Lapland Safaris

Lapland Safaris are specialists in Lapland’s nature and the Lappish lifestyle. Since 1982, we have provided tourists visiting Lapland with exciting nature activities and memorable travel experiences. Show more

At the heart of our activities lies the culture of Lapland. We draw inspiration from the local history and day-to-day ‘Lappishness’. The stories and legends relating to these form the basis of the programme packages offered to our customers.

The highlights of winter trips include snowmobile safaris, reindeer and husky sledge rides, and excursions to admire Lapland’s unique natural light show – the Northern Lights. We organise trips to see them by snowmobile, reindeer or snowshoe.

In the summer you can enjoy Lapland’s outstanding nature by taking a river cruise on the Ounasjoki or the Kemijoki, which flow through the city of Rovaniemi. You can cruise to a local reindeer farm or simply admire the midnight sun.

You can explore Lapland’s nature independently, too. Lapland Safaris offer hikers tips on attractions and a wide selection of quality hiking and outdoor equipment for hire, such as snowshoes and winter clothing.

We arrange excursions and travel programmes for groups of all sizes (minimum of two people). The programmes are always tailored to the desires of the group, which means that we guarantee a memorable trip. We also organise weekly guaranteed departure programmes year-round based on different themes. Individual tourists are also welcome to join these groups.

Come and enjoy the enchantment of Lapland with us.

Lapland Hotels & Lapland Safaris are pioneers in sustainable tourism

Press release | Fri Dec 09 09:53:00 2022

Lapland Hotels & Lapland Safaris are strongly involved in Visit Finland's sustainable tourism development programme. To date, twenty-one Sustainable Travel Finland labels have already been awarded to these tourism companies, which represents 10% of all labels awarded in Finland. For Lapland Hotels, the label is a testimony to its long-term commitment to responsible tourism and the preservation of northern nature.

The STF label has been awarded to all Lapland Hotels' city hotels (Helsinki, Tampere, Arena, Kuopio, Oulu), and Lapland Hotels and Lapland Safaris in Levi and Rovaniemi, among others. Santa Claus Office, Lapland Ski Resorts Ounasvaara and Ylläs Ski Resorts Äkäslompolo have also been awarded the label for their sustainability work.

The Sustainable Travel Finland label awarded by Visit Finland requires the completion of a sustainable tourism development programme and commitment to sustainability criteria. The STF label covers economic, ecological, social and cultural sustainability. In order to be awarded the label, the applicant must also hold an environmental certificate, such as the Ekokompassi. It is not possible to apply for the STF label for the whole chain; each site must apply separately.

– "For us, obtaining the label is particularly important internationally. It allows us to officially demonstrate what we have been doing for years: we are constantly working on environmental issues and are committed to responsible tourism. In the spring, we already received the Ekokompassi certificate, which also made it possible for us to apply for the STF," says Maria Astrén , who is responsible for environmental issues at Lapland Hotels & Safaris.

New environmentally friendly ways are constantly being sought

Overall, Lapland Hotels now accounts for 10% of the STF labels awarded in Finland. However, getting the label does not mean that all the work has been done.

– "Sustainability work is never complete. For example, legislation and regulations can change or awareness can grow, and then you have to be alert. We are now committed to improving the environment. We want to be involved if new, more environmentally friendly ways of doing things can be found. The northern nature and a balanced relationship with nature are of paramount importance to us," says Astrén.

In recent years, Lapland Hotels has made many concrete environmental measures. For example, all of the Group’s locations switched to using 100% green electricity two years ago.

The most visible measure to customers has been the improvement of waste management. Lapland Hotels has led the way in sparsely populated areas in Lapland, where comprehensive recycling points are not a matter of course. In addition, Lapland Safaris is already using more environmentally-friendly four-stroke snowmobiles, and emissions from snowmobile safaris have been compensated for.
