Review of Nuuksio National Park from Helsinki, with public transport, forest hikes, guide quality, costs, seasonal tips, and booking advice.

Review of the Riisitunturi day trip from Rovaniemi, with snowy spruce trees, a 4-kilometre hike, campfire lunch, and practical tips.
“100% recommend – a stunning national park & a really great guide 🗺️ We were lucky with the weather and with feeding the birds 🪶 Our guide shared great information about the wildlife, throughout the trip and during the ride. The pace was perfect, with plenty of time for photo and video stops. It was nice to be in a smaller group, and the guides worked well together 🫱🏻🫲🏽 A big thank you to our cute French guide and her sweet French intern for making this day so special. Take care ☘️🪩”
Review of Rovaniemi’s six-hour snowmobile safari, with wilderness riding, campfire lunch, warm gear, costs, fitness tips, and booking advice.
“An all day snowmobile tour of beautiful nature. Our guide was Patrick and we had a great time. Pick ups & drop off are well organized and they provide all the necessary gears. In addition to an organized drive through the forest etc. we were given two occasions to "freestyle" on a large open space! Also you can switch drivers in the middle. We had reindeer stew as lunch and it was delicious! Nice break to rest a bit and warm up before completing rest of the journey. It was one of our favorite experiences in our trip to Rovaniemi!”
Ride snowmobiles through Lapland’s forests, frozen lakes, and powder snow, with a campfire lunch, winter gear, and a full day outdoors.
“This tour was excellent. Everything was well organized and thoughtfully provided, including food, hand and feet warmers, and clothing. We had the chance to experience beautiful nature and see wild reindeer. We stopped at the Snow Hotel and at a wooden cabin, where we enjoyed a fire and lunch. Our guide, Ramón, was extremely kind and helpful—very open and welcoming—and he prepared an amazing lunch. Our driver, Marina, was also very friendly. I highly recommend this tour; it is absolutely worth the money.”
Pick a park, an animal, or a way of getting around it.
