Finland & Northern Lights

Arrival

Upon your arrival into Kittilä airport, you will be met by our representative for a comfortable transfer to your hotel, Aurora Estate. Once arrived, take the rest of the day to unwind, relax and acclimatize.

Enjoy your first evening in Lapland. With no light pollution and no noise you can truly feel the beauty of the Arctic night, admire the night sky and hopefully see the Northern Lights. Hear the silence of the wilderness and breathe in the cleanest air in Europe. Any clear night, grab a blanket and something warm to drink, sled or walk down to the lake and watch for the Northern Lights.

Husky ride

On the Husky Intro we head to the farm either by bus or snowmobile. Meet the mushers and learn from them how everything works. Once we are all up to speed we will head out on a 9 km husky ride through pristine, snow-covered wilderness. When we get back to the farm you will have a chance to ask all the questions you’ve been wondering about whilst we sit around a warm fire and enjoy some hot drinks and cookies.

Reindeer & Snow Village Medley

Take time to be astounded by just a few of the wonders Lapland has to offer, Reindeer farm AND the Snow village in one tour. We will start off by heading to the reindeer farm by bus. Once we are there we will meet the farm owners who will treat us to an amazing experience on their reindeer farm. Lassoing, harnessing, sleigh riding and feeding are just some of the things we will get to try. At the end we will sit down in a warm cabin with coffee or tea and listen to how life is for the Sami, based around the reindeer year. From there we will make our way over the Lainio river to the spectacular Snow village where we can walk around and admire the ice sculptures and ingenuity in and around the snow village. We will finish off by sitting down in their warm restaurant for a hearty soup lunch before heading back.

Snowmobiling & Ice Fishing

Ever fancied drilling a hole in the ice and dropping a baited hook through to see what happens? That’s Ice Fishing! We ride out to the lake by snowmobile where your guide will teach you all you need to know about ice fishing. Once the lesson is done, its your turn. Clear the snow, drill your hole, bait up and fish! Arctic Char perhaps or maybe Perch… Who knows. While you endeavour to outwit the aquatic life, your guide will be happily preparing a fire and something warm to drink. If you land a big one, you could grill it over the fire or even take it home for dinner. Either way we will have sausages and other food for you to indulge in.

Levi Igloos

Today, enjoy a private transfer from Aurora Estate to Levi Igloos, where you will spend the rest of the da to relax and enjoy the surrounding nature.

Levi at leisure

Day at leisure to explore the charming village of Levi, you can rent ski and go down hill or cross country skiing, visit local shops and learn more about the local handicrafts.
