The tour specifically includes a dedicated Northern Lights hunt, taking you to prime viewing spots away from light pollution in Finnish Lapland and the Norwegian Arctic. Additionally, you'll experience an Aurora glass igloo stay, designed for optimal sky viewing directly from your accommodation. The best time to see the Northern Lights is typically during the dark winter months, from late autumn to early spring (September to April), when nights are long and dark, and skies are often clear.
The tour includes opportunities for Sami culture immersion, providing insight into the traditions and lifestyle of the indigenous Sami people of Lapland. While specific activities may vary, typical experiences often involve learning about reindeer herding, listening to traditional Sami stories, and experiencing their rich cultural heritage through local interactions.
The King Crab Safari is a highlight, where participants typically join local guides to experience the thrilling process of catching giant King Crabs from the Arctic waters. Following the safari, you'll enjoy a fresh King Crab feast. This usually involves savoring the deliciously prepared crab meat, often served simply to highlight its natural flavors, providing an authentic taste of the Norwegian Arctic's culinary traditions.
The optimal season for visiting Finnish Lapland and the Norwegian Arctic, especially for Northern Lights viewing and winter activities, is typically from late autumn to early spring (roughly September to April). During these months, the long, dark nights increase the chances of seeing the Aurora Borealis, and there is ample snow for activities like husky safaris and visiting Santa Claus Village.
The tour visits iconic attractions such as Santa Claus Village, where you can meet Santa Claus, cross the Arctic Circle, and send postcards from Santa's official post office. You will also go to Ranua Zoo, the northernmost zoo in the world, specializing in Arctic wildlife. Here, you can observe polar bears, Arctic foxes, and various Nordic animal species in their natural-like habitats.
In addition to Northern Lights hunts and King Crab Safaris, the 7-day tour features several other memorable adventures. These include exhilarating husky sleigh rides through snowy landscapes, a unique overnight stay in an Aurora glass igloo designed for optimal star and Northern Lights viewing, and an authentic Finnish Sauna experience for relaxation after a day of exploration.
