    • Helsinki TourOperatorWritten July 2023

      In November there is usually not enough snow for outdoor activities yet, especially husky riding. December-February will be a better timing. Instead, in November the visit to Helsinki-Tallinn-Porvoo would be a good idea.

    Asked on January 13th, 2023

    Is it possible to add a ice igloo stay?

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • Helsinki TourOperatorWritten January 2023

      We do not provide accommodation since it will be cheaper and more flexible cancellation terms for guest to book on their own. Santa's Igloos Arctic Circle might have two nights for 2 rooms from 24 to 26th Feb, you can book directly from them.

    Do you offer airport transfers and if so, what is the cost?

      Yes we do offer the airport transfer, can you tell us where is your hotel in Rovanimei?

    Kristen

    Asked on November 8th, 2022

    Is it possible to add on the following activities to this tour: Dog (Huskies) sledding, Reindeer farm, Rauna Wildlife Park visit. If so, an accompanying quote for two adults, twin share (two single beds) would be helpful

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • Helsinki TourOperatorWritten November 2022

      Yes, it is possible to add those three activities to this tour. For Rauna zoo it will take about 1 day, can you let us know how long you are going to stay in Rovaniemi? So we can check how to add those activities. Regarding the hotel, we recommend you book by yourself since it is more cost efficient and more flexible to cancel it if needed.

      TravelerWritten November 2022

      Based on other similar tours, we would stay in Rovaniemi for 4 nights / 5 days to allow time to enjoy all excursions. We may also have a third person join us for this trip. Can you support by sharing a quote for 2 people with the additional excursions and accommodation as well as one for 3 people.

    • Helsinki TourOperatorWritten November 2022

      4 nights/ 5 days should be enough to add the excursions. The Total price will be 3200e for 3 guests and include the additional activities. We do not provide accommodation in Rovaniemi, we suggest you book from booking.com or other platforms since it will be more flexible for you to cancel later on.

    • K

      Kristen

      TravelerWritten November 2022

      To avoid confusion, would the price quote include any accommodation (being the 2 nights of the package) or only the tours?

    Asked on April 3rd, 2022

    We want to stay in an igloo style cabin, not ice igloo, but one with a glass roof - is this possible on your tour?

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • Helsinki TourOperatorWritten April 2022

      The cabin we have is like what shown in the picture. It is a cabin with glass roof, not the whole-glass igloo or the snow igloo. And I check the availability, there is no room on 30th December 2022 and 5th January 2023 during the Christmas season, other days there are still cabins availability at the moment.

    Asked on January 19th, 2022

    When is the best time of month of the year to see the northern lights?

    Tour Details
    • Helsinki TourOperatorWritten January 2022

      In Lapland you have the chance to see Northern Light for over 200 days in a year! And the most promising season is Winter - early Spring, so the late December could be a good timing (and it also depends on the solar activities, weather condition etc.).
