One Week of Arctic Wonders in Rovaniemi
Spend a full week in Lapland and experience everything this winter paradise offers!
Our 7-day complete package in Rovaniemi is a carefully balanced mix of adventure, culture, wildlife, and relaxation.
You’ll chase the Northern Lights multiple times, visit Santa Claus and Arctic wildlife, drive a snowmobile, mush huskies, break ice on an icebreaker, and even have time to unwind in a sauna or explore on your own. Designed for travelers who want an all-inclusive Lapland itinerary without rush, this 7-day package is great for families and luxury seekers alike.
7-Day Complete Lapland Holiday
- 7 days
- Facile
- Minimum age:-
Day 1
Arrival
Arrival in Rovaniemi – private transfer to hotel.
Evening:
Welcome dinner and orientation. If sky is clear, short Northern Lights walk or campfire near hotel (light program, as many flights arrive late).
Day 2
Santa Claus & City Sights
Morning:
Start with the classics. Morning visit to Village du Père Noël (meet Santa, cross the Arctic Circle, Christmas shopping).
Afternoon:
Rovaniemi city tour (with guide or self-guided) – see landmarks like Rovaniemi Church, Arktikum Museum (tickets included), and local shops.
Evening:
Northern Lights Hunt #1 – Aurora chasing by car to get the first opportunity for Northern Lights. (We schedule 3 aurora tours in 7 nights spread out on optimal days.)
Day 3
Arctic Animals & Culture
Morning:
Guided trip to Ranua Wildlife Park to see Arctic fauna (polar bears, etc.), including lunch.
Afternoon:
On return, visit the Arctic Circle Husky Park or a local Sami handicraft workshop (to add a cultural element – e.g., meet a Sami artisan, see traditional clothing, reindeer antler crafts).
Evening:
Free or optional aurora activity (maybe Aurora Borealis photography workshop where an expert teaches you how to photograph Northern Lights, then you go outside your hotel if lights appear).
Day 4
Adventure Day – Husky Safari & Snowmobiling
Morning:
Long Husky Safari (e.g. 15km trail, about 2 hours mushing) for the ultimate dogsled experience, through varied terrain with stunning views.
Afternoon:
After lunch, gear up for an Afternoon Snowmobile Safari to a remote wilderness lodge. At the lodge, enjoy coffee and pulla (Finnish pastry). Snowmobile back at sunset – an exhilarating ride in changing light. (If a family or those not keen can swap snowmobile for horse-drawn sleigh ride as a calmer option – we note this flexibility.)
Evening:
Northern Lights Hunt #2 – Another chance at auroras, perhaps this time via a Snowmobile Northern Lights safari (riding snowmobiles at night to a viewpoint or a Aurora snowshoe hike – we can tailor to preference. After two attempts, hopefully you’ve seen the Lights by now, but if not we still have one more later.
Day 5
Ice Adventure & Relaxation
Morning:
Long Husky Safari (e.g. 15km trail, about 2 hours mushing) for the ultimate dogsled experience, through varied terrain with stunning views.
Afternoon:
After lunch, gear up for an Afternoon Snowmobile Safari to a remote wilderness lodge. At the lodge, enjoy coffee and pulla (Finnish pastry). Snowmobile back at sunset – an exhilarating ride in changing light. (If a family or those not keen can swap snowmobile for horse-drawn sleigh ride as a calmer option – we note this flexibility.)
Evening:
Northern Lights Hunt #2 – Another chance at auroras, perhaps this time via a Snowmobile Northern Lights safari (riding snowmobiles at night to a viewpoint or a Aurora snowshoe hike – we can tailor to preference. After two attempts, hopefully you’ve seen the Lights by now, but if not we still have one more later.
Day 6
Wilderness Exploration
Morning to Afternoon:
Head to the Korouoma Canyon for the frozen waterfalls hike (family-friendly version unless group wants a more challenging trek). Enjoy nature, picnic lunch by fire. Alternatively, in place of Korouoma (especially if some already did it or prefer less physical), do a Wilderness Survival Workshop in a closer forest: learn to build a fire, try ice fishing on a small lake, snowshoe short distance, etc. This is more participatory and educational. We can decide based on group interest.
Evening:
Farewell Northern Lights Hunt #3 – Last night, one final aurora chase to maximize chances. This could even be a Private tour upgrade as a treat (since it’s the last night, perhaps go with a private guide to a specific spot or even an overnight aurora camp). With three attempts across the week, the odds are high you’ll have caught the Northern Lights at least once – if you did earlier, this can be just a fun night drive and enjoying the Arctic night one more time.
