Day 2-7. Activities

Snowmobile Adventure

This day is all about the local winter fun – snowmobiling in the wilderness! Guide will teach you how to cope with these powerful machines, and after a full safety and driving lesson you will head out to the wilderness. Snowmobiling through white winter scenery is a breathtaking experience that will last for a lifetime. During the day, there will be a tasty outdoor lunch by the open fire.

Meet The Reindeer

Meeting a local reindeer herder with his peaceful reindeer is one of the top memories for our visitors. At the reindeer farm you will learn interesting information about the reindeer and the life of a reindeer herder. This guided trip will be done by car.

Husky Safari

Husky safari is a ‘must do’ experience when visiting Lapland. You will be taught how to handle the sled before you head out for the husky safari, where the huskies will pull your sled through the beautiful winter scenery. Enjoy the excitement of the dogs before the start, and the serene silence once they get to do what they love – run in the snowy scenery. The musher will also show you around the husky farm during your visit.

All our husky safaris are based on two people sharing a sled(unless otherwise stated). First one guest is mushing and the other one is sitting in the sleigh. Positions will be changed halfway.

Snowshoeing Adventure

Snowshoeing in the Winter Wonderland is something to really enjoy! Quietness of the woods and white snow around you gives you a magical feeling you’ll never forget. During the trip, the guide will share interesting stories and information about Finnish nature and animals. On the way, we will stop to enjoy lunch and warm drinks by the open fire. This trip is perfect for photographers and nature lovers, as snowshoeing is a true eco-activity!

Visit to Siida museum and nature center

Siida museum is located in Inari village. During this guided trip you will get familiar with the rich and varied history of the Sámi people and their role in modern day Lapland as well as Northern Lapland’s nature. There is also a wonderful gift shop selling handmade products to take back home as souvenirs or presents.

Ice-Fishing trip with snowmobile sleigh

Ice fishing done in traditional Finnish way; does it get any better? Spend the day outdoors and learn how the fishing during winter is done. You will learn interesting facts about the life up in the North. We will have a nice snowmobile sleigh ride to the best ice fishing spots. Our guide will teach us how to make some holes through the ice, and then we try and see who the best fisher is. Day includes a tasty lunch by open fire.

Aurora Snowshoeing

Experience the amazing atmosphere of old forests on this relaxing snowshoe walk to the aurora camp spot. Walking in the dark forests companied by the light of the moon and dance of the northern lights is unforgettable. Warm up by the campfire and wait for the auroras to show up, while warm drinks are prepared on the open fire.

Aurora Camp

This trip takes you to one of our specifically chosen camp spots, where we will try to catch the northern lights. You will be comfortably seated in a sledge, pulled by a guide’s snowmobile. We will have open fire and warm drinks while waiting for the sky to show its magic.
