Welcome to Rovaniemi, the Official Hometown of Santa Claus! Rovaniemi is an urban oasis amidst the Arctic wilderness, where culture, wild safaris and fairytales come together!
Our guide will pick you up at the Rovaniemi airport or train station. After a short stop at the hotel to get settled in, you will be taken to the local operators office to be fitted for winter gear that will keep you warm throughout all five days.
You will be welcomed with a traditional Lappish dinner: famous and tasty Grilled Salmon! After dinner, we will take you on a guided Northern Lights Tour. In accordance with the day's prevailing weather conditions, we will drive about 25km out of the city for increased chances and more open viewing areas. A short walk through the Arctic forest bring us to a lake where light pollution is much lower. There's a great spot out on the ice for a view unobstructed by the trees.
The Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon entirely dependent on weather conditions and solar wind activity; sightings are not guaranteed.
