5.00Our team was very committed to searching and finding the lights. At the same time they were sharing their amazing knowledge of nature and their beloved Finland. It was a once in a lifetime experience for us. We deeply thank them both.
Long private Northern lights tour, not as well planned as hoped.

3.00Opportunity to see the Northern Lights was exciting. Van showed for private tour and no step stool or step on vehicle making it difficult to get in vehicle, especially for someone with cane. The tour was long at 7 hours plus with no planned bathroom break. When asked for bathroom break, it occurred on the side of road in trees. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate and we didn't see the Northern lights. The other tour guide asked if they could sleep on way back as they had to work the next day. They did serve hot berry juice/tea and cookies mid trip. Know what you are signing up for. Very long night, picked up at 8pm, dropped off at 3:30 am.

5.00My wife and I had an absolutely unforgettable experience with Arktictopia in Rovaniemi. Our private tour seamlessly wove together an aurora excursion, dog sleigh ride, snowshoe adventure, and ice fishing, creating a rich tapestry of Arctic experiences that exceeded all our expectations. The highlight was, of course, the aurora tour. Watching the northern lights dance in a clear, star-studded sky felt almost surreal. The private nature of the tour meant we could truly savor the moment without distractions, and our guide’s insightful commentary deepened our appreciation of the natural wonder around us. The dog sled ride was equally exhilarating. Cruising on the frozen lake with a team of spirited huskies was a heartwarming blend of adrenaline and connection to nature. Our guide not only ensured our safety but also shared fascinating stories about the local culture and the art of mushing, making the journey both fun and informative. Snowshoeing through the pristine wilderness gave us a peaceful, meditative experience, allowing us to absorb the quiet beauty of the Arctic landscape at our own pace. And when it came to ice fishing, the calm and focus required was the perfect counterbalance to the day’s more energetic activities, offering us a taste of traditional Finnish recreation. Overall, every detail was thoughtfully arranged by the Arktictopia team. Their expertise and warm hospitality transformed our adventure into a deeply personal and enriching experience. For anyone looking to immerse themselves in the magic of the Arctic with a mix of thrilling and serene activities, we wholeheartedly recommend Arktictopia in Rovaniemi.

5.00The experience is wonderful, the opportunity to see this beauty in the sky as well, but what is important is when it is done with professionals like those from Arctictopia. I recommend this wonderful team for doing their best to deliver on their promises. Thank you.
