Tour Rovaniemi’s Arctic SnowHotel, sit on ice chairs, and enjoy a three-course Lappish dinner with transfers and free time.

“The snow hotel is absolutely amazing! I cannot believe they build it in three weeks! We had dinner in the restaurant which was both amazing as an experience, and the food was truly delicious! Our waitress was absolutely fabulous had a great sense of humour and was very accommodating and taking photographs et cetera. The tour of the rooms within the hotel was totally amazing! I cannot believe every single room is completely different and absolutely amazing. The ice chapel is gorgeous and the ice bar is definitely somewhere to have a drink. Bizarrely it’s much warmer in the ice hotel than it was the whole week we were there……”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 16 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $298

Guide Father’s private Rovaniemi safari pairs a quiet reindeer forest ride with a three-course lunch in a warm glass igloo.

“We had an incredible afternoon on our private tour with Alex and The Guide Father! From start to finish, everything was thoughtfully arranged and so much fun for our whole family. Since our 4-year-old is too small to ride a snowmobile, we were able to ride in a heated sleigh instead — what an experience! Gliding through the snowy landscape all cozy and warm felt magical. My husband and I were also able to trade off, which meant I got the chance to drive a snowmobile myself — such a thrill! Lapland is truly a breathtaking winter wonderland, and this tour was the perfect way to explore more of it.…”

“Safartica is an extremely professional company with excellent equipment and the most incredible guides. For this tour, they provide everything from overalls to boots including socks, and balaclava. You just need to show up and they take care of you. We were a group of 11 and had 2 guides Alessandro and Valentina. Both were very knowledgeable, caring and friendly. I want to especially thank Alessandro - my wife was a solo driver and for some reason her snowmobile wasn't going as fast as others even with full throttle. But he was so sweet that he stayed back with her, didn't rush her at all and made sure to keep…”

Tour the Arctic SnowHotel near Rovaniemi, see ice rooms and sculptures, try a kick sled, and enjoy free time at Finland’s coolest hotel.

“Honestly although the snow hotel is worth seeing I would not book this trip. Over priced, under whelming. Trip started by us needing to be at our location in the city centre at 16:25 which we were. Nothing happend till 16.55 when 2 buses arrived with the snowhotel destination on them. By this point there were lots of people with 16:25 and 16:50 times on their information. It was then a nightmare no one knew what bus to get we went to one with our ticket to be told our name was not on the list and he would not let us board even though we had the ticket. So…”
