips we booked with his company were amazing and his company increased, even more, the experience. Thanks to him and Feelapland to make this trip unbelievable, being so concerned about the environment, and animals, and having human values. I will strongly recommend booking your tours here! Thanks, Igor and Feelaplan!Written 6 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
