Itinerary
- 1Let’s try some snowmobile driving. After getting the winter adventure gear and short briefing we may drive snowmobiles. No earlier experience is needed as it is easy and comfortable. During this 1 hour safari we traverse snowy wilderness forests and feel the fun of driving modern snowmobiles. This is an experience of a life time! It is possible to drive or sit as passenger or in the sleigh as you prefer. The snowmobiles used are modern silent and ecological snowmobiles that are very easy to drive. For driving on public tracks you need an international driving license. Right hand traffic regulations are valid on public tracks. It is possible to drive on waterways and private areas without driving license by request. We also guarantee small group sizes that makes driving even more enjoyable. Please check our terms and conditions for snowmobile safaris and enjoy!

- karim k0 contributionsFantastic week!!We were fully accompanied by the crew of LaplandWelcome for the complete week of our stay in Lapland. We are a family of 5 and have been planning and preparing for this trip for a full year! We got our week planner. Full of activities. We were picked up from the Airport and brought back to the Airport. We did not have to worry about anything. Our activities were Santa Village Snowmobile excursion with a BBq in a teepee. Auroas Borealis watch with dinner. (The absolute gem of the trip can not find words to describe) Day hike along the frozen Waterfalls Visit to Reindeer and Husky farms Visit to the Arctic Snow Hotel Ice Karting Skiing in floodlights slopes A very warm and cozy Christmas Eve. It was perfect. We really thank the whole team. They were out and above to help us and make our week memorable. Super special thanks to Nana, she took us to Santa village, Reeta for the absolute incredible hike to the waterfalls and sharing with us life in Lapland. Alex that helped resolve all transportation problems that appeared. And Oli our driver for several of the trips. An absolute lifetime memory. Thank you! Karim, Gisele and the boys.Written 12 January 2025
- bsaswata0 contributionsFrozen Moments: An Unforgettable Ice Fishing Adventure in LaplandThe ice fishing trip with **Lapland Welcome** in Rovaniemi was absolutely incredible! 🎣❄️ From the warm welcome to the expert guidance, everything was perfectly organized. Drilling through the ice on a stunning frozen lake surrounded by snowy landscapes was both thrilling and peaceful. 🌨️✨ The guide’s knowledge and enthusiasm made the experience fun and engaging, even for beginners. A highlight was gathering around a fire for a cozy barbecue with tasty local snacks—such a memorable touch! 🔥🍴 The provided thermal gear kept us warm, and the three-hour duration was just right. Whether you catch a fish or not (we were lucky to have 5 catches and then released them ofc!), this adventure is about immersing yourself in Lapland’s magical winter wonderland. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Rovaniemi! 🌟 SourcesWritten 12 January 2025
- 964ainhoag0 contributionsA ruined dreamFirst of all, I have to say that the drivers and guides were excellent and tried to do their best despite the chaotic boss, his bad manners, disorganization and lack of confidence in his workers ruined our experience, specially the last day, when due to the boss’ lack of organization and vindicative behavior made us nearly miss our fight. I will not recommend this company to anyoneWritten 6 January 2025
- P1172LWerint0 contributionsAmazing experience cross country skiingWe had an amazing experience of cross country skiing for the first time. Our guide was very friendly, informative and tailored the tour well to suit more experienced skiers alongside a beginner group. Would recommend!Written 4 January 2025
- christopherkS9883SA0 contributionscancelled without notificationWe arrived at the scheduled time in front of the Siula building. After 15min of waiting, noone else showed up. We called the organizers and at first they appeared confused regarding what tours they offer. 5min waiting on the phone later, they told us that the trip had been cancelled. We did not receive any notifications regarding the cancellation beforehand. The tour was showing as "confirmed" in Tripadvisor at the time. Needless to say, this wasted a lot of time driving around. If we had gotten a notification, we would have been able to plan something else on the day. This way, pretty much everything else had either been sold out or we were too late. We received a full refund.Written 4 January 2025
- Simon P0 contributionsAwesome experience with a few hiccups along the wayActivity itself was beyond amazing if you like experiencing driving yourself. It would have been nice to have made it more obvious, that we'll be traveling from kemi to Rovaniemi by car to and back, as we may have booked the same trip while staying in Rovaniemi a few days later.Written 23 December 2024
- jennylF2909RK0 contributionsRanua arctic wildlife parkMy husband and I did the Ranua arctic wildlife park tour. Just us and guide Jade who drove. Fabulous. They kitted us in snow suit and boots. Jade came round park with us then went over the road and she put on a barbecue - lit a fire in the barbecue pit and brought out all the trimming - in the ice and snow. It was greatWritten 6 December 2024
- kristQ9856MN0 contributionsDisorganized companyVery disorganized. Nasty personnel except for the guides were very sweet and kind but they didn't really have much energy or personality because they're so overworked and working in such a disorganized system. Communication was terrible before and during the three days I had reserved with them. There are many better companies.Written 5 December 2024
- 743rajatb0 contributionsDon't trust them. Definitely a NO!The owner hyped up the trip saying it has been voted as the 3rd best trip in the world. We canceled our booking with the other providers and decided to go with them. Not only were we not able to see the lights. The bbq food was bad. They took us to a place which was cloudier than Rovaniemi. Even with a good kp index they managed to miss the view to the lights. Definitely a NO!Written 14 November 2024
- scoobyscout0 contributionsAmazing tour.Amazing experience by your guide Aneeq. His knowledge of the aurora and even Finland was amazing. We felt safe with him. The tour was fantastic and the location of the base with access to toilets and fire pit and food was amazing and great fun. The tour started at 8pm and finished at 2am and although I had my 9yr old son with me he managed right up until the journey home. Highly recommend the experience.Written 8 November 2024

