2 Day Lapland Package

Day 1: Arctic Wildlife & Aurora Hunt

Morning:

Pickup from your Rovaniemi accommodation around 9:30. The day begins with a guided trip to Ranua Wildlife Park. As you walk through the snowy forest, you’ll see more than 50 Arctic species — the polar bears are a highlight. Visitors often spot lynx, wolverines, owls, and many other northern animals. During the break, a hearty Finnish campfire lunch is served.

Afternoon:

Return to Rovaniemi by 15:00; enjoy a brief rest.

Evening (approx 19:30):

Embark on a Northern Lights Group Tour with Guarantee View. Our expert guide will drive until we find clear skies – no distance or time limits! Bundle up in provided thermal gear and watch the aurora borealis dance if weather permits. Around a warm campfire, grill sausages and sip hot berry juice as your guide shares Lappish stories. With a bit of luck, the Northern Lights will appear – and we’ll capture the moment in photos for you. (If Mother Nature hides the auroras tonight, don’t worry – you have another chance tomorrow!)

Day 2: Local Traditions, Choose Your Adventure & Second Aurora Chance

Morning:

The second day starts at 8:30 with a visit to a Traditional Reindeer Farm in the countryside. Here you’ll meet the gentle reindeer and their herders. During the visit, guests learn about Lappish reindeer husbandry and everyday traditions. A short 500-metre sleigh ride through the snowy forest is included. Feeding the reindeer with their favourite lichen makes for wonderful photos. Finally, warm up by the fire in a cosy lakeside hut and listen to stories from the herder family.

Midday:

Return to town by lunchtime (lunch on your own, guide can recommend spots).

Afternoon:

Choose your adventure (3 hours). We offer three options so you can tailor the day. You can decide the option when booking; all are similar length and include hot beverages.

• Snowmobile Safari: Zip across frozen lakes and forest trails on a guided snowmobile tour. An exciting ride for thrill-seekers (2 people per snowmobile, with children sitting in a sleigh).
• Husky Sledding: Visit a local husky kennel for a husky safari. Mush your own team of dogs on a 5-10 km trail, feeling the rush as eager huskies glide through the snow. Meet the adorable pups and learn how they are trained.
• Ice Fishing Adventure: Try a favorite Finnish pastime: ice fishing on a frozen lake. With your guide, drill a hole and drop a line; patience might reward you with a catch! Enjoy the peace of Lapland wilderness and grill any catch over an open fire.

Evening:

After dusk, we head out for a second Northern Lights hunting night. This improves your chances significantly – we’ll explore a new route or location this time, based on the latest aurora forecasts. With luck, the skies will unveil the aurora’s green arcs for a breathtaking finale to your trip. (If you already saw auroras on Day 1, tonight is an opportunity for more photos or simply enjoy another night in nature.)

Note: This 2-day itinerary is packed with experience. We can adjust the pacing if needed (for example, start later on Day 2 if you prefer a relaxed morning). Families with young children might swap the afternoon of Day 2 for a calmer activity or a visit to Santa Claus Village instead (tell us your preference).

Note: Minimum 2 adults required to run this package. Children are welcome (recommended age 5+ for late night aurora outings). Northern Lights sightings cannot be guaranteed, but our tours have a very high success rate and even include a guarantee policy– if you don’t see lights, we offer a re-hunt or partial refund (per our terms). Snowmobile option: driver must have a valid driving license. Husky option: two people per sled (can swap driver halfway). Ice fishing option: requires ability to walk ~500m on lake ice. We reserve the right to modify the order of activities (or slightly adjust timing) for weather or operational reasons, ensuring you still get all listed experiences.
