About this trip

Why go?

Visiting Finnish Lapland offers a magical winter experience. The region becomes a snow-covered wonderland, perfect for unique activities like dog sledding, snowmobiling, and  Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights). December’s long nights provide excellent chances to witness the stunning Northern Lights.

The celestial dance of lights, known as Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights, is a phenomena as old as Earth’s atmosphere. The first record of Aurora Borealis is believed to be in a 30,000-year-old cave painting in France. Since then, cultures around the world have marveled at its magic, giving rise to many fascinating legends and folklore. 

On this trip, you can also immerse yourself in Sami culture, with reindeer farms and traditional crafts. Rovaniemi, the official hometown of Santa Claus, adds festive charm with Christmas markets and the Santa Claus Village. Whether for adventure, culture, or the beauty of winter, Lapland in December is an unforgettable destination. 

How to get there?

- Kittila can easily be reached via a direct flight from Helsinki and there are also plenty of flights leaving every day to ovarious other European cities. 

- If you want an adventure, there is also the option of catching the train from Helsinki to Rovaniemi and then catching a bus from Rovaniemi to Levi

This is a great way to escape the city hustle for a day (or longer) and surround yourself with beautiful, calming nature. Our guide Elizabeth was friendly and knowledgeable about the trail. I also met some fun and interesting people along the way. Highly recommend – I’m already planning my next hike with them.

Van Gogh Hiking. Perfect bright sunny day walking at Auvers-sur-Oise by Garrett. More like a stroll. Very easy going. Wandered about the beautiful french village. Garrett had good stories on Van Gogh life in the village. Even brought sun flower for VG grave site. Garrett could be more attentive to all members of the group. Overall, a nice day paying respect to VG.

Wooooooooowwww!

What a trip! First time traveling with a group, and I couldn't possibly have had a better experience. Maddy was so kind and knowledgeable, and kept the activities moving at the perfect pace. Never a dull moment. The accommodation was spot on--location and vibe were perfect. We stayed in Alta, NW for the Northern Lights Trip, and boy did it deliver. It had it all--aurora borealis, wildlife (WHALES! Foxes, reindeer, sea otters, puffins), the scenic fjords, sea cliffs, and tundra. And of course, being able to share the experience with with a group wonderful people really made this a core memory. Same time next year? ✌️

J'ai vécu une merveilleuse expérience en Norvège.
Notre guide Maddy nous a proposé de belles activités comme voir les orques et baleines ou une balade en chiens de traineaux.

During the 2023 Christmas time, I went to hike in Mallorca, and I had a great time. The scenery in Mallorca is very beautiful. Particularly, when hiking along the route, you can see beautiful mountains, beautiful Mediterranean Sea, and Spanish houses. The blue sky, the fresh air, the light, the buildings, the mountains, ... All the scenes made me feel very calm and comfortable. During the hiking route, we visited Spanish towns, ate Spanish food, enjoyed the beach of the Mediterranean, it’s such a rich hiking trip. And every night we tasted food from different countries, all are very delicious! I thank our guide, thank friends in the group, it’s a wonderful hiking trip!!!

My Finland Northern Lights trip was overall a good experience, made especially smooth by the support from the organising team. A special mention to Maddy, who coordinated the trip efficiently and was always responsive, and to our trip guide Karan, who was friendly, helpful, and ensured things ran well throughout.

The itinerary, however, could use some refinement. For example, the day trip to Santa Village felt a bit unnecessary and that time could have been better spent in Inari, which had more to offer. The last day also felt rushed—we didn’t get enough time at the museum, and the Gold Museum was unfortunately closed (though we still got to try gold panning, which was enjoyable). A slightly more balanced or even shorter itinerary would likely improve the overall experience.
