Rovaniemi

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.

An absolutely unforgettable experience. Standing on the frozen sea and floating in the sea is something everyone should try once. The crew on the Arktis was fantastic.

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.

So happy to chase the Northern Lights in Finland again. The Northern Lights reflected on the lake are so beautiful. The weather is good today, and I'm very lucky. The weather is very cold, but this trip chasing the Northern Lights was worth it. Plus, there's a bonfire and food to eat, which is awesome! 👍

it was great , the staff jiji, and others were very polite, informative and helpful. the equipments were in great condition and clean too. the drive was of 1 hr and we enjoyed it a lot .

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.

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!
