Check out our Q&As

  • Where are we located?

    Nordic Unique Travels LTD located in the door to the Arctic: Rovaniemi, Lapland. Our office is approachable by walking distance from the major hotels in the city area (Maakuntakatu 29-31 96200 Rovaniemi Finland). We are in the middle of the city centre, next to Subway and in front of Sale Market. Come make us a visit!

  • When to travel to Lapland?

    There are four distinctly different seasons as far up north as Rovaniemi. However, locals think the conditions are in a constant state of change and say there are up to eight seasons in the year: midwinter, snowy spring, spring, summer, harvest season, autumn leaf colour, first snowfall, and Christmas. Please bear in mind that there is annual fluctuation in weather. Lapland is in the continental climate zone. The winters are cold and rich in snow, but thanks to the Gulf Stream, the summers are relatively warm. Rovaniemi is part of the arctic region; its climate, however, is subarctic and temperate, characterised by strong seasonal contrasts of dark versus bright and cold versus warm.

  • Summer in Lapland

    The Midnight Sun and white nights in June and July The Midnight Sun period officially lasts from early June until early July, but nights are white throughout the summer in Rovaniemi. The summer in Lapland can offer an interesting variety of weather conditions, with a longer warm spell expected in July. The warmest time of year brings people out in masses, and various events take place in summery Rovaniemi. Prepare to celebrate until the wee hours, as the sun never goes down. There are plenty of things to do in Rovaniemi in the summer, and with 24 hours of light, there’s no limits to time of action.

  • Spring in Lapland

    The snow melts, the ice breaks and nature is reborn in April and May April is still considered a snowy month in Rovaniemi and Lapland, but the snow gradually disappears as May approaches. The ice on rivers and lakes starts melting, and big chunks of ice can be seen flowing downstream. In early April, the last of the Northern Lights displays can be seen. Towards the end of April, nights are too light for the Auroras to be spotted. In May, northern nature starts getting ready to blossom once again after a harsh winter. At the end of May, nights are white. In Rovaniemi, winter activities still run in early April, after which it’s time for non-snow stuff.

  • Winter in Lapland

    Christmas, the Polar Night and snowy spring from December to March December and January are snowy months shrouded in the darkness of the Polar Night. The sun comes out in February and marks the start of the snowy, light-filled spring. March is often terrific for Northern Lights viewing. In Rovaniemi, the Official Hometown of Santa Claus, Christmas is a special time, as many flock to the arctic town to meet Santa in person and experience the festive season in magical wintery surroundings. The winter is a great time for a number of activities both in the snow outside and experiencing local culture inside.

  • Autumn in Lapland

    First Auroras and first snowfall from August to November Early August is still considered summer by many, but by the end of the month, it’s definitely autumn. The Northern Lights start appearing in late August, and September and October are ideal Aurora viewing months. Temperatures start dropping below zero in October, and first snow usually falls at around the same time period. A permanent snow cover is expected in late November. Autumn leaf colour paints the landscapes in earthy shades, and days are perfect for hiking and other nature related activities, as nights are best reserved for Aurora spotting.

13-Jan-2024

We had a great time with our 5 day tour package with Nordic Unique Travels with our wonderful, very informative and helpful tour guides, Livia, Francesco, Jan, Erik, Myriam, Nikki, Carlos and Mathias. We did not caught a fish and did not see the northern lights but the Risiintunturi and the snowmobile driving were awesome! The sausage, salmon, salmon soup and hot blueberry juice were very good. The hotel part of the package was at the city center and close to everything, the staffs were friendly and we like it that they have a sauna. Highly recommending NUT 🥰 Thank you very much!

26-Dec-2023

Our good experience/best memory goes to our tour guide, Carlos. Since we had a bad experience on the first day and Carlos was sent to be our guide on the next day. He picked us up and double checked our names just to make sure the all guests were real customers. And he kept saying he won't forget us. He drove carefully according to the law so we could trust him. Along the way he could describe several useful things. We enjoyed talking and didn't fall asleep. He understood his guests and didn't force us to do whatever we didn't want. If we were cold, we could be in the car. BBQ was also good for vegetarians. He kept corns and vegan sausages for us. This made us feel like we were special and turned the bad experience on the first day to good. When he sent us back, he dropped us in front of the apartment door. Thank you so much for the tour and the best tour guide.

I booked once I arrived in rovaniemi, the office was friendly. I booked a few tours. Yuming was a great guide, the reindeer farm was good fun and would recommend, especially for kids. Second tour was snowmobile and husky with ken, again he was great at explaining and giving some general info on Finland while we waited for snowmobile. The last tour was Matthias to the frozen waterfalls. I really liked this tour and guide had loads of stories, facts and info about rovaniemi, the forests, current ecosystem and the past history of the woods and animals. Showed us animal tracks and lots of information on the seasons. Genuine outdoors person who seemed like he enjoyed his job and engaging with customers.

Incredible and wonderful tours! We booked the Aurora hunt, the husky safari and reindeer safari. The experiences were astonishing. Aldo, Miquel and Fotis were our personal guides. They gave us a very welcoming and personal feeling, they explained extensively the life of a husky and reindeer, as well as how the Aurora Borealis works. Highly recommended, we will definitely book here again!

We have joined Nordic Unique Travel for a day tour in Rovaniemi, the trip is really amazing and enjoyable. We first went to hiking, and had a panoramic view of the city. Then we went to visit the museum and got some knowledge of the weather characteristics of finland. Later, we had a delicious lunch buffet in Santa Claus village, and met Santa! Further, we had the reindeer ride. Our lovely guide, Jane, was really helpful. We had another activities at night. When she realized it, she proactively adjusted our schedules of activities to suit the same. She was very familiar with all the details of Finland, and all my family members enjoyed so much! Thanks Jane, 👍👍👍👍

The snowshoeing tour was great!...

21-Nov-2023

The snowshoeing tour was great! We could borrow overalls and shoes for the tour as well as the snowshoes themselves. Our guides, Joel and Jane, did a great job navigating us through the snowy forest to a view point on Vaattunkivaara where we ate some cookies and drank a warm blueberry juice. Highly recommend the tour, you can also be picked up directly at your accommodation if preferred!