Day 7
Departure Day
A week in Lapland comes to an end.
Morning:
Depending on your departure time, we can include a short activity in the morning: for example, a last-minute snowman building with the kids, a quick reindeer ride if someone missed it, or shopping in town for souvenirs. Transfer to Rovaniemi Airport for your flight. Kiitos! (thank you) and farewell with Santa’s blessing.
- All transfers (including to Kemi and other excursion sites).
- Tours/Activities: Santa Claus Village tour, Ranua Wildlife Park entry and tour, Husky safaris (short and long), Reindeer farm visit, Snowmobile safaris (daytime + optional night), Icebreaker cruise with floating, Korouoma hike (or alt. wilderness day), 3 Aurora night tours (mix of methods).
- Guiding throughout – many tours will be private or semi-private given the length (we can assign a main guide to accompany the family for multiple days to build rapport, which luxury travelers value).
- Winter clothing for all outdoor tours.
- Meals: Ensure at least one meal per day is included either in an activity or provided – e.g., daily breakfast is by hotel (not in package by default), but we include lunch on Ranua day, lunch on husky day, lunch on Kemi day, lunch on Korouoma day, so roughly 5-6 meals included.
All taxes and handling fees.
- Accommodation (7 nights) – to be handled separately. However, at this length, many may ask for a full package with hotel. We should be prepared to offer a quote with accommodation. We can mention: “Accommodation is not included in the base price, but we can include it upon request. Options: family-friendly hotels, luxury chalets, or even a night in a glass igloo at the Arctic Snow Hotel or Apukka Resort for example.” This allows upselling and serves luxury clients.
- Dinners (except the ones explicitly included like the welcome dinner).
- Flights to/from Lapland.
- Any travel visa fees, etc.
- Travel insurance.
Personal expenses (snacks, alcohol, shopping).
Arrival in Rovaniemi – private transfer to hotel.
Evening:
Welcome dinner and orientation. If sky is clear, short Northern Lights walk or campfire near hotel (light program, as many flights arrive late).
Remarque : This 7-day itinerary is very flexible. It’s essentially a private guided tour spread over a week. We can rearrange days (e.g., if weather looks bad for a certain day’s plan, we’ll shuffle activities – one advantage of booking a week package with us!). There is also some built-in leisure time so it doesn’t feel too rushed – important for families with kids and anyone who wants to also enjoy their hotel amenities. We mention that explicitly: “We design the schedule to include some downtime, so you can enjoy a fireplace evening or a short ski on your own, etc. If you prefer non-stop action, we can fill every day from dawn to dusk too!” This communicates that the package can be as relaxing or busy as they want.
Also, highlight any special experiences unique to a long stay: e.g., “During the week, you’ll have a chance to learn a few Finnish words, taste local cuisine (we recommend trying sautéed reindeer and Lappish salmon soup), and truly bond with our guides – you’ll feel like a Laplander by the end!” Such narrative adds warmth to the sales pitch.

We do not run short “city loops”. Our Aurora hunts have no strict time or distance limits. If clear skies require long driving, we go for it.
Yes. Your guide takes professional photos during the Aurora tours, and they are sent to you digitally the next day at no extra cost.
Day 1 – Arrival & Welcome Evening
You arrive in Rovaniemi and get a private transfer to your hotel. In the evening you’ll have a welcome dinner and orientation, and if the sky is clear, a light Northern Lights walk or campfire near your accommodation (perfect if flights arrive late).
It’s a soft start day. The goal is to settle in, avoid rushing, and still have a chance to see the Aurora if conditions allow.
Day 2 – Santa Claus & City Sights + Aurora Hunt #1
You’ll visit Santa Claus Village with time to:
Meet Santa Claus
Cross the Arctic Circle line
Explore shops & the atmosphere

Yes. You’ll do a full-day trip to Kemi for the Icebreaker cruise, which includes:
Icebreaker experience on the frozen sea
Floating in survival suits
Lunch (on board or during the excursion)

frozen waterfalls
a campfire/picnic lunch
