Fantastic 5.0
We had a very comfortable stay at Scandic Helsinki Aviapolis near Helsinki Airport. The location was ideal for our early flight, and the free shuttle bus to and from the airport made our departure effortless and stress-free. The room was clean, cosy and well suited for a restful night before flying. We especially enjoyed the excellent breakfast buffet with a wide selection, which was perfect before our early start. The staff were friendly and efficient, and check-in/out was smooth. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone travelling through Helsinki Airport — great value and very convenient!

We had a wonderful one-night stay at Aito Igloo Resort and Spa in Rovaniemi while celebrating our anniversary, and the entire experience was truly magnificent. They thoughtfully decorated our room and even surprised us with a small souvenir gift, which was such a lovely and memorable touch. Our package also included two complimentary hours each day at the Finnish sauna and spa, which was an incredible experience—relaxing, authentic, and the perfect way to unwind in the Arctic setting. The breakfast included in our stay was delicious with great variety and quality. Staying here felt like being in a true winter wonderland. The igloo experience, the peaceful snowy landscape, and the warm hospitality created an unforgettable atmosphere. Overall, the staff, the service, and the entire experience were amazing. I would definitely recommend staying at this resort to anyone visiting Rovaniemi and looking for a unique and memorable Arctic getaway.

The sled dogs were lively and adorable, and the reindeer looked endearingly clumsy; the entire activity proceeded slowly and safely. Our Chinese-speaking guide took great care of us and communicated very well. The polar bears at the zoo were very active, and their playful antics were truly charming.

we had a wonderful experience. nobody booked the same time slot so it felt like a private tour, our guide Jeremy did a fantastic job and very enthusiastic in what he does. I've red few bad reviews, but still went ahead and booked, I'm glad I did. one of our highlights. THANK YOU!

Taking a small group safari tour is very relaxing. A family of three waited for the handsome driver to pick them up at the hotel and take them directly to the wildlife safari park where the explanations were very clear. It was a great experience. After it was over, we went to have lunch and then returned to the hotel.

Our guide is very friendly, patient, and supportive. Even if you are the first time skiing, he is always willing to teach and help. We had a very wonderful experience.

Big thanks to the guide Gabor for all the help today. Skiing is really physically demanding and definitely a sweaty activity. As a first-time skier, I learned a lot and fell many times, but it was a truly unique and memorable experience :)

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.
