Finland Tours in Winter

It was a once in a lifetime trip to be in the arctic, see reindeer in wild and experience outdoors adventures - and of course the experience of seeing the Northern Lights. We were lucky - the sky was clear! Make sure you prepare thought - very very cold!!!

This was our first tour with Trafalgar, and it truly exceeded our expectations. was outstanding — always keeping us informed and comfortable. was excellent as well; he was punctual, patient, helpful with our luggage, and made us feel safe with his driving. guided us during snowshoeing and aurora hunting, and he was wonderful. Our snowmobile guides also took great care of us. The Aurora dinner was nice, though we grew tired standing by the firepit too long, and the sled ride might have been better scheduled earlier. Our husky adventure, however, was exceptional. , our guide in Stockholm, was amazing, knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging. Overall, the trip was smooth, well organized, and memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better team or a better first experience with Trafalgar.

A well organized Arctic adventure, featuring snowmobiling, snowshoeing, dog sledding, a visit to an ice hotel, a reindeer farm and an Arctic zoo. It was great to learn about the Sami people, church towns as well as the history and features of Finland and Sweden.

Awesome trip! Everything went smoothly and we got to do all the fun stuff in Lapland. Weather cooperated, flights were uneventful, accommodations wonderful. Best of all, our Tour Manager and all those associated with the trip were incredible!!! Lots of passion for what they do!

First time snowshoeing and I’m already hooked! ❄️ Huge thanks to our guide Joonas for giving us the confidence to explore the Finnish wilderness – crossing frozen lakes, trekking through snow-laden forests, navigating tiny bridges over fast-flowing rapids, and sinking into snow up to our knees! What an unforgettable adventure! Basecamp Oulanka itself is a true highlight of this trip – a magical setting where you can step right out of your cabin and into an adventure, with hiking, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing at your doorstep! The camp itself is so well-equipped and has every comfort. The cabins are cosy and warm. The main lodge has lots of comfy corners to sit and enjoy a hot drink from the complimentary tea and coffee station after a hike or sit by the fire in the evenings. The sauna and hot tub became part of our daily routine after active days out. I was also impressed by the kit that Basecamp provide, you literally could come with the basics and they will give you everything you need for the whole week. I found the snow boots and snowshoes themselves very comfortable!

Fantastic experience. Dog Sled ride was my favorite. The Northern Lights were spectacular on our last night in the Kakslauttanen Resort. Helsinki is a beautiful city with very friendly people. LOVED this trip!
