Itinerary

Day 1 - Rovaniemi

Welcome to Lapland and the beginning of an exciting trip. Upon arrival at Rovaniemi Airport you'll be met and transferred to your hotel. This evening why not step outside in the hope of seeing the elusive but magnificent Northern Lights. Being close to the Arctic Circle gives you a great chance of spotting them, provided the weather is clear and the conditions are right.

Overnight: Rovaniemi

Day 2 - Husky Sledging

An exhilarating morning awaits as we head to a husky farm. After an introduction to the excitable but well trained arctic dogs, we'll jump on our sledges and be whisked across the pristine winter forest close to the Arctic Circle. Each sled will have 2 riders who will take it in turns to control the reins. Passing through beautiful scenery we'll witness the power of these incredible animals before we return to their home where we have the opportunity to learn more about the life of a husky and enjoy a hot drink to warm us up. The rest of the day is at leisure.

Overnight: Rovaniemi
Meals: Breakfast

Day 3 - Optional Northern Lights Lake Floating

Today offers free time to explore Rovaniemi at your own pace as there are no included activities today.

This evening there is an optional excursion for Aurora Ice Floating, where, after getting wrapped up in a thick rescue suit, you'll ease in and enjoy a relaxing float. Whilst it might sound a little bizarre, the high quality rescue suit will keep off the cold and let your mind rest as you relax under the nights sky, with the right conditions we'll hopefully have a mystical display from the Northern Lights.

Overnight: Rovaniemi
Meals: Breakfast

Day 4 - Snowmobile Safari and Reindeer Farm

Get ready for an exhilarating day as we jump on snowmobiles and take off into the Arctic wilderness and head for a reindeer farm. Your guide will take you through backwoods, past frozen trees and down tracks that lead to stunning natural landscapes. At the reindeer farm we'll get to interact and learn about Santa's flying friends before enjoying a short sleigh ride close to the farm. After returning to the farm we'll enjoy some warm drinks and take part in a lappish Arctic Circle ceremony housed inside a traditional tepee.

Returning to Rovaniemi, the rest of the day is at leisure.

Overnight: Rovaniemi
Meals: Breakfast

Day 5 - Rovaniemi

Today marks the end of our Lapland experience comes to an end, a transfer will be arranged to take you to Rovaniemi Airport.

Tour Reviews

Excellent -well organised by pofessional partners. The extensive City Hotel breakfast was a highlight. All appointments and activities were on time with very friendly and helpful staff. On the Go need to emphasise that this is partially a selfguided tour so participants are well aware they have to fill in the gaps themselves.

Well organised

A fantastic experience - so worth doing - Kids loved it!

Excellent itinerary and hotels. Lapland is amazing! Alain was a knowledgeable and personable guide. Tour was multi-language which was challenging at times.

Ice lake floating | Lapland | Finland
Aurora Ice Floating Rovaniemi

Dip yourself into a frozen lake for an amazing, relaxing and unique experience! If the weather is clear we'll get to see beautiful stars and may even get to marvel at the magnificent Northern Lights dancing across the nights sky. This guided tour provides you with a high-quality rescue suit that covers your whole body and keeps you dry. As you have your own clothing under the suit you will not get cold even in the open 0-degree water. Lying down in the ice hole between the ice blocks is something worth trying and the circumstances are truly arctic! After you make your way out of the lake you'll enjoy a hot drink and biscuits around a warming fire.
