Experience 1: Chasing the ✨ Arctic Northern Lights
One of the biggest reasons travelers book Lapland holidays is to witness the Northern Lights trip of a lifetime. Lapland is one of the best places on Earth to see the Arctic Northern Lights, thanks to its location above the Arctic Circle. From late August to early April, the skies often come alive with shades of green, purple, and even pink dancing overhead.
Booking your Lapland trips with a trusted local expert ensures you get the timing, location, and conditions just right. We know where to take you — whether it’s to a glass-roofed igloo in one of the top resorts in Lapland, a secluded wilderness cabin, or a heated sleigh ride under the stars. The difference between an average view and a jaw-dropping display often comes down to knowing the hidden spots away from light pollution.
Experience 2: Lapland Christmas Magic 🎄
Nothing says Lapland Christmas quite like visiting Santa Claus in Rovaniemi, his official hometown. Families, couples, and solo travelers alike find themselves swept away by the festive lights, snowy streets, and the unmistakable smell of gingerbread. But there’s more than just meeting Santa — you can ride a reindeer sleigh, bake Finnish Christmas pastries, and shop for handmade Arctic crafts.
Our tailor-made itineraries combine these experiences with stays in hotels in Finland that capture the holiday spirit — think roaring fireplaces, snow-covered forests, and cozy interiors. Whether your Nordic travel dream is to wake up to a snow-dusted wonderland or sip hot chocolate under twinkling lights, a professionally designed Lapland Christmas itinerary ensures every moment feels magical.
Experience 3: Husky Sledding Through Snowy Wilderness 🐾
If you want a story to tell for a lifetime, husky sledding is it. Glide silently over frozen lakes and through dense snow-covered forests with a team of eager huskies leading the way. This is a must for anyone on Lapland trips or Nordic travel adventures.
For the best experience, our guides take you to routes far from tourist-heavy trails, where you’ll feel the true Arctic wilderness. Combine husky sledding with a stay at boutique resorts in Lapland for an unbeatable mix of adventure and comfort. We can also fit this into multi-country itineraries — imagine a multi-country Nordic tour where you spend one day in the Finnish wilderness and the next exploring the Nordic capitals tour cities like Helsinki or Stockholm.
Experience 4: Reindeer Safari & Sami Culture 🦌
A visit to Lapland wouldn’t be complete without meeting its most iconic animal — the reindeer. During your Lapland holidays, you can join a traditional reindeer safari, led by local Sami herders who’ve cared for these animals for generations. It’s not just about the ride — you’ll learn about Sami traditions, handicrafts, and their deep connection to Arctic nature.
We make sure your Lapland trips include authentic cultural experiences, far from mass-market tours. You can also combine them with other adventures on your Scandinavian combination tour — such as exploring Norway’s fjords, relaxing in a hot springs tour, or enjoying a carefully planned Northern Europe itinerary that we’ll be happy to arrange for you.
Experience 5: Arctic Spa & Ice Swimming ❄️
Yes, it’s cold — but it’s also invigorating. In Finnish Lapland, wellness is an essential part of life. After a day of skiing or snowmobiling, relax in a wood-heated sauna before taking a dip in an ice hole. Many resorts in Lapland and hotels in Finland offer private saunas with breathtaking winter views.
Adding this to your Lapland holidays creates an unforgettable contrast — from the soothing warmth of a private sauna to the invigorating thrill of a frozen lake plunge. This perfect blend of relaxation and adventure is at the heart of every authentic Lapland trip.
