The Ultimate Guide to Lapland Safaris in Finland

This article is  Part 3 of our 4 part series on planning the ultimate trip to Lapland, Finland

Read Part 1  The Ultimate Itinerary for Finnish Lapland   (opens in a new tab)

Read Part 2 The Ultimate Guide to Packing for Finnish Lapland   (opens in a new tab)

Read Part 4  Staring at the Northern Lights in Saariselka   (opens in a new tab)

The Finnish Wilderness stretches out before us. We’re huddled around a bonfire in a traditional teepee clad in warm Arctic suits. Rustic lanterns sway from the slanted ceiling of the teepee as we sip on warm Finnish berry juice. All eyes are towards the sky. There’s no sign of the elusive Northern Lights but we can see millions of stars and the majestic milky way

The night gets colder. The owner of the reindeer farm regales us with Finnish folk tales – tales of Vikings, sky dwellers, ancestral spirits, and Arctic foxes conjuring magical lights in the sky.

A safari in Finnish Lapland is no ordinary experience. It’s a collation of dozens of once-in-a-lifetime experiences in one nifty package.  But if you’re in Lapland for a limited time, you’re bound to get confused. That’s because there’s everything from reindeer safaris and Arctic animal adventures to snowmobiling and Northern Lights hunting on offer. Each one of them is more tempting than the last – how is one to choose? Here is our guide to our favourite Lapland Safaris:

I) Reindeer Safaris for romantics (and kiddies)

Imagine gliding through a snow-laden forest on a reindeer sleigh. Lappish fur rugs keep you warm as the hypnotic tinkling of bells helps you drift deeper and deeper into dreamland. All around, perfectly-shaped snowflakes continue to fall silently.

A reindeer safari in Lapland is truly an experience like no other. It’s the ultimate romantic getaway for couples but it’s perfect for families with young kids too. After all, who doesn’t love nuzzling against a real-life Rudolph?! 🙂

We’ve mentioned this before, but we’ll say it again. We highly recommend pre-booking all your safaris with Lapland Safaris . That way you can keep their Arctic overalls,  equipment for the activities , ski gloves, even snow boots for the length of your stay in Rovaniemi for free. They’ll keep you warm and you won’t have to pay a penny. It’s a win-win situation 🙂

2) Husky Dog Safari for adventurers

If you want something to get your heart racing as fast as it possibly can, then a husky dog safari in Lapland is for you. There are a variety of safaris – overnight, half day, and full day – to choose from. You can feed cuddly husky dogs, nuzzle them to your heart’s content, and even prepare your own sled. Husky dogs are stunning creatures with sparkly blue & brown eyes, and it’s hard to get enough of them.

Once the sled is ready, it’s time to go on an adventurous ride through Arctic forests, snow-covered fields, and the Lappish wilderness. You can choose between sitting on the sled or ‘driving’ (aka manoeuvring) the sled.  The huskies are always raring to go for a run, so be prepared for a thrilling ride that will leave you breathless. The silent Finnish wilderness is truly awe-inspiring – the panting of the husky dogs is probably the only sound you’ll hear for hours.

Most day-long safaris include a pit-stop at lunch, which is served around bonfire (on a frozen lake, no less!).

3) Snowmobiling for adrenalin junkies

There is nothing quite like driving snow-mobiles/snow scooters across the snowy Arctic lands. A snowmobile safari will leave you spell bound from the second you turn on the ignition to the second you take off your helmet and park your snowmobile. Snowmobile journeys in Lapland will take you through glistening forests, dream-like landscapes, and entire panoramas enveloped with magic. The crisp air of the Finnish countryside is sure to leave you awestruck!

We loved our first snowmobile safari so much that we booked another overnight snowmobile safari and even went hunting for Northern Lights on snowmobiles. This is definitely our favourite way of exploring Finnish Lapland’s stunning wilderness.

A word of caution – things can get very chilly on snowmobile safaris, so make sure you’re well covered. We have suggestions on  which clothes you should take to your trip to Lapland . But no matter how warmly clad you are, you should protect yourself further with balaclavas, helmets, mittens, and ski socks provided by your safari provider for your snowmobile safari. Those little things will keep you well and truly warm, so you can enjoy your safari to your heart’s content 🙂

4) Northern Light Safari for err EVERYONE!!

