Days 2.-4. Winter Activities
Husky Safari
An absolute ‘must do’ when visiting Lapland! The dogs’ excitement is infectious and as the animals fall silent on the trail, you will realize that this is the only way to see Lapland. All of our husky safaris include full instructions and are based on two people sharing a sled unless otherwise stated.
Meet the reindeer
Reindeer herding has a rich history in Northern Finland. Our "Meet the Reindeer" guided tour offers a unique glimpse into the traditional way of life of reindeer herders. During the tour, our guide will share fascinating insights about the Sámi culture and the life of reindeer. You'll have the opportunity to feed these curious animals, and they might even eat right out of your hand. The tour also includes a delightful short sleigh ride.
Gentle Snowshoeing
For those who enjoy a gentle walk through beautiful snowy surroundings, this tour is perfect. We will provide you with snowshoes (and poles if you prefer) and embark on a delightful walk around Lapland's scenic area. Along the way, our knowledgeable guide will share fascinating stories and insights about Finnish nature, making your experience both enjoyable and informative.
Snowmobile Safari
Snowmobiling in Lapland is unforgettable. First you will get familiar with the snowmobile with your guide, have full safety instructions and a driving lesson. Once everyone feels comfortable, we will head out for a small journey in the nearby surroundings.
Aurora Hunt by car
Ready for an exciting adventure? Join us for an Aurora car trip to hunt the Northern Lights! This is one of our most popular Aurora gazing activities. We'll set off in search of the Auroras, heading to our favorite camp spots if the weather is good. If the skies aren't clear, we'll drive further out to find the best viewing conditions. During the trip, our guide will serve warm drinks and snacks.
Day 5. Departure Day
After breakfast you'll have a private transfer to Ivalo Airport. It’s time to say goodbye to Saariselkä and head towards new adventures.
