7-Day Finland Tour Packages
Finland means different things depending on the season - Rovaniemi up north for winter with Northern Lights across Lapland's forests, or Vaikko's wilderness for summer with rivers and old-growth woods. Finnish landscapes stretch from northern reindeer territory down through central forests where lakes and rapids define the terrain. The country's wilderness areas stay pretty quiet regardless of which region you're exploring, and Helsinki is always a vibe.
Insider tips: Recommended 7-day Finland tour itineraries

- Day 1
Rovaniemi Arrival & First Northern Lights Hunt
Arriving at Rovaniemi Airport is straightforward. You'll reach the city center in just 15 minutes from this small but well-organized airport. Take time to rest after check-in before your first Arctic experience. Your evening starts with a traditional Lappish gathering in a kota (Finnish hut) deep in the forest. Bring plenty of warm layers as nighttime temperatures often drop below -20°C (-4°F).
- Day 2
Ranua Wildlife Park
Start your day early with an 80km drive south to Ranua Wildlife Park. The scenic drive through snowy forests takes about 1.5 hours. You'll find 50 Arctic species here including Finland's only polar bears. A recent visitor suggested: "Visit the polar bears before noon - they're most active during their morning feeding time."
- Day 3
Luosto & Saariselkä Adventure
Visit the unique amethyst mine on top of Lampivaara fell in Luosto. Watch your step near the mine entrance as it can get icy. The drive north to Saariselkä takes about 3 hours. For spectacular northern lights viewing go to Kaunispää fell. At 438m high it offers clear views of the night sky.
- Day 4
Sámi Culture & Snowmobile Safari
Take a one-hour drive to Inari to explore Siida the Sámi Museum. Visit in late morning to avoid crowds and get the most from the exhibits. Back in Rovaniemi join an evening snowmobile safari. Bring your driver's license and bundle up well. The wind on snowmobiles gets surprisingly cold.
- Day 5
Santa Claus Village & Arctic Activities
Get to Santa Claus Village before 10 AM to avoid tour groups. Take photos at the Arctic Circle line and stop by the famous post office. Try the authentic husky and reindeer rides but remember gloves for the cold sleigh handles. Spend your afternoon learning about Arctic life at Arktikum Museum.
- Day 6
Winter Activities & Glass Igloo
Start with morning snowshoeing. It's not too difficult but you'll need some energy. Next up is ice fishing where guides help with hole drilling. Bring hand warmers for the wait. Your night in a glass igloo is a trip highlight. One guest recommended: "Set your alarm for 2 AM - that's when we saw the most spectacular aurora display."
- Day 7
Snow Castle & Departure
See the Snow Castle early when sunlight brings out the best in the ice sculptures. Inside stays at -5°C (23°F) no matter the outdoor temperature so dress warm. Book an afternoon flight as winter weather often delays morning departures.

Cultural landmarks dot this 7-day Finnish route from Helsinki's Senate Square to Kemi's Sampo Icebreaker. Rovaniemi's reindeer farms, Uspenski Cathedral, and the Rock Church offer diverse experiences with 4-star accommodations.

What people love about 7-day Finland tours
- Central Baltic (5 destinations)
The tour guides were very good and provided commentary in English. The Estonia hotel was excellent and the boat crossing and cabin accommodations were of a good standard. The Hotel Globe in Stockholm was too far from the city. Although it was close to the rail station, I would prefer something closer to the centre of the attractions in Stockholm so that I could go back and forth from the hotel easily throughout the day. When booking the tour I would have liked to know that this tour was in Spanish, with English as a secondary language. Most of the travellers spoke Spanish and I could not interact with them.
- Lapland Winter Adventure
I had a wonderful time on my Lapland Winter Adventure, as arranged by Arif, out of Carisa Travel. He was organized, and made things very clear to me, which I appreciated because I was traveling alone.,
