Things to do in Rovaniemi

Paul took great care of us – providing warm drinks, snacks. He helped everyone with taking professional pictures with his camera (I got some amazing shots on my phone as well!), and his enthusiasm kept spirits high all night. If you’re heading out to hunt the aurora, book a tour with Paul – he’s dedicated, knowledgeable, and goes the extra mile to make sure you see the lights. Highly recommend! 10/10 would do again.

the tour guide share a lot of Aurora info with us!! the foods were nice too - sausage, marshmarrow and the salmon soup… most important, we get to see our Aurora! they even guide me how to use phone capture the nice Aurora picture!

Highly recommend to book this tour if first time going to Finland. For a short stay in Rovaniemi, this tour covers the essentials. Negative points: (1) The only downside is that there is no time to rest and have a meal as the queue for the ride is long so last batch needed to rush after finishing the ride and (2) the departure time is same for many tours so we wasted time in changing the clothes due to many people going by tour at same time

this was a great experience! we were skeptical due to the clouds but they managed to find a spot where we saw the aurora straight away! followed by a warm fire and snacks! the tour guides were both lovely and helped us take good photos!

it was an excellent experience to go for the husky dog, sledding, and also the reindeer ride, and also lusty the most chilling zoo . And an awesome lunch that I personally they enjoyed it!!

Punctual at 10.30am. We finished the whole tour within ~2h inclusive of travel. We got to feed the reindeers, take the sleigh ride, and were given some snacks after. Overall, pleasant experience and smooth-flow with this company. Also, Santa Claus Village is just nearby. I would definitely recommend!

Went at the end of December. Such a memorable experience! The trip started with boarding the ship at sunrise and disembarking at sunset. The whole time the weather was clear and sunny. The on-board activities were enough to fill the 3-hour boarding time. Besides floating in the sea in lobster suits, you could also take pictures on the deck and visit the captain's cabin and machine room. There were three choices for lunch on board: meatballs with mashed potatoes, salmon rice, and vegan pasta, along with a bowl of soup (salmon soup / tomato vegetable soup) and garlic bread. The food wasn't particularly tasty; the meatballs seemed boiled and tasted normal, and the salmon rice was also just okay. The outdoor area on the ship was very cold, but luckily there was hot GLOGG available to warm the stomach and hands.

While the price is a little high, it's a fantastic experience! The staff on board are friendly and courteous, and they do their best to assist customers! In addition to trying on the lobster suit, the staff also gave us a tour of the ship's facilities and helped us understand how the whole ship works, which was very cool! A big thank you to our Nepalese service staff, who were very helpful!

Booked an aurora tour for 1026 HKD (Klook). Didn't catch the aurora, but caught the moonlight. Meeting point was at 20:00 in Rovaniemi city center. I have to say, the cold-weather gear they provided was really amazing!! We changed clothes upon arrival, and shoes were also provided. Then we waited for the other tour members to arrive before getting on the bus together. The ride was about 50-60 minutes to an outdoor campsite. The guides would start a fire first to make sure everyone wouldn't get cold outside. Then a group of people gathered in the tent to eat reindeer sausage, drink hot blueberry juice, and roast marshmallows. Everyone chatted while waiting for the aurora to appear. You could also go out and take pictures. There was a professional photographer in the group. After waiting for an hour, the guide said that the probability of seeing the aurora today was low. Everyone could also have the photographer take some pictures to leave some memories. We departed around 20:15, arrived at the campsite at 21:20, and left at 23:00. Then they took us to two other campsites to wait briefly, without getting off the bus, while the guide checked for auroras. There were no auroras at either location. We ran to a total of three spots. Finally, we returned to the city center around 00:45. The whole process was quite fun. Gathering around a campfire with people from different places and having a barbecue was also a special experience.
