Discovering the Magic of Lapland

Embarking on a journey to Lapland is like stepping into a winter wonderland where the snow blankets the landscape, creating a serene and enchanting atmosphere. It’s a place where the hustle and bustle of city life give way to the tranquility of nature and the joy of simple pleasures. Whether you’re drawn by the allure of the Northern Lights or the thrill of husky sledding, planning your adventure with us at Wildmaker Lapland ensures an unforgettable experience.

Before you pack your bags and set off for this Arctic paradise, it’s important to consider the activities that resonate with your interests. Our private tours offer a range of experiences, from the peacefulness of luxury ice fishing to the excitement of a husky safari. Each activity is designed to immerse you in the local culture and the stunning natural beauty of the region. Remember, the key to a successful Lapland vacation is to balance adventure with relaxation, ensuring you return home with memories to last a lifetime.

Embracing the Local Culture and Traditions

Understanding the heart of Lapland means delving into the customs and way of life that have shaped its people. A visit to a local reindeer farm, for example, isn’t just an opportunity to meet these iconic creatures; it’s a chance to learn about reindeer husbandry and the significance of these animals to the Sami people. With us, you’ll spend a day with a local reindeer herder, absorbing stories and knowledge passed down through generations, all while sipping campfire coffee in the crisp Arctic air.

Similarly, our luxury ice fishing experience isn’t just about the catch; it’s a lesson in patience and the Finnish connection to nature. We transport you to the best fishing spots, provide a cozy tent with a wood-burning stove, and equip you with all you need to engage in this meditative pastime. It’s these authentic experiences that transform a simple vacation into a journey of cultural discovery and personal enrichment.

Conquering the Wilderness

For the adventurous at heart, our wilderness snowshoeing activity is a must. The Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park, with its ancient fells and breathtaking vistas, offers a playground for those eager to explore. We equip you with snowshoes, allowing you to traverse the deep snow and ascend the mystical Pallas fells. As you learn about the local flora and fauna, you’ll also gain insight into the area’s rich history and culture.

While the activity does require some physical effort, we cater to all abilities. If ascending the fells isn’t for you, there’s the option to relax by the fire in a cozy hut, waiting for the group to return with tales of their adventure. The beauty of planning your trip with us is the flexibility to tailor activities to your comfort level, ensuring everyone has an opportunity to enjoy the magic of Lapland.

Experiencing the Northern Lights

The Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights, is one of nature’s most spectacular displays, and in Lapland, you’re in one of the best locations to witness this phenomenon. Our Northern Lights Evening and Photography session is designed to maximize your chances of seeing the auroras dance across the sky. We teach you how to predict their appearance and choose the optimal night for viewing.

As you gather around a bonfire, making Finnish pancakes and learning about the night sky, the absence of light pollution allows for a truly mesmerizing experience. If you’re lucky, the Northern Lights will make their grand appearance, and we’ll be there to guide you in capturing the moment with your camera. Remember, while the Northern Lights are a natural wonder, their sighting can never be guaranteed, but we’ll do everything possible to ensure you have the best chance to see them.

Cozy Accommodations and Local Delicacies

After a day filled with adventure, there’s nothing quite like returning to the comfort of a traditional Finnish log cabin. Our accommodations are designed to provide a warm and inviting atmosphere, complete with a sauna and fireplace. It’s the perfect setting to unwind and reflect on the day’s experiences. With the cabin’s proximity to nature, you might even catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights right from your doorstep.

During your stay, you’ll have the opportunity to indulge in local cuisine, whether it’s a lunch prepared over an open fire during a snowshoeing excursion or the fresh fish you’ve caught yourself while ice fishing. These culinary experiences are not just about the food; they’re about the connection to the land and the simplicity of life in the Arctic Circle.

Private Husky Safari: A Personalized Adventure

One of the highlights of a Lapland vacation is the chance to embark on a husky safari, gliding through snowy forests and over frozen landscapes. With us, you’ll experience this thrill in the most intimate setting possible. Our private husky safaris mean no waiting for other teams, no distractions—just you, the wilderness, and your team of eager huskies.

We’ll teach you how to drive the sled and manage your team, but rest assured, it’s an experience that’s as exhilarating as it is accessible. Whether you’re steering the sled or enjoying the ride as a passenger, the connection with these incredible animals and the landscape they call home is an experience that epitomizes the spirit of Lapland. And with the option to customize the length of your safari, we ensure that your adventure is exactly as you envisioned it.