Once you’ve feasted your eyes on Lapland’s idyllic frozen landscapes and taken dozens of photographs, it’s time to explore the same panoramas at night and go hunting for the fleeting Northern Lights. At night, the silent Lappish wilderness seems to acquire a thrilling halo. The moon shines on miles after miles of pillowy snow and lends an air of mystery to the proceedings.

You can choose to experience this supremely unique landscape on reindeer sleighs, horse sleighs, snowmobiles, skiis, or snowshoes. The guides make sure the excruciating wait for the Northern Lights is peppered with anecdotes and tales from Finnish folklore. If you’re lucky, the dancing Aurora Borealis will pay your group a visit on your night out in the Lappish wilderness.

We got very lucky and chanced upon a stunning display of the Northern Lights on our snowmobile safari – one minute we were racing across a frozen river and the next we were all glued to our spots, eyes transfixed on the sky. Vid spotted a streak of green in the sky and prompted the group to stop. No sooner had we stopped that THE Northern Lights came out to play. The sky was suddenly aglow with shades of green, purple, and pink that we didn’t know existed. They danced from one end of the horizon to the other, faded, and then appeared stronger than ever before. By the end, we were well and truly hypnotised 🙂

Now, a word of advice. You know we love capturing moments like these with our bulky DSLR, be it as images or as videos. But we found lugging around the DSLR quite tedious or pretty much impossible during some of these safaris, so we took a lot of pictures using our trustworthy GoPro camera. We got some great footage of our safaris so we highly recommend carrying a small action camera with you.

Wow you have covered it all…very comprehensive information. Of course all your destinations have been going straight to my bucket list but this one goes on the top! I had another question since you mentioned Go Pro. We are going on a Himalayan trekking expedition shortly and I was sceptical of carrying my DSLR so was about to settle for my Sony Cybershot point and shoot mainly because of the size and ease of handling. Now that you have mentioned Go Pro, I am curious…which one do you use? I like the Go Pro Silver because it has a touch screen but at the cost of resolution which is better in Black. I am not much a video person so my main interest is taking photos. Is Go Pro worth the investment in that case? Sorry for the lengthy comment but I absolutely love the photography on your blog and was hoping to take some decent pictures myself 😛

Hi Soujanya,

We wouldn’t recommend the GoPro only for still images – of course you’ll be able to capture them, but a digital camera or DSLR will do a better job on the whole. The Sony point and shoot might be better to begin with, and if you feel the need to capture action shots / videos, then you can go for a GoPro. I would say that for the trek, you should be able to take your DSLR too – just be careful with it, tuck it away in a secure bag and only take it out when you need to take a picture 🙂

Hope this helps.

Thank you for your reply! This is the best part of your blog, you guys are very approachable and helpful 🙂 So I will dare and take the DSLR. Hopefully I will survive the 10 day trek to take pictures on the summit! 😀

Wow.. like rightly said in the comment above, this one goes straight to my bucket list.. great stuff guys.. 🙂

thanks Praveen 🙂

A Reindeer safari is a thing?! Count me in! Those photos are amazing.

Yep it is- an amazing one at that 😀

Hi Savi and Vid,

I am across your series of posts as well As your YouTube videos while researching Kakslauttanen and I have a few questions for you if that is okay. We are booked to stay here in two months and I am super excited!

1) you mentioned that its a good idea to prebook safaris through Lapland Safaris, and we are not opposed to this idea but reading through tripadvisor we came across someone who mentioned that Kakslauttanen does not allow safari companies to pick you up from the hotel if you do not book through Kakslauttanen? Problem is Ive sent probably five emails to Kakslauttanen now inquiring about safaris but they still havent responded and Im inclined to book through Lapland Safaris just to be sure! Advice?

2) we are just enthusiasts and have point and shoot knowledge of photography but we’d like to be able to photograph the northern lights. Do you have any suggestions? We have a Canon point and shoot with manual capabilities and a goPro Hero 3. Is a tripod absolutely necessary?

Thank you in advance!

Dear Karla,

Sure, we are happy to answer whatever questions you might have 🙂

1) We booked through Lapland Safaris in Rovaniemi and not in Kakslauttanen. In Kakslauttanen, we did the excursions through Kakslauttanen only. However, I can’t see why you can’t book with an external company like Lapland Safaris – you could just tell them to pick you up from outside the reception and you could just stand outside or something. I can’t see why or how Kakslauttanen will prevent you from booking with other providers. Perhaps you could mail Lapland Safaris in Saariselka and ask them if they have picked up people from Kakslauttanen in the past?

