Levi Lapland Explorer

Spend the evening on the lookout for the magnificent Northern Lights in the dark Arctic sky. You will be picked up from your accommodation point in Rovaniemi or Levi and transferred by car to a remote area with a campfire. This spot is one of the best places to observe the Northern Lights as well as enjoying the Polar night's beauty. Whilst waiting for the lights you will also enjoy snacks prepared on campfire and traditional hot berry juice and cookies. There will be plenty of legends and fascinating stories about life beyond the Arctic Circle being told by your professional guide. He will teach you about lots of legends the Finnish people have about the Northern Lights like they were caused by the tail of a firefox who ran so quickly across the snow that sparks ignited the night sky! The Finnish word for Northern Lights is “revontulet” which translates to fire fox.

Experience the beautiful wilds of Lapland on a reindeer farm visit and safari from Rovaniemi or Levi. Earn your "drivers license," then hop aboard your reindeer sled complete with reindeer guide. Head off into the picturesque snowy forest lead by your reindeer. This sled-ride allows you to really admire the panoramic views of the Lappish countryside. Once back from your sled ride you can warm up with a hot drink by the fire and listen to lots of fascinating information from your guide about the reindeer’s role in Lappish society before returning to Rovaniemi or Levi.

Learn to ski with a morning lesson (1.5 hours) at the Levi Ski School, where you can choose to partake in either mountain or cross-country skiing. The lessons are suitable for all ages and skill levels. Choose either a private lesson or a group lesson and hone new skills, achieve new goals and have an unforgettable experience. The friendly and qualified instructors are happy to help and will provide you with tips and tricks!

Head to a husky farm and meet some of Lapland’s favourite dogs. Once at the farm you will learn about the daily work of the dogs and what it is like to live on the farm. After passing a short course on how to be a young dog breeder you will leave on a 2km safari. The dog sleds hold between 1 and 3 people and you can always swap places from being the passenger to being the ‘musher’. There will be opportunities to rest and take lots of photographs. There will also be hot berry juice, tea, coffee and cookies before going back to your hotel.

This safari is a good option for those who want to get a real feeling for snowmobiling. Vast and rugged snowy landscapes are surrounding you as you are driving your own snow-gliding machine. Whether you are a complete amateur or an experienced rider, you are guaranteed to have great fun on this excursion into the Arctic wilderness.

Discover the magical winter wonderland of Finland at night time as you go in search of the beautiful Northern Lights. The reflection of the white snow and the stars and moon allow us to follow the snowmobile trails even in the dead of night. Once at our location our guide will light up a bonfire and we will enjoy a picnic whilst waiting for the Northern Lights to appear. Good stories, a tasty snack, and hot beverages are guaranteed even if the auroras fail us tonight.
