Rovaniemi evening sauna and ice swim with smoked salmon dinner and a shot at the Northern Lights from a 5pm departure.
“Ensure you understand the full procedure of understanding the time to spend in the sauna inorder to feel brave to plunge into the lake. Food excellent. Guides fantastic (I wish I could remember the name of the guide).”
Rovaniemi sauna meets Arctic ice swimming, then a cozy fire-cooked salmon dinner, with a Northern Lights chance on select winter nights.
“Had a great time, would definitely recommend! We were super lucky and saw the northern lights on the way home, our guide stopped on the road and we took lots of pictures. The dinner was lovely and salmon was delicious. We jumped in the icy lake twice and ran into the sauna after. Met lovely…”
Private Finnish sauna, hot outdoor jacuzzi, and a Lapland cottage dinner in Rovaniemi, with pickup and an English guide.
“Hosts were excellent they looked after us well, we would’ve liking a little more time in the sauna and chacuzzi and maybe time for eating food too but overall it was great service and they looked after us well”
Sleigh ride on frozen Lake Inari, reindeer feeding, and a fire-cooked 3-course Lappish dinner in Ivalo, chasing the Northern Lights.

Het is vooral een (koude) tocht over het meer in een slee achter een sneeuwscooter gevolgd door een tussenstop in een tipi tent met vuur waarop worstje/soep/brood worden klaargemaakt en waar je de gelegenheid krijgt 2 rendieren te voeren. Daarna nog paar…”

Private glass igloo dinner in Rovaniemi with fire-cooked three courses, snow-scooter northern lights hunt, and guided pickup.

4-hour Northern Lights hunt from Ivalo to Lake Inari with a snow-sleigh ride, island dinner by fire, and reindeer time in a small group.
“Maksim is a lovely and kind guide who took care of our group of 8 very well. We received proper warm clothing, shoes and gloves and off we went to Lake Inari on a snowmobile safari which was a fabulous experience. Dinner was provided in a local island hut with fire and hot drinks, after…”
Enter Snowman World at Santa Claus Village in Rovaniemi, then enjoy a snow-built 3-course dinner plus ice bar time in 2 hours.

Rovaniemi ice dinner with SnowHotel tour, snow sauna and outdoor jacuzzi, plus sledding time and a 3-course meal.
“We felt that the overall experience was excellent and the Ice Hotel and snow sauna were very unique experiences. However, we were asked to be at the meeting point 1/2 hour prior to the start of the experience. That seemed somewhat excessive, but we were willing to do that to prevent any unnecessary delays. But…”