2) You might not need a tripod, but you will need to find a stable surface where you can place your camera. Sometimes, the Northern Lights are faint so while our eyes can see them, the camera might not be able to capture them unless you use a long exposure. If you use long exposure, you need to place it on a stable surface 🙂 Since you don’t have a bulky DSLR, you could just get a cheap tripod for your canon off Amazon or something for this trip? I have a feeling you won’t regret taking a mini tripod with you 😉

Like one of the commenters above, my fiance and I found your website while researching Kakslauttanen. We will be there at the end of March. Thanks so much for your very helpful posts on what to see/do in Lapland and what to pack. Very useful! We will be using several of your suggestions. A couple of questions:

1. We had been considering taking a GoPro on this trip, but we don’t have one yet. Which model and accessories did you use for your vlog?

2. We will be taking the bus from Kakslauttanen to Rovaniemi. The Matkahuolto bus website says we can’t book that journey online. Did you have any issues with that? If so, how did you handle booking in advance?

Thanks again for all of your tips.

Hey Carrie,

Thanks a lot for your message 🙂

The vlog was primarily with the GoPro Hero3+ Black but we also used our DSLR for some video footage. These days we use a GoPro Hero4 Silver 🙂

You are right about the bus. Even we couldn’t book online but the hotel staff informed us that everyone just bought the tickets on boarding the bus. That’s what we did – just go to the bus stop 10 minutes before the scheduled time of the bus and buy the tickets from the bus driver.

Hope you two have a great trip to Lapland – it’s one of our favourite places so far 🙂

I really love all your photos you taken during your safaris tour . May i know what camera and lens you used ? you asked someone to took those photos for you or using tripod during your safaris tour ( husky ride , snowmobile ) ?

Hey Jessica – we used a Nikon D610 and 2 lenses – 28-300 and 50 mm. You can read details about these in our post on Travel and Photography Essentials – https://www.bruisedpassports.com/featured/travel-photography-essentials . The photos which have both of us were taken either by our tour guide or fellow travellers 😀

This is indeed a trip of a lifetime. May I ask what month did you go there?

I’ve been trying to book via their website. I’ve been trying from month of December to January but it seems it is always fully booked. Do u think it is safe to book via booking.com, etc?

We went in Feb. It’s safe to book through booking.com etc. but accommodation in these areas is limited and Jan/Feb are peak months so places run out fast.

hi! i really enjoyed watching your video in lapland and I was very intrigued with the reindeer safari and meeting the sami people. I would love to do that however I will be staying in kakslauttanen for one night only next month, do you think i have enough time to do the activity there or should i book it on another day with another tour operator?

Thank you! 🙂

Hey Camille – You can definitely do it during the one day you’re there at Kakslauttanen 🙂

Hi, I’m planning to go to Finland this November. I would like to know if we will get to do all the activities you’ll did and I would want to know which brands to shop from for the thermal wear and stuff bcoz it’s going to be way too cold there and we have no clue which are the specific brands. Hope to get a reply from you guys soon. Thanks.

Hey Foram – answered your question above. Cheers

Hi Savy and Vid,

Its always mesmerising to go through your Blogs and the way you describe the whole journey make it more tempting.

Me and my wife are planning to visit Lapland (offcourse taking inspiration from your blog..?) for out 1st Anniversary and Valentines Day in the month of February.

Although you have given away almost all the details in your blog and also through most or the questions asked by fellow readers, but i still have a few questions i would like to ask..?

1. All the safaris look amazing, about the Snowmobile safari, do we get a chance to drive the snowmobile or will it be driven by the guide himself only?

2. We both are Vegetarians. Lapland being a remote location, can we get vegetarian food options around easily?

3. In your detailed itinerary you had mentioned first 2 days in Kemi, any recommendations on places to stay?

4. Any recommendations on what special we can do on Valentines day ?

Thanks in advance..?

Really sorry for such a delayed response but hope you had a great trip in Lapland – do share some photos with us 🙂

Me and my wife are planning to visit Lapland (off course taking inspiration from your blog..?) for out 1st Anniversary and Valentines Day in the month of February.

