Finland Summer Escape

Upon arrival in Rovaniemi, transfer to your luxury igloo and spa resort tucked into the Arctic forest. Once settled, head out onto Lake Palojarvi like a true Finn aboard a handcrafted floating sauna with a wood-burning stove. Breathe in the crisp forest air, unwind on the sun deck, sweat it out in the sauna, and take a refreshing swim in the lake, with blueberry juice, slippers, and a towel provided. 

After breakfast, set out on a summer quad bike ride through Lapland's wilderness. A professional guide shows you how to handle the ATV safely before you explore the lakes, cliffs, and forests around Rovaniemi, pausing among the trees for Finnish blueberry juice and gingerbread cookies. Riders must be at least 55 inches tall (4.5 ft) and bring a valid driving license. Spend the afternoon at the Arctic spa, easing into the lakeside sauna, outdoor hot tubs, and steam room ringed by peaceful forest.

Following breakfast, enjoy a tranquil walk through the Arctic forest alongside Lapland's iconic reindeer. Visit the reindeer park, get to know these gentle animals up close, and learn about the northern traditions of reindeer herding as you share the trail together. The rest of the day is open, with free canoeing, kayaking, and paddleboarding on hand for anyone keen to get out on the water.

After breakfast, visit Ranua Wildlife Park to meet Finland's only polar bear along with more than 50 northern species, from moose and wolverines to wolves and impressive owls. Large enclosures set in the Arctic forest closely mimic the animals' natural surroundings, letting you watch Arctic wildlife up close, and a lunch buffet is included. The afternoon is yours to explore on your own or return to the spa to relax.

Enjoy a final breakfast and check out of the resort. Your guide will collect you from your accommodation and drive you to the airport in Rovaniemi, sending you home with plenty of unforgettable memories from the Arctic summer.
