- BestRegards FromFarCape Town Central, South Africa366 contributionsWe visited in fall and the fall colours were absolutely gorgeous. We mountain biked for a full day and it proved a great way to explore the beautiful nature!Written 23 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Tom O.Munich, Germany230 contributionsWe visited the reindeer farm by snow mobile, which was a fun way to travel. The animals were docile, and there was a short ride around an enclosed track. It was an interesting thing to do - once. There was a short cultural talk over hot drinks and snacks, which was focused on the traditions of the Sami people and local flora and fauna. Would be great for kids.Written 28 February 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

- wendyoliverOkehampton, UK44 contributionsToday we took the 5 euro ski bus from Saariselka to Kiilopaa. Beautiful bus journey through a winter wonderland. Bus dropped us right by the start of the Ruijanpolku Trail where there are several information boards giving details of winter walking, snow shoe and cross country ski routes. You can hire equipment from the hotel next to the trail, there is also a campsite and hostel. We decided to walk the 7.5 km snow shoe route up to the top of the fell at 500 plus meters, hardwork in the snow but the views from the top are definitely worth it. We followed a clear marked route all the way back to the fell hotel and then enjoyed the smoke sauna and a dip in the ice plunge pool a fantastic day out.Written 28 February 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Blur520Greater London, UK8 contributionsArctic Timetravels could not have been more friendly, professional or helpful. We spent a magical night hunting for the aurora around Ivalo and Inari, experiencing the extreme beauty and silence of Lapland winter. Karolina was a perfect guide and her knowledge and enthusiasm made it a night we will always remember. They had suggested moving our tour to a day which they thought would give us a better chance of seeing the lights. We were so glad they did since we saw fantastic displays of the northern lights at each location we visited. Arctic Timetravels certainly lives up to its good reputation.Written 4 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

Maria helpt me excellent with the excursions. We had some special wishes and that was no problem. We made several excursions. We went on a Husky tour. Because this wasn't our first time to lapland we already been on 2 husky tours. This one was one of the best. Andrey, our guide from Polar Creek, is a very kind person. So easy to get along with..
We also book the ice fishing trip. Andrey took us to a lake and provided us with a fishing rod. While we were fishing, he made sausages on an open fire. Also very nice.
We also went on the chasing aurora trip. And YES we saw the northern lights. Andrey took beautiful pictures of our group with the northern lights. So yes I really would recommend this company. it's a small company, what we prefer, and they are very kind.Written 10 March 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Kirsi E1 contributionExcellent service in rental.
