Private Snowmobile Trip in Rovaniemi

Vesa is a one-in a million tour guide!

Vesa is a one-in a million tour guide! Wow! Vesa is the perfect tour guide; he truly cares about his role and giving tourists the best experience. I wish there were more diligent people in this world like Vesa! I did the 17:00 Snowmobiling with Lapland Royal Adventures. We were in a small group (of three), so we managed to go super fast (maxing out at 50km/h). Apparently the 17:00 isn’t a popular time, so if you have a need for speed, choose this time, because less kids, more space and freedom to go fast. We covered 26.3km in 1hr5mins (garmin). Vesa was super cool and let us cover more ground and go as fast as we could. Highly highly recommend him until here. It was what happened after that separates him from others. I could only stay in Rovaniemi for one day, with a train at 9pm. I was doing the Winter Swimming World Championships in Oulu and flying back the day after from Oulu. I hadnt seen the Northern Lights yet. I mentioned I wanted to see the Northern Lights. He kept checking his app, and then he saw an opportunity ON OUR WAY HOME. We jumped out the car, and he took a photo of me, but wasn’t satisfied, so he drove us to a much darker spot he knew about (about 2 mins away) and we did a photo session with his special secret technique (involving a torch and a timer)! The photos were insane and I was stunned at how great they came out! He didn’t have to get out the car or even turn back around, but he cares about giving his customers a great experience. I don’t usually write reviews but was compelled to write this one. Give this man a raise!! A very special guide and one I’ll be raving about for years to come!!

Ice Fishing in a small group with snowshoeing and salmon soup

First time ice fishing, to do.

On time, he took us to a private lake where they have a cabin, so when you can't resist the cold anymore you can come in. The guide is exceptional, he did everything and in the end we managed to catch even a dozen. Then in the cabin the traditional salmon and potato soup at 11:00 in the morning with -30 degrees, crazy, finished so quickly that the girl gave us an encore.
