Excellent trip in the wonderful outdoors!
- Midnight Sun – 7 Days in Lapland
Lorenzo was absolutely terrific!!! He is the best guide that we have ever had and we have traveled around the world.Lorenzo provided us with fantastic opportunities to see the best of Lapland! We are so glad that we signed up for the bear watch tour!!! That was the highlight of our trip!! Getting to see Bugoynes, Norway was an opportunity to see a town where King crab is king. What a special trip that was! Enroute through Finland, we saw at least 75 reindeer- most shared the road with us. Lorenzo is a superb driver who spotted all wildlife far in advance. We even got to photograph a red fox!!! My mother was born in Tampere, Finland. After a trip with Lorenzo- I truly saw Finland- its beauty and its animals. I am indebted to Lorenzo!
Most popular destinations in Finland
Lapland pulls you right into its winter magic with activities our TourRadar customers talk about again and again. You'll get to lead your own team of huskies through snowy forests or take it slow behind reindeer across quiet white landscapes - these are the experiences that really make the trip special. Many of our travelers have caught the Northern Lights dancing across the Arctic sky, and while Santa's Village in Rovaniemi is worth visiting, you'll want to time it right to avoid the biggest crowds. The sweet spot for winter activities runs from December through March, with January and February giving you the best shot at seeing those lights. We've found that 3-4 days lets you soak in the full experience, and travelers especially love staying in glass igloos or ice hotels for that real Arctic feeling.
See all Lapland toursArctic expeditions come in two distinct varieties that our travelers keep telling us about. If you're drawn to Greenland's dramatic scenery, you'll paddle past massive icebergs in crystal waters and walk across ancient glaciers with professional equipment - the sound of ice crunching beneath your feet is something quite special. The other option takes you down the Dempster Highway where the Arctic wilderness really shows itself through regular wildlife sightings and endless tundra stretching to the horizon. You should know these aren't luxury tours - expect basic camping conditions, pack essential gear like headlamps for moving around after dark and plan for simple but genuine Arctic meals. Our past guests particularly love photographing wildlife in their natural habitat, especially polar bears, and many can't stop talking about experiencing the midnight sun during summer trips.

Travel Finland your way
For travelers seeking to discover Finland's winter wonders, our explorer tours offer remarkable experiences in Lapland. One popular option takes you through Helsinki's historic quarters before boarding the Santa Claus Express train to Rovaniemi. You'll sleep under starlit skies while searching for the Northern Lights from a secluded forest guesthouse. Our customers particularly enjoy the hands-on elements - commanding their own husky sled teams through snowy trails and learning traditional reindeer herding techniques at Finnish farms. Another top choice focuses on the pristine wilderness around Kuusamo, where you'll master snowshoeing across frozen lakes and through snow-laden forests. The routes are carefully chosen to showcase Finland's raw beauty, from ancient flour mills by the Myllykoski rapids to the twisted, snow-covered trees of Riisitunturi National Park.

Top operators in Finland
Based on what our travelers have shared, each of these companies brings something different to the table. Intrepid Travel runs smooth operations with interesting itineraries, though you might need a bit of patience during the booking process - their customer service team can be slow to respond at times. Nordic Unique Travels is a mixed bag. Guide Lorenzo gets high marks for his deep local knowledge and flexible approach. However, some of our guests mention communication hiccups, especially for non-English speakers, and occasional schedule confusion that needed sorting out. If you're heading to Finland in winter, Basecamp Oulanka really stands out. Their guides Eki and Martti know every trail and technique for winter activities, plus they provide top-quality gear that keeps you warm and comfortable. The food gets lots of mentions too - their kitchen team knows how to refuel hungry outdoor enthusiasts after a day in the snow. It's clear they've fine-tuned their winter programs over many years of operation. I'm noticing that across all three companies, the quality of guides makes a big difference in how people rate their experience. When you've got someone knowledgeable and adaptable leading the way, those small logistical bumps tend to matter less to travelers.

