Good evening experiences sell out weeks ahead in December and the great ones go first. Here are 10 to book early, what each includes, and how they differ once you read past the headline.
Cruise Helsinki’s islands at twilight, pass Suomenlinna, enjoy sea air, and see the capital’s shoreline from a comfortable boat for $30.

Ride a snowmobile through Lapland at night, warm by a campfire, and hunt for Northern Lights on this practical Rovaniemi tour.
“Jakub was our guide for this 3 hr adventure on Christmas day night. My 3 adult kids and myself were all amazed at the personalized conversations. He got to know each member of the group of 11. Remembered where we traveled from and interacted with all of us. We cooked sausages and marshmallows on the fire he made. We drank a special Christmas juice he made for us. Told us numerous stories about the northern lights, reindeer, folklore, and their culture. This was a very special adventure for our family to visit Santa Claus Holiday Village. Jakub from Apukka resorts was incredible. Thank you for helping make this Christmas a…”
Ride a reindeer sleigh through Lapland’s snowy forest, warm up by a bonfire, and watch for the northern lights near Rovaniemi.
“This was my favourite activity we did during our stay- admittedly we were lucky enough to see the northern lights mid sleigh ride! Our Guide (I think Ant Sophie/ sorry if wrong) was excellent and made us feel so at ease and was so welcoming with information about the reindeers. The reindeers get very close but they were calm. - wrap up warm it gets chilly towards the end! Apukka was the best operator we used also! Top marks all round!”
Ride a snowmobile through Rovaniemi’s dark Arctic forest, warm up by a campfire, and watch for Northern Lights with Safartica.
“Our motorbike’s suspension failed and guide Atto did everything he could to let us continue our night. Including lending us his snowmobile and then staying by ours waiting for the support team to arrive at -16c degrees. What a trooper!”
Snowshoe through Lapland at night, warm by a Finnish fire, and watch for Northern Lights on a small-group Rovaniemi adventure.
“Belle activité. Ciel magnifique. Guide génial. Bémol, l'activité raquette est un peu courte et assez simple : balade dans une forêt à peine 1h. Le temps de trajet vers le lieu d'activité est de 35'. Le temps de trajet est plus long que l'activité. Le réconfort près du feu est intéressant mais se fait à la fin dans un yourth sur le parking...”
Trek Lapland’s snowy forest by snowshoe, look for grouse and reindeer signs, and watch for Northern Lights with warm drinks included.
“We had an amazing experience, no northern lights, but lots of snow and fun! :)”
