Our promise
Crafted with care,
in touch with nature
At North Tours we believe the most unforgettable moments are born when we are in harmony with nature. In Lapland, we meet its rugged beauty and the animals with care and deep respect. Every journey we create is authentic and thoughtfully crafted, inviting you to feel the true magic of the North.
Connection to nature
We move in harmony with nature and cherish its delicate balance, ensuring that the unique beauty of Lapland will be preserved for generations to come. Our work is grounded in sustainability and in maintaining the balance of the environment – every tour is crafted for small groups, leaving the wilderness as pure and untouched as we first found it.
Animal wellbeing first
From huskies to reindeer to the wild animals of the north, we meet every animal with kindness and respect. We ensure that every encounter is safe, natural, and respectful of their natural needs. To us, animals are not attractions – they are companions, partners, and friends.
Authentic experiences
Our adventures are rooted in the true spirit, culture, and traditions of Lapland. We offer not just activities, but meaningful moments that connect you to nature, local stories, and the true magic of Lapland.

Arctic experiences
with respect for the local wildlife
North Tours was born from a deep respect for the wilderness of Lapland and the beings who call it home. These forests are in our blood – we grew up among them, knowing their hidden paths, their whispers, and their changing moods. Our mission is to create authentic experiences in Finnish Lapland that honour nature, protect animal welfare, and preserve the magic of the Arctic for generations to come. Every guest is welcomed with genuine care and personal attention – so that when night falls, both you and we can rest with a peaceful heart.

Guided experiences for whole family
Step into the magic of Lapland, where the whole family, from the youngest adventurer to the wisest explorer, can share unforgettable moments. We design our tours to be safe and filled with stories and discoveries for all ages. Our groups are small so that each family receives personal attention and the freedom to explore the untouched nature of Lapland at their pace.

On the summit of Pisavaara I realised that places like this, where you can truly return to nature, are becoming rare. We don’t just offer activities – we guide our guests back in touch with nature.

Frequently asked questions
Our goal is to serve our guests in the best possible way. Here you’ll find the answers to the questions we are most frequently asked. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, please contact us directly. We’re here for you!
How can I book my Lapland adventure?
You can easily book your experience through our website. Our selection includes a private husky sled ride to an authentic reindeer farm and the Northern Lights tours. Every tour is designed for small groups and carried out with respect for Lapland’s pristine nature and animal welfare.
Are your tours suitable for children and older adventurers?
Yes. North Tours’ private Lapland tours are designed to be safe and suitable for travelers of all ages. On the Northern Lights tour, there is always a warm space available, and on the husky ride, children can comfortably sit in the sled. Every tour includes the warmth of a campfire, making the experience enjoyable for both families and older adventurers. Warm winter clothing is essential for all participants.
Please contact us in advance if you want to make sure that a specific excursion suits your needs. We are happy to tailor the experience to your group.
Are the trips accessible?
We strive to make our Lapland excursions as accessible as possible so that also guests with reduced mobility can join. Please note, however, that we cannot guarantee full accessibility on the Northern Lights tour due to ground conditions.
Always contact us before booking if there are people with limited mobility in your group – this way we can plan the best possible experience for everyone.
Do I need previous experience of nature tours?
Not at all. Our experienced local guides know Lapland’s wilderness like the back of their hand. They ensure safety and guide you through every step of the journey, so you can simply focus on enjoying the moment – whether it’s a husky sled ride, a reindeer encounter, or watching the Northern Lights.
What clothing and equipment do I need?
We do not rent winter clothing, but we are happy to advise you on what to bring. For Lapland tours you will need:
- warm base layers (wool is highly recommended)
- outerwear (down jacket or ski clothing)
- warm shoes and thick socks
- a hat, mittens, and a scarf or balaclava
All necessary excursion equipment is included. Please note that sitting around the campfire may leave a hint of smoke on your clothes – airing them afterwards is recommended. If needed, you can also buy disposable hand and foot warmers from us.
Do you offer transportation in the Rovaniemi area?
Yes. We arrange pickups from Rovaniemi city center and the Arctic Circle, and we bring you back after the tour. Other pickup points can be arranged on request. Our goal is to make your Lapland adventure as smooth as possible from start to finish.
How do you ensure the welfare of the animals?
Animal welfare is at the heart of everything we do. Our huskies, reindeer, and other animals receive the best possible care, plenty of rest, and proper nutrition. They live in an environment that respects their natural needs. We never organize activities that stress the animals – they are our companions, not attractions. This ensures authentic, responsible travel experiences in Lapland.
Can I see the Northern Lights on the tour?
The Northern Lights are the most magical phenomenon of the Arctic sky – but as they are a natural wonder, their appearance can never be guaranteed. Our guides take you to the best locations and times for the highest chance of spotting them. And even on cloudy nights, you will experience the deep silence of Lapland, the starry skies, and the unique atmosphere of untouched nature.
