5.00Our experience night skiing with Kyle was hands-down the highlight of our Rovaniemi trip. It was just my friend and I on the experience, and by the end of the night it really felt like we were all old friends. Kyle's passion for showcasing the beautiful scenery via nighttime skiing was palpable; he prepared us for the skiing with handwarmers and gloves, showed us how to use the skis, went skiing at a slow pace (I had never been on skis before), and constantly checked in on us to make sure we were comfortable. However, Kyle's enthusiasm also extended far beyond the skiing portion. He prepared a fire for us to warm up afterwards, brought us special vegetarian food and drink, and even warmed up the car for us at the end. I cannot recommend Kyle enough for this once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thank you again Kyle! We'll definitely be back.
Best decision of my life

5.00I tried the tour with Kyle in the daytime twice this year already, I loved it so much that I wanted to try the night time tour as well. I made one of the best decisions of my life. The tour was amazing, a whole new experience in the dark. Kyle was helpful throughout the tour of course and also gave us some sausages at the end. Best thing you can do in Lapland!!
Großartige Langlauftour

5.00The cross-country skiing tour with Kyle was simply incredible. We had a fantastic time in the Finnish forests with a wonderful tour guide who is so passionate and enthusiastic about his job, nature, and sharing the beauty of silence with us. The three of us went on a private tour from shelter to shelter. Despite our skiing experience, we would say that even beginners could easily manage this tour. We finished with a campfire where we enjoyed sausages and hot blueberry juice. As absolute nature lovers, we highly recommend this tour, as it isn't like all the other tours on offer, which are overly touristy and rushed through, but rather presents Finland with genuine passion and authenticity.
BOOK THIS ADVENTURE!!!!

5.00Just an absolute wonderful experience. My husband and I did the night time trek, and it was the best part of our whole trip! It was just us and Kyle, and Kyle really tailored the walk to what fit us best. He had stops along the way with small surprises, and at the very end he really surprised us! I don’t want to give anything away! :) All the small things he did were very much appreciated. He took AMAZING pictures for us so that we didn't have to worry with our phones. Everyone visiting Rovaniemi should book this once in a lifetime adventure!

5.00Our group took this night ski tour during solar storm and we managed to see the most amazing northern lights. Kyle is a very skilled tour guide, and took many pictures for us. It was dark in the forest, but we had lamps, felt safe and well taken care of! Really once in a lifetime kind of experience. Thank you!
A great authentic Nordic adventure.

5.00If you want to experience a more authentic night in Rovaniemi (not chasing a northern light), the Arctic Fox is the best option! Kyle (the tour guide) is knowledgeable, fun, and super nice; he teaches how to ski kindly and patiently, and you can also learn Finnish culture and Finnish style of enjoying nature from him. I believe if you join this tour, it will be the most memorable night you spent in Rovaniemi, no matter if you see the northern light or not.

5.00An incredible experience, a guide at the top. We had the chance to do a beautiful ski course in the forest and on the frozen lake and we could see aurora borealis. Everything was perfect. I recommend 100%! This is the best way to visit and discover the magic of Lapland
A peaceful ski adventure in nature!

5.00Our ski tour with Kyle was an unforgettable adventure, combining excitement with the peace of nature. We started by gliding through a dense, then clear forest, surrounded by silence, except for the sound of our skis on fresh snow. The path eventually opened into wide, snowy landscapes, offering breathtaking views and a true sense of freedom. Kyle was an amazing guide, always suggesting multiple itineraries suited to our level. As we reached the lake, what a surprise—it was the perfect moment to witness the northern lights dancing above, a half moon glowing, and a sky full of stars. Truly magical! We ended the night by a fire on Kyle’s private beach, enjoying sausage and blueberry juice. The warmth of the fire and the peaceful surroundings made for a perfect finish. Thanks again, Kyle, for this unforgettable moment!