Hey Shalabh – 1) You have to drive the snowmobile yourself 2) There are limited options for food for both non vegetarians and vegetarians in Lapland, so if you’re fussy about the kind of veg food you want, it might be a problem 3) Sure you can skip that and stay in Levi or extend your stay in Rovaniemi 4) A reindeer ride is ideal for valentine’s day

Hello Savi & Vid,

It is always a pleasure to read through your stories and more so to look at your videos and pictures. It shows how hard you guys have been working while having fun of course. One quick question: How early do you suggest to book the accomodation at kakslauttanen glass igloo. I have been searching for dates for March-April and also October-November but these glass igloos seem like hot cakes. All sold out/non available. Please provide some tips on how early can we plan to book or any other work around. Thanks!

As you said, Kakslauttanen sells like hot cakes now – we’d suggest booking at least a year in advance. Otherwise you can look at other options like Arctic Fox Igloos (see our latest article on winter road trip in Finland: https://www.bruisedpassports.com/wheres/lapland-finland-winter-road-trip-guide

Thanks for the detailed ititnerary for lapland.It has been an immense help.We are planning to go to lapland in december.Is february a better time to go? And will it be cheaper as compared to december..Please suggest.

Also we are planning to hire a car..Could you suggest reliable car rental companies?

Thanks…looking forward to your reply

Hey Tanvi – February and December are both great weather wise. However February is better of the two as prices tend to sky rocket in December 🙂 You’ll find all our tips for a roadtrip in Lapland here https://www.bruisedpassports.com/wheres/lapland-finland-winter-road-trip-guide

Hi Savi and vid,

We are planning for our anniversary trip to Finland. Wanted to know about cost of total trip including flight , visa , stays etc.

And we are planning in in November. Is it good time to see aurora lights??

It would be great if you could help us with this. Thank you, looking for your reply.

Hey Vaishnavi – we did not include the cost of this entire trip to Lapland (Finland) as that will depend heavily on where you are flying from, the hotels you choose etc. However as an approximate cost you can work with INR 3L 🙂

I would be visiting Scadanavia in February 2024. Please advise whether it is recommended to do Tromso also alongwith Lapland , or would that be a similar experience. From your post it seems that Kakslauttanen, Lapland is a better option than Tromso (Aera Panaromic Glass Igloo).

So if we are short on days should we do both, or just Lapland, or just Tromso and leave Lapland to be exprienced in the next trip.

Thanks a lot in advance

If you’re short on time, then you can just do Finnish Lapland on this trip (and keep Norway for future 🙂 – please do read our other guides on Finland as well – you should visit Rovaniemi, Pyha, Kitila/Levi (Northern Lights Ranch) if possible

Lapland Safaris

Lapland Safaris are specialists in Lapland’s nature and the Lappish lifestyle. Since 1982, we have provided tourists visiting Lapland with exciting nature activities and memorable travel experiences. Show more

At the heart of our activities lies the culture of Lapland. We draw inspiration from the local history and day-to-day ‘Lappishness’. The stories and legends relating to these form the basis of the programme packages offered to our customers.

The highlights of winter trips include snowmobile safaris, reindeer and husky sledge rides, and excursions to admire Lapland’s unique natural light show – the Northern Lights. We organise trips to see them by snowmobile, reindeer or snowshoe.

In the summer you can enjoy Lapland’s outstanding nature by taking a river cruise on the Ounasjoki or the Kemijoki, which flow through the city of Rovaniemi. You can cruise to a local reindeer farm or simply admire the midnight sun.

You can explore Lapland’s nature independently, too. Lapland Safaris offer hikers tips on attractions and a wide selection of quality hiking and outdoor equipment for hire, such as snowshoes and winter clothing.

We arrange excursions and travel programmes for groups of all sizes (minimum of two people). The programmes are always tailored to the desires of the group, which means that we guarantee a memorable trip. We also organise weekly guaranteed departure programmes year-round based on different themes. Individual tourists are also welcome to join these groups.

Come and enjoy the enchantment of Lapland with us.

LAPLAND SAFARIS

Our financial year was better than anticipated, even though our employees had to flex in the middle of several unexpected changes. After a long period of silence, we restarted several of our activities and the number of visitors started to increase.

