This exciting safari offers an immersive experience into the heart of Lapland’s Taiga forest, where you'll explore the vibrant nature of the region and learn valuable wilderness survival skills. Your journey begins with a scenic departure from Rovaniemi, taking you deep into the forest, surrounded by the beauty of Lapland's ever-changing landscape. Your knowledgeable guide will share insights about the local trees, plants, and wildlife, and teach you how to use natural resources to create fire and practice other basic survival skills. Whether you're looking to learn or just experience the wilderness firsthand, this safari offers a perfect blend of adventure and education.
The tour operates throughout the year, with each season offering a unique experience in the Taiga forest. During the summer months, the forest comes alive with lush greenery and abundant undergrowth. You’ll have the chance to forage for fresh, wild berries like blueberries, lingonberries, cloudberries, and cranberries, which you can enjoy as you hike through the forest. As you move into autumn, the forest transforms with a breathtaking array of colors, from gold to auburn, as the leaves change. This is also the season when mushrooms and local shrubs are in full bloom, providing you with an opportunity to learn about these natural resources. Winter transforms the landscape again, and the tour is adapted to suit the colder months, focusing on survival techniques specific to the snowy environment. The winter version of this tour offers its own unique challenges and rewards, and further details can be found on the Winter Tours section of the website.
Midway through the tour, you’ll stop for a break where your guide will light a traditional campfire, providing both warmth and a chance to relax. Here, you’ll enjoy typical Finnish campfire snacks, while your guide demonstrates how to build a fire using flint and steel along with natural materials you gather along the way—no need for matches or lighters. This skill is an essential part of the experience, connecting you to the region’s traditional survival methods. Throughout the safari, the group size is kept small, with a maximum of 8 people, ensuring a more personal and intimate experience. This allows your guide to pay attention to your individual needs, offer tailored advice, and answer any questions you may have, ensuring a deeper connection to the land and the local culture. As we often say, "the smaller the group, the bigger the experience!" This philosophy is designed to provide you with a memorable and unique adventure in the heart of Lapland’s wilderness.

We went to a total of 3 aurora hunts by 3 different companies and I must say that Adrian’s here was our favourite, easily!! He was informative and kind, taking care of our needs (due to the 🥶) while persevering in finding an amazing aurora, which we had to drive to random areas in Sweden for. Due to the distance, the tour extended about 40min past the timing. We really appreciate the experience Adrian created for us. 10/10 - please give him a bonus! 😜🇸🇬❤️🇫🇮
Absolutely worthwhile and fantastic services from the counter staff to the guide. Thomas was an awesome guide who tried his utmost to hunt the auroras with us and when we finally caught the massive outbursts of auroras on our way back, he just let us soaked in and enjoyed the moment without rushing us back. Very blessed to catch it!
A huge thank you to Zhaniya and Maxime! 🌟 Their enthusiasm is absolutely contagious, and their knowledge about Finland – especially Lapland – is truly impressive. They turned my adventure into something magical and unforgettable. Every explanation, every story, and every little detail they shared made me connect even more deeply with this beautiful region. Sorry for writing this 8 months after my trip, but the memories are still so vivid that I just had to share! If you’re looking for guides who combine passion, expertise, and amazing energy, I recommend them and the company 1000% ! 🙌✨
We booked a frozen waterfall hiking tour. Our group comprised 7 tourists and our Chilean guide Tomas. We had a good time. While we had our own hiking and snow gear, it was available from Wild About Lapland. The van left Rovaniemi at 07:30, making the 90-minute drive to Korouoma with a midpoint rest stop. Tomas was a very smooth driver. We were the first vehicle in the large parking lot. And the first to make footprints in the one inch of new snow on the trails. Tomas led us on the snow-packed hiking trails at a fairly rapid pace, stopping to explain some of the plants and wildlife along the way. We saw no other hikers until about halfway into our tour. About an hour in, we stopped to build a fire, roast sausages, and drink tea and cocoa. Restrooms (pit toilets) were available at the campfire stop. By the time we finished the hike, the parking lot was full, including tour busses. Large groups were entering the park. We napped on the smooth ride back, having gotten our vigorous exercise.
We did the 4h Snowmobile Tour and it was amazing! I can 100% recommend it - our Guide Anne was absolutely amazing and provided an incredible experience while also telling us about some local points and everything we needed to know about the Snow Mobiles. We also stopped at a reindeer farm and could watch some reindeers in a beautiful snowy forest while eating chocolate and drinking tea. Furthermore our group concisted of only 4 people - making the tour really exclusive.