Best places to start your Finland tour
Helsinki is where most people start their Finnish journey, with about 30 of our recent tour groups kicking off from the capital before heading north. Rovaniemi (Santa's official hometown!) comes in second with 20 tour starts, and the winter sports center of Kuusamo follows with 9 tours beginning there. Finnish tours tend to fill up fast - our booking data shows you'll want to lock in your spot around 78 days ahead, especially for winter trips between November and March. If you're keen to catch the Northern Lights, our guides say September through March works best, with January and February giving you the darkest skies and most reliable weather. Summer's got its own magic though - you can experience the Midnight Sun when daylight seems endless, perfect timing for hiking through national parks or exploring Finland's thousands of lakes that dot the landscape.
Discover Finland tours for every budget
For travelers watching their budget, Finland offers several well-crafted tours that make the most of your spending. A popular 5-day option combines Helsinki's harbor districts and Senate Square with Lappeenranta's historic Old Town, giving you time to explore both cities properly. Another budget-friendly choice takes you through the Central Baltic region, where our customers loved the mix of urban and coastal experiences - from Stockholm's medieval Gamla Stan to sailing through the Åland Islands at sunrise. The hotels are centrally located in Helsinki and Tallinn's medieval quarters and also include comfortable ferry cabin accommodations. Our Finnish-speaking guides make sure you don't miss anything important in these historic cities.
When it comes to luxury experiences, Finland's winter offerings really stand out. We've got travelers raving about stays in glass igloos where they watched the Northern Lights from their beds at night. One high-end option starts your evenings with welcome cocktails in a cozy glass terrace before days filled with guided snowshoeing through enchanted forests. The facilities include private saunas by rushing rapids and hot tubs under starlit skies. Another premium winter package celebrates New Year's Eve with a gala dinner while cruising from Stockholm to Helsinki - our customers particularly enjoy having time to explore both capitals at a relaxed pace, with carefully selected 5-star accommodations throughout.

Top Finland travel itineraries to fit your plans
Our week-long Finnish tours really let you dive deep into what makes this country special. In winter, you'll head up to Rovaniemi where Santa's village is just the start - you'll actually learn to handle your own husky team and drive them across the snow. Our guides know all the best spots for seeing the Northern Lights and they're pretty handy with a camera too, helping you capture those perfect aurora shots. Come summer, the wilderness of Vaikko opens up with its quiet forests and riverside saunas. You can try your hand at ice fishing, hike through ancient woods and also take time to just sit by the rapids. What makes these tours work so well is how our guides mix active exploration with quiet moments - our travelers often mention this perfect balance in their feedback.

Another excellent option combines walking tours through Finland and Sweden - you'll hike through Nuuksio National Park's pristine forests, explore the medieval streets of Turku and discover the unique Åland Islands, where Swedish heritage meets Finnish culture. Our guides consistently receive praise for their deep knowledge of local history and skill at spotting wildlife along the trails.

Our solo travelers really connect with Finland's mix of city life and natural spaces. There's this great 5-day tour combining Helsinki with Lappeenranta - you get to explore the capital then head out for peaceful lake views.

Lots of our customers also enjoy the Helsinki-Tallinn combo tour - it's easy to move between these historic cities and you've got local guides to show you around plus nice hotels already sorted.
For couples, Finland's Northern Lights make for some seriously romantic moments. Our most popular tour puts you in heated glass igloos where you can watch the Aurora right from your bed - each one comes with its own sauna and fireplace which adds something special. Another favorite mixes classic winter activities like reindeer sledding under the lights with nights split between ice rooms and glass igloos. During summer, couples really enjoy our midnight sun tours with lakeside saunas and evening barbecues when the sun just won't set. If you want a mix of city and nature, there's this great tour combining Helsinki's urban scene with Lake Saimaa cruises - lots of our couples love watching the sunset from the boat deck.

Young adult travelers particularly enjoy our active winter adventures in Finnish Lapland.

Our travelers in this age group especially appreciate the combination of organized activities and free time to explore on their own, along with comfortable accommodations that don't break the bank. The tours often include chances to learn winter survival skills, try ice fishing and experience traditional Finnish saunas, all while meeting other like-minded travelers.
Our senior guests really appreciate how smoothly Finnish tours run. The Helsinki and South Karelia tour works perfectly - you've got easy train rides between places and hotels right in the center of things.

Families looking to experience Finland's winter magic have several well-designed tours to choose from. Our most popular family option takes you to Basecamp Oulanka, where parents tell us their kids loved learning to build snow forts and igloos with expert guides. The setup is perfect for families - kids can freely use sledges around the base camp while parents relax, and the staff provides all the winter gear you'll need. Another top pick includes husky sledding on Christmas Day, where families get to control their own team of enthusiastic dogs through 10km of snowy terrain. For those with younger children, there's a gentler option based in Rovaniemi that combines Santa's Village visits with reindeer farm experiences and family-friendly snowshoe walks.

Spring in Finland gives you the best of both - snow's still around but the days stretch longer. Our Finnish Wilderness Week really hits the mark, mixing up activities from snowshoeing in Oulanka National Park to learning proper ice climbing on frozen waterfalls. Families particularly like the spring tours because kids can try everything from reindeer sleigh rides to snow fort building, and parents tell us they appreciate how guides adjust everything to match different abilities. The Arctic tours this time of year take you to husky farms where you'll learn exactly how these amazing dogs train and live before taking them out sledding through forest trails.