The past financial year was better than expected for the event service company Lapland Safaris regarding sales and operations. In terms of turnover, we reached the level of almost a couple of years ago; 96 per cent of the pre-COVID-19 turnover. The number of visitors during the financial year was also good: the total number of visitors was more than 95 per cent of the time before COVID-19.

There were a great number of domestic tourists in Lapland despite the COVID-19 period and, this spring, international tourists also began to return to our destinations: the pre-booking situation for summer 2022 was particularly good for international tourists. Demand has been high especially in Britain, France and the Benelux countries. On the other hand, the number of tourists from Asia was low, which especially affected the number of visitors in Santa Claus Office and SnowVillage.

The biggest challenges of the season were getting our entire operation and organisation up and running after more than 20 months of silence as well as the stronger than expected demand. For example, many activities, such as Rovaniemi's traditional river boats, made a return this spring. More extensive equipment rental has been available to tourists in several of our destinations. It is possible to rent bikes as well as kayaks and canoes, but also camping equipment from tents to rucksacks. Renting makes traveling easier and is also an ecological and sustainable way of travelling.

In the winter, the restrictions and constant changes that came with the COVID-19 situation brought challenges. It created a lot of pressure on our employees, who had to be flexible in the midst of constant changes. However, we survived the challenges well, which can be seen in the excellent level of customer satisfaction (NPS 85% and survey result 4.75/5).

During the financial year, we also managed to fill 98 per cent of the available seasonal jobs, even though the entire tourism industry was plagued by a staff shortage. With the help of our own guide training programme, we were able to ensure the adequacy of competent staff, which is the basis for, among other things, ensuring customer safety. Despite the challenging season, 88 per cent of the seasonal employees who responded to our staff survey were willing to return next season.

In the financial year, we also received further increased the sustainability of our operations: In the spring, Lapland Safaris together with the entire Lapland Hotels chain received the EcoCompass certificate, which is proof of comprehensive development of environmental responsibility. At Lapland Safaris, we make sure that all our snowmobile safaris run only on official routes, for example. We also use more environmentally friendly four-stroke snowmobiles and the emissions of all snowmobile safaris have been compensated. Cooperation with rescue authorities in monitoring snowmobile safaris is also extremely important to ensure the safety of customers.

Ravintolarajoitukset.

Lapland Hotels -konsernin yhteistoimintaneuvottelut ovat reagointia voimassa oleviin ravintolarajoituksiin ja niiden jatkumiseen sekä varautumista mahdollisiin uusiin, entistä tiukempiin rajoituksiin.

KUVA: Tiina Somerpuro

Sopeuttamistoimet koskevat yhtiöiden koko henkilöstöä, yhteensä noin 1 300 työntekijää. Yt-menettelyllä tavoitellaan enintään 90 päivän lomautuksia ilman irtisanomisia.

Looking for the Northern Lights in the wilderness with Visit Lapland Tours

As the evening darkens, we arrive at a lantern-lit kota-hut in Pattaskivalo. We sit by the fire on the cosy reindeer skins and hear the guide telling stories about local history and the present. At the same time, we enjoy hot berryjuice and a delicious piece of Lappish dark salmon bread, reindeer pie and fried sausage.

Under the light of lanterns, you can walk in the surrounding forest. In a snowmobile sleigh, you can safely get deeper into the forest. If the solar winds have been favourable and the sky is cloudless, you can get to see the Northern Lights show offered by nature in the northern sky. That leaves no one cold.

Pattaskivalo is one of the best places to see the Northern Lights in the Rovaniemi area, as there is no light pollution nor noise.

If you need, you can get warm overalls, boots, a beanie and gloves from us for the trip. Please arrive half an hour before departure time to get the clothes.

Price: 135€, children 95€

Joyfully in a wintry forest

Welcome to join us for an outdoor time in the forest! The program includes listening to silence in a snowy forest, walking on snowshoes, sliding on a sled and pancakes by campfire. This is what Visit Lapland truly is. 

In the morning, daylight begins to brighten as soon as the tour begins, and on the afternoon excursion you can experience the blue moment, i.e. the time when nature is completely colored in blue twilight. There are three cozy huts in the area, where we sit in the warmth of the fire on soft reindeer skins enjoying hot berryjuice, pancakes and fried sausages while hearing stories about Lapland and its nature. This trip is done in a small group. Welcome to join us in creating unique memories!
