    · March 10th, 2025
    Alain was our tour guide and he sets the bar high for future guided tours - the Aurora tour was perfectly planned and he had everything prepared for every day which made it so easy for us to enjoy every moment of our trip stress free and without any worry, many thanks to Alain for a wonderful experience in Finland. I think our favorite part of the tour was the Husky Safari and the Glass Igloo. Playing with the husky dogs and later seeing the northern lights was spectacular! While at the the Scandic hotel, everything was clean and comfortable, the restaurant served a great breakfast, and staff were helpful and friendly. I absolutely recommend this tour and look forward to our next adventure in Finland!

  • R

    Ross

    Asked on September 16th, 2025

    Would like to stay an extra day at the glass igloo. Can you suggest best month to have a chance to see Aurora Borealis?

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • V.O.S – Vision of ScandinaviaOperatorWritten September 2025

      February and March are best months to see Aurora Borealis. We have available rooms on 29th November and 6th December. Aurora Borealis is not guaranteed but conditions may allow viewing during these tour months.

  • D

    Danielle

    Asked on June 12th, 2025

    Can you see the Northern Lights from the hotel? Is it possible to add an extra night in the glass igloo, and how much would it cost?

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • V.O.S – Vision of ScandinaviaOperatorWritten June 2025

      The Northern Lights are visible from Igloos since they have glass ceiling. We can add an extra night if there is availability. The regular hotel has windows so if the Northern Lights are visible from the city they can be seen, but it depends on the city lights, which affect their strength. If you are interested in 6th of December let me know so we can ask for availability at Santa Claus Igloos.

    Asked on May 9th, 2025

    Do you provide roommate matching

    Diane

    Asked on May 2nd, 2025

    Can another night in a glas igloo be added 11th Dec 2025 and what would it cost

    Accommodation
    Price / Availability
    • V.O.S – Vision of ScandinaviaOperatorWritten May 2025

      The hotel overnights are 3 and 1 in Igloo so I assume you are talking about a 2nd night in the Glass Igloo at 10th December and check out at 11th. Let me know if you want 1 more night in Igloo (total nights 3).

    What is the arctic ice floating? Duration? Where does it go? What do you see?

    Other
    Tour Details
    • V.O.S – Vision of ScandinaviaOperatorWritten March 2025

      Ice floating takes 3 hours. This guided adventure is safe with a high-quality rescue suit that covers your whole body and keeps you dry. As you have your own clothing under the suit you will not get cold even in the open 0-degree water. Lying down in the frozen lake between the ice blocks is something worth trying, the circumstances truly are arctic!

    What days during the tour would you do the optional tours?

    Mark

    Asked on January 3rd, 2025

    I am interested in both "Aurora Borealis & Glass Igloo" and "Tales of Lapland and Glass Igloo". Those look similar. Can you compare the tour?

    Tour Details
    • V.O.S – Vision of ScandinaviaOperatorWritten January 2025

      There are some differences between the 2 tours: Aurora Borealis & Glass Igloo is an escorted tour with an experience Tour Leader, while Tales of Lapland and Glass Igloo is not escorted. Tales of Lapland includes 2 nights at Igloos and the airport transfers are included in the price. Both tours have different activities included.