- 709ankang0 contributionsRanua Wildlife with Lapland WelcomeWe went to Ranua Wildlife Park with Lapland Welcome. Reita (or Ritta) was our guide. It was an amazing trip. The guide took us through the park, showing us the animals. She gave us enough time to enjoy the wildlife and the environment in the park! She shared with us about the Finnish culture, her childhood experiences, her family and the weather. Overall it was a great trip ! I would recommend everyone to avail Lapland's guided tour to Ranua when in Rovaniemi.Written 8 October 2024

- karengH672KY0 contributionsMemorable fishing experienceIt was so much fun, memorable tour and worth every penny. Highly recommend! As beginners to fishing our guide (Utsav) was very accommodating and patient in explaining the steps in fishing. We were also provided with the appropriate clothing and gears. The trail going to the fishing site although tricky was memorable including our dinner on the island. There were some mosquitoes but the insect repellent was helpful. Even if we weren’t able to caught a fish, we still get to enjoy the activity, the quiet and beautiful scenery.Written 5 August 2024

First off we had a great overall experience and it lasted longer than expected. Everything was great EXCEPT for one thing, the owner, an older man was extremely rude and disrespectful to everyone from the staff to the customers. He was belittling his own staff in front of us when we were being given our snow boots and snow suits saying they didn’t know what they were doing and giving the wrong sizes(they gave us correct sizes and were great). Then told one customer taker her suit off it’s too small because she’s too fat. Nobody could believe what we heard and everyone was left in shock and tried to comfort the lady when the owner walked away. After leaving the office to go to an hour away to where the snowmobiles were located everything was great. The driver was a young lady and she was the nicest person and told us all about Finland and the culture and landscape along the drive. During the snowmobile ride we were able to make multiple stops along the path for pictures and snowball fights. The guide was great and the snowmobile experience couldn’t have been better. It would of been a 5 star review if it weren’t for the extremely rude and disrespectful owner we experienced in the office.

Booked for our family (2 adults and 2 teenagers) 2 hours snowmobile in Rovaniemi of which, according to the description, 1 full hour would be on the snowmobile. Paid EUR 337,-.
We were supposed to be picked up at 07:45 at our accommodation but no one came. Long story short, I had to call 3 times before we were finally picked up, after more than half an hour waiting in the cold. We were taken to the office to receive the warm clothes and meet the guide. Everything went super messy there too, totally unorganized. Our guide was very friendly but he told us - spontaneously - that he was quickly called out of bed to join the excursion. So we had not only forgotten about the pick-up, our whole excursion was forgotten!
Then we went to the snowmobile park for the ride with the snowmobiles themselves. The ride was fun but very short. When we've been on the snowmobiles for half an hour it's a lot. Snacks would also be included. It is even mentioned on the site that vegetarian snacks are possible! We just got a drink.
Back at the office, I asked if we were now being taken to our accommodation. "Oh yes of course, they had to take care of that". Why did I have to ask that again? A taxi was called, and again and again. Again we had to wait half an hour!
I immediately sent an email about our experience and received a response from the CEO named Veli Moilanen. He wrote that we had made a last minute booking, saying that it was the Christmas period and busy and therefore small delays are normal and “All services were offered”. But 1) we hadn't made any last minute booking at all, had booked this a few days in advance 2) it wasn't about a delay, we weren't picked up at all and note the guide later said he was called out of bed to quickly accompany our excursion! 3) What about promised snacks?
I then emailed again and Mr. Moilanen - it is getting crazier - wrote that the guide
“The guide confirmed that he offered normal snacks, hot beverages and sugar bread.”
Instead of giving an understanding response after reporting a very poorly executed excursion, it is still suggested that we make this all up!
Mr Moilanen also reiterated that a delay in the peak season could occur. But we are not talking about a delay, no one knew about our excursion!
In short: the excursion was worthless organized and executed, the reaction to our report was just as worthless! And to think that we paid EUR 337,- for this .
So here's a bad review.
We have done 4 other excursions through Wild about Lapland: perfect! I recommend you, book there and forget Lapland Welcome!

We are in Lapland for 1 week and we book all our activities with Lapland Welcome. We done already 2 of them : husky safari and snowmobile driving and I had to say that we never had guide tours as wonderful as them. It’s like private experience and not with a huge group. Guides are really kind and careful. They pick you at the hotel and then arrange everything. You just have to relax and enjoy. For snowmobile we were during 4 hours only 3: my husband, the guide and me. We could appreciate all the tour. It was an amazing experience and I really recommend this company ! Thank a lot to them for that!
