Finland · EVENING EXPERIENCES IN ROVANIEMI
Good evening experiences in Rovaniemi fill up weeks out and the best ones go first. Below: the 15 to book early, what each includes, and how they actually differ.
Rovaniemi aurora chase with hotel pickup, 3 dark-sky stops, and a cozy Lapland BBQ by the fire, plus guided photo tips.

Glide through Lapland by reindeer sleigh at night, warm up by a bonfire with stories, and chase the northern lights from Rovaniemi.
“This was my favourite activity we did during our stay- admittedly we were lucky enough to see the northern lights mid sleigh ride! Our Guide (I think Ant Sophie/ sorry if wrong) was excellent and made us feel so at ease and was so welcoming with information about the reindeers. The reindeers get very close but they were calm. - wrap up warm it gets chilly towards the end! Apukka was the best operator we used also! Top marks all round!”
3-hour night snowmobile safari from Rovaniemi with warm gear, a campfire break, Arctic stories, and a chance to spot aurora.
“Good activity, very nice staff, well suited to families with young kids. Hearing about Samis around fire and BBQ was nice too. It would be great if there was the possibility to go faster with the snowmobiles (for those who feel like it). Thank you!”
3-hour night snowshoe in Arctic Lapland from Rovaniemi, small group aurora chase, gear included, warm campfire snacks, English guide.
“Belle activité. Ciel magnifique. Guide génial. Bémol, l'activité raquette est un peu courte et assez simple : balade dans une forêt à peine 1h. Le temps de trajet vers le lieu d'activité est de 35'. Le temps de trajet est plus long que l'activité. Le réconfort près du feu est intéressant mais se fait à la fin dans un yourth sur le parking...”
Late-night Finnhorse ride in Rovaniemi’s forest, with wildlife sightings, warm drinks, and campfire stories by the stables.
“It was a nice experience. Me and one of my friend didn‘t have experience with riding horse before but the guide was always there but it was really cold. Recommend it with really warm clothes”
