Ride to Riisitunturi National Park for a small-group winter walk, Arctic nature stories, and a campfire BBQ lunch with warm drinks.

“Awesome. I really enjoyed the trip with Paul I as guide.”
Hike Korouoma’s frozen waterfalls from Rovaniemi with hotel pickup, thermal gear, and a bonfire BBQ lunch, plus blueberry tea.
“Had an interesting walk to the Frozen waterfall.. it was a good walk except that it was very tiring climbing uphill at the last stage before reaching the car park. My guide for the day was Azzura from Nordic travel and she took good care of me to make sure that I didn’t fall on the slippery ground along the walk. Enjoyed the bbq lunch esp the salmon soup . Yummy !!! The only setback is there’s no proper toilet there except for the compost toilet at the start of the walk. Overall it’s a good walk to see the amazing frozen waterfall.”
5-hour Rovaniemi snowmobile and ice-fishing break with warm gear, guided lessons, and Lappish soup lunch from Safartica.
“Guide and food were wonderful. One of the best tours of our vacation in one on my favorite places to visit.”
Guided Ranua Wildlife Park tour from Rovaniemi with lunch, small group access, and expert Arctic animal commentary in Finland’s northern forests.
“We went to the Ranua Wildlife Park with Tania, and this was honestly an amazing experience. She took the time to walk us through each exhibit and gave us so much insight about every animal, their habitats, where they can be found, and how they relate to Finland and the Arctic Circle. I’ve never had such an insightful and dedicated tour guide. Tania was clearly passionate about what she does and genuinely cared about sharing not just facts, but also the culture and history of the land with us. This isn’t your typical zoo visit. It felt meaningful, thoughtful, and personal. If you’re planning to visit Ranua, I highly recommend…”
VIP ice fishing in Rovaniemi with gear and Canada Goose clothing, then a fire-cooked 3-course Lapland lunch in a glass igloo.
“Splendida esperienza. Luogo bellissimo, pace silenzio e natura. Abbiamo pescato (3 pesci!!!), pranzato (bene) e fatto un giro con gli scooter.”
See Arctic animals at Ranua Zoo with hotel pickup from Rovaniemi, a guided forest walk, and time to shop, all in 5 hours.
“Arnti (not sure if it’s correctly spelled) is a friendly and knowledgeable guide! Tour is as per described! As usual for the zoo visits, we don’t always get to see all the animals they got.. I didn’t get to see the moose, red foxes and brown bears (hibernating in winter). It’s -7degrees on our visit and thankfully we were ready for the weather. Overall a pleasant experience.”
Half-day trip from Rovaniemi to Ranua Zoo for Arctic animal sightings and a warm lunch. Pickup, English guide, and surprise gift included.
“Excellent experience with Allen who not only brought us to the Ranua zoo, but also shared more about life in Rovaniemi. Would strongly recommend this trip.”
Full-day Rovaniemi tour with prebooked Ranua Zoo entry, a Finnish sauna plus Arctic lake swim, and lunch and smoked-salmon dinner.
“We had an amazing day tour. It was perfect from start to end. They picked us up on time to go to the zoo. We had an amazing guide very knowledgeable of the animali and finnish history. We had a big buffet lunch with many options and we spend the evening relaxing in an authentic sauna and eating a smoked salmon and veggies for dinner. 100% percent recommended. It you think of coming I suggest to bring an extra towel as the ones used to dip into the lake might get really wet and an hairdryer for the ladies as it was not present.”

Private reindeer safari with hot drinks by an open fire, then a 3-course lunch in a glass igloo in Rovaniemi, Finland.
“What a great experience! Our guide Vadym was incredible! Very knowledgeable and fun. We had 3 different types of vehicles to choose from and could even choose to be pulled in a sled. Amazing views all put by ourselves in the deep woods. Much higher quality snowmobile that we chose versus a different tour operator we used the day before. The lunch in the igloo was excellent! Very cool setting and delicious food. Pickup and drop off was in a much nicer vehicle then other tours. Highly highly recommend The Guide Father and Vadym in particular. We will book all of our tours with them when we come back!”
