Venture into the Outdoors
Setting out with a private driver, head to a remote reindeer farm where you'll witness the life of Lapland reindeer first-hand as they relax and go about their daily work. You'll be given the unique opportunity to take a crash-course on handling a reindeer sled, receiving your special “drivers license” upon completion (available for all ages). Afterward, have a seat in a sled connected train-style behind your lead guide's sled, and you're off on a marvelous 2-mile adventure through the wilderness. Admire the pristine surroundings as you wind your way through the snowy landscape. If you get cold, you'll be able to warm yourself up around a bonfire in a nearby hut, with a warm drink in hand. Conclude with a return transfer to your hotel.
Elevate your evening with one of two private open-fire dining experiences at Arctic TreeHouse Hotel. Choose Taste of the Northern Lights in a traditional outdoor laavu beneath the Arctic sky, or a Romantic Dinner in a candlelit Lappish kota warmed by the hearth. A private chef prepares a three-course menu over the fire, featuring salmon, reindeer, Arctic char, and vegetarian options, with children’s selections available. Your Destination Expert can arrange this experience for you, with payment made directly and confirmation subject to availability.

High in the Sky
Meet your private driver-guide as you set out for an exciting evening of hunting for the northern lights, also known as the aurora borealis. Your 3-hour adventure significantly ups your chances of witnessing this extraordinary natural phenomenon, produced by a specific blend of astronomical conditions. You'll be taken away from ambient city light to an ideal position where you can scan the skies to look for the lights. While cooperation by mother nature can never be guaranteed, if luck is on your side, enjoy a memorable display of the luminescent ribbons as they dance overhead. No matter what happens, it's a true pleasure to absorb the silent winter setting, staying warm with a hot drink and a lovely campfire-cooked meal.

All Aboard!
Meet your private driver-guide for a 2-hour transfer south to the Gulf of Bothnia, passing by rural Finnish communities on route to the launch point for a memorable cruise aboard a massive icebreaker ship. Formerly used by the Finnish government, the Sampo icebreaker offers a unique 4-hour cruise experience on the Gulf of Bothnia, the northermost arm of the Baltic Sea, amidst vast open-arctic sea scenery. The union of majestic steel, ice and sea will be unlike anything you’ve ever experienced. As you step oboard, a private guide will be waiting to whisk you away from the other boarders and take you on an exclusive tour of the ship. Learn about the history of the Sampo, and experience unique access as you visit the control room, engine room and communication room. You'll be shown to a private cabinet for cocktail bites, local berry juices and sweets, while also having access to the shared main viewing platform of the ship. As part of your VIP status, you'll have first priority to participate in a special 'floating' experience, being outfitted in specialized floating dry suits, allowing you to float atop the freezing cold arctic water. You'll also be treated to lunch ashore over the course of your day. Conclude the experience on arrival back to port where you'll join your driver for a private return transfer to your hotel.

Even when you're not behind the wheel, there's plenty of fun to be had by simply watching the performance of your team members, taking photographs, and getting warm with refreshing drinks in a nearby building. If you don't have a valid drivers license, the instructor will be ready to drive you around the course to experience the fun from the passenger seat. Conclude with a return transfer to your hotel.
