Things to do in Finland

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommend Paul's Northern Lights tour! Before we set off, the weather forecast wasn't ideal, so we had mentally prepared ourselves for the possibility of not seeing the Northern Lights. To our surprise, Paul was incredibly dedicated from the start of the tour, determined to help us see them. Throughout the journey, he constantly monitored the weather, cloud cover, and aurora activity, searching for the best viewing spots. With his highly professional experience, he continuously adjusted our direction, leading us to the places with the highest chance of seeing the Northern Lights. When we finally succeeded in seeing the Northern Lights, it was an incredibly moving moment! ✨ We had thought we might be disappointed, but thanks to Paul's hard work and expert judgment, we achieved the most anticipated goal of our trip on our very first day in Lapland! Additionally, the aurora photos Paul took were absolutely beautiful. Not only did we create lasting memories in the moment, but we also have many wonderful photos to take home and cherish. We are truly grateful for Paul's dedication and effort throughout the entire night, which made it a truly unforgettable evening for us. This was a fantastic Northern Lights experience, and I highly recommend everyone to go aurora hunting with Paul! 💚✨

The icebreaker experience was truly the most unforgettable part of our entire Nordic trip. As the ship began to move forward, directly colliding with the thick sea ice, the low crunching sound and the slight vibration of the entire vessel gave a visceral sense of 'humans traversing a polar environment,' rather than simply sightseeing.

Buy your tickets online in advance to avoid waiting in line at the venue and enjoy quick entry by scanning your ticket. The interior architecture is very unique. We recommend visiting in the morning or at midday when there is ample sunlight to experience the beautiful and stunning effect of light filtering in through the side windows at the top.

The tour guide couple was very kind. The day before, they even reminded us that the weather forecast was not good and we might not see the Northern Lights, asking if we wanted to cancel. However, we decided to try our luck and go anyway, so we didn't cancel the trip. They picked us up around 10:30 PM. We didn't see the Northern Lights at the first lake, but we were very lucky to see them at the second lake! There was also a small cabin next to the second lake, where the tour guide couple prepared hot blueberry juice, sausages, small bread, and marshmallows. I highly recommend everyone join their tour!

In 48 hours, I was able to enjoy four museums, churches, the Kamppi Chapel, and even Suomenlinna Island. I definitely feel like I got my money's worth, and best of all, it was so convenient not having to buy tickets at museums or for the train.

**🌟 Absolutely magical Northern Lights hunting tour in Rovaniemi – highly recommended!** We had an incredible time on this Northern Lights tour last night and honestly can’t stop smiling about it. The guides were fantastic – super enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They guided us perfectly to the best spots for viewing the aurora, helped us capture beautiful family photos (which turned out amazing!), and made the whole evening feel special and relaxed. Thanks to the clear skies, we were treated to some really strong and active Northern Lights displays. It was breathtaking! What really stood out was how well they took care of us as a family with a baby. They arranged convenient hotel pickup and drop-off, made sure we were comfortable the entire time, and went out of their way to help with everything. It made the whole experience stress-free and truly family-friendly.

Taking a cruise in Helsinki allows you to see famous sights, with detailed explanations of attractions provided via English audio commentary on board. Enjoying the scenery from the shore is very pleasant, and if it's too windy on deck, you can move indoors to admire the views. Buying boat tickets on Klook ensures you won't miss out, and your itinerary will be well-planned. After the cruise, you can explore the market by the pier and have lunch, which offers a unique local experience.

really nice experience in rovaniemi! the tour guide was really nice, and we have met some friendly tourmates as well :) the only thing that could be improved is the time for each events, a bit too short overall :(

boarded the ferry from Helsinki and the guide was waiting at a prominent area upon exiting the ferry in Tallinn. Sergei was our guide and he has such a good sense of humour. he makes a lot of effort to connect with the guests on the tour to help them contextualise the point he was trying to illustrate by giving examples of the various countries. he is highly knowledgeable and answers our questions happily. very attentive to guests needs as well. he even recommended us several Estonian restaurants serving authentic food and cautioned us of certain ‘traps’ that might not be authentic. Tallinn old town is charming and worth a visit if you’re into medieval towns . definitely 10/10, highly recommended!

It was an amazing tour. The weather looked quite severe and I thought we wouldn't be able to see anything, but our guide Manuel didn't give up and changed locations multiple times. Thanks to that, we were able to see the aurora in the end. I am very satisfied that I was even able to take pictures of the aurora with my smartphone.

Ilari is our excellent, friendly and patient guide. He is very familiar with the animals in Ranua zoo. He is also very willing to share lives and history of Finland, letting us know more the life of Finnish! We highly recommend this trip organised by Lake Hit Safaris (email is info@lakehutsafaris.com).

It's so friendly and good that I'd want to come back again. I highly recommend trying it when you visit Helsinki. I'm leaving with great memories!
