Welcome to a memorable Arctic night! Take a seat around the fire with your family and friends, and listen to some old legends and tales of Finland!
Your guide will take you into some dark forests or some empty frozen lakes outside Rovaniemi where you will enjoy a relaxing and cultural evening. Lit by the cracking flames of an open fire, you will travel through old stories and ages to discover more about the Finnish culture, traditions and life in the Far North.
This story-telling experience will also be an opportunity to taste some local snacks prepared by your guide directly on the fire, while listening to their stories.
This tour is organised in small groups only in order to allow a proper connection with the surrounding nature and have a relaxing time.
So, ready for an evening that you will never forget?
During the best nights, Northern lights can even come to visit you and dance over your head, while you listen to some local stories. But this story-telling experience is also a great alternative for nights when auroras are not visible due to bad weather.
