Your Experience

Join a 7-hour Arctic journey that blends animal encounters, cultural traditions, and the magic of the Northern Lights. With small-group comfort, premium transfers, and expert guidance, this tour delivers the best of Lapland in one unforgettable day.

Seamless start to your experience

You’ll be picked up in style from your hotel or accommodation in a Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, or similar vehicle. Upon arrival, you’ll receive a Fazer chocolate welcome before meeting your English-speaking guide. After a brief orientation, you’ll set off into Lapland’s winter wonderland.

Husky safari through the snow

At the husky farm, you’ll meet energetic sled dogs eager to run. Enjoy a 500 m sleigh ride with the huskies, feel their power up close, and learn about how they’re trained and cared for.

Chasing the Northern Lights

As night falls, your guide will lead you to remote and dark spots ideally suited for Aurora viewing — lakeshores, forest edges, open skies. At two locations, you’ll pause for hot fruit or berry tea while waiting, and your guide will help you learn how to capture the lights on your camera or phone.
