THE BEST OF THE NORTH, HANDPICKED

Discover carefully curated activities from local operators — all in one place, ready to explore and book.

CHOSEN FOR A REASON

We look beyond the obvious to find activities with a real sense of place — experiences worth making part of your trip.

The North has no shortage of things to do. Finding the experiences truly worth your time is another matter.

The Guides brings together a carefully considered selection of activities from local operators. We look for experiences with character, quality and a genuine connection to the place around them.

Some are iconic. Others are unexpected. Every one is chosen to help you experience more of the North — and spend less time searching for it.

Santa Claus Village Guided Tour & Photo Memories

€118.00

Meet Santa, cross the Arctic Circle line, and explore his official village with a personal guide who captures picture-perfect memories for you.

Santa Claus Village is a perfect family destination with loads of fun things to do — get ready for an unforgettable visit!

We'll start by picking you up from your hotel in Rovaniemi or from our office, then take a short ride to Santa Claus Village, where your friendly guide becomes your personal Santa's helper — showing you the village's best spots and taking wonderful pictures of you, which we'll send you later that day.

First stop is Santa's Post Office, where his little helpers are always busy. Then it's on to the Arctic Circle line itself, where you can step across it while your guide captures the moment.

You'll also see the Roosevelt Cottage, the oldest building in Santa Claus Village, built in 1950 for Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt's visit to the Arctic Circle — a neat piece of history.

When you get hungry, grab a snack or meal at one of the village restaurants (own cost). Afterwards you'll have free time to explore on your own — browse souvenir shops or visit the reindeer farm for a small extra fee.

We'll wrap up your Christmas adventure with a comfy ride back to your accommodation in Rovaniemi — come to the official hometown of Santa Claus and make it extra special.

What to bring

  • We provide overalls and boots — please come prepared with good under-layers, warm socks, a hat, and gloves

Rovaniemi: Guaranteed Northern Lights - Small Group

€179.00

Small-group aurora hunt from Rovaniemi with DSLR photography included and a 100% money-back guarantee if lights don't show.

Your experience

Join a small-group Northern Lights hunt from Rovaniemi with a local guide who tracks aurora forecasts, cloud cover, and geomagnetic activity in real time, driving as far as needed — sometimes 350+ km across Lapland — to find clear skies, with professional DSLR photography included and a 100% money-back guarantee if the lights don't appear.

Pick-up

Your guide picks you up from your accommodation, usually between 17:00 and 19:00, and gives a short introduction to the evening, including where you'll be driving and what to expect.

The hunt for clear skies

Your guide continuously checks aurora forecasts, cloud coverage, solar activity, and geomagnetic conditions, adjusting the route in real time. This stage can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours, and if needed the group will drive 350+ km across Lapland to reach clear skies.

Northern Lights and photography

Once you're under clear skies, it's time to enjoy the aurora. Your guide captures the moment on a high-quality DSLR camera so you can focus on watching the lights.

Drive back and drop-off

After the show, the group heads back toward Rovaniemi and everyone is dropped off at their accommodation. Total tour length is typically 4–10 hours, depending on weather and aurora activity.

What to bring

  • Warm hat

  • Insulated gloves

  • Warm winter jacket

What to wear

Dress in warm layers for the Arctic night: bring a warm hat, insulated gloves, and a warm winter jacket.
