Beautiful site but challenging hike
This was a much more challenging walk/hike than expected, with some extremely steep and icy sections. The provided ice spikes were of poor quality, and many people in our (too large) group had issues with them. We had an injury in our party (due to less than ideal path-finding from the guides) and only one of the guides was helpful for the required first aid (note that the guides didn’t have any first aid kits with them). One guide was actually hostile and yelled at the injured party to hurry up- extremely unprofessional. More experienced guides would have assessed the group and provided some options for safer routes.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback.We would like to clarify several important points regarding your experience. We have carefully reviewed this situation with the guides who were present during the hike. According to both guides and other participants, assistance was offered to you repeatedly throughout the activity. The guide stayed with you during the more difficult sections, helped adjust your ice spikes several times, and provided support such as chocolate and a thermal blanket to the injured party . Guidance was also given on how to move safely on the steep and icy terrain, our guide choose the most safe, suitable path and the easier for the group. We do not recognise the description of hostile behaviour in your review. The guides report remaining calm and supportive, and other guests present can confirm this. Winter hikes in Arctic conditions can be physically demanding, and the terrain is naturally steep and icy in certain sections. Our guides continuously provide instructions and support to help participants navigate these conditions safely. While we regret that the experience did not meet your expectations, the situation described in your review does not reflect the accounts from the guides or other participants on the tour.

Beautiful scenery.
The tour guide Gigi was incredible. The views and the location were beautiful. However. The group size (20) was much too large for this activity. There were at least 4 languages being spoken on a tour and the guide managed to make us all feel included (barely). However it meant the day went much longer. And the group was less managed than we would like (for safety and experience). The gear was mostly broken and lacking, and overall the day was disappointing for the price.

Fantastic hike.
Excellent way to experience the outdoors near Rovaniemi. It is a long hike. The path have parts that are steep and icy and you need to be careful. Our guides Alex and Julia were awesome and took good care of our group. Making sure everyone stayed safe and had fun. We enjoyed this a lot more than we thought we would. Highly reccommend!

The best part of of our trip!!!!!
Amazing, unforgettable experience! We were a group of eight including four children of the ages of 4, 7, 10 and 12. It was astonishing! The kids had so much fun sliding down hills hiking down. Our guide Chris was so informative. He loves what he does and it shows. We loved every second of this tour. Thank you! We are not in the best shape and we did it! Take your time.

😍❤️❄️🏔🌨🌲🌳🦌🍄
An amazing experience. Well organised with a very knowledgeable tour guide. We had a good group size with only 8 of us. The waterfalls and surrounding national park were stunning and well worth a visit.

Why this scores 80
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hike to Frozen Waterfalls of Korouoma Including BBQ Lunch from Rovaniemi: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rovaniemi.
How much does Hike to Frozen Waterfalls of Korouoma Including BBQ Lunch from Rovaniemi cost?
+
Prices start at $179 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rovaniemi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Hike to Frozen Waterfalls of Korouoma Including BBQ Lunch from Rovaniemi take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rovaniemi is not rushed.
Is Hike to Frozen Waterfalls of Korouoma Including BBQ Lunch from Rovaniemi worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 86 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rovaniemi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Hike to Frozen Waterfalls of Korouoma Including BBQ Lunch from Rovaniemi?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Hike to Frozen Waterfalls of Korouoma Including BBQ Lunch from Rovaniemi suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Hike to Frozen Waterfalls of Korouoma Including BBQ Lunch from Rovaniemi?
+
Around 30 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rovaniemi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rovaniemi and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hike to Frozen Waterfalls of Korouoma Including BBQ Lunch from Rovaniemi start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rovaniemi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rovaniemi?
+
On Outty we rank every Rovaniemi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Northern Lights Rovaniemi: Guaranteed Viewing & Unlimited Mileage, Rovaniemi: Korouoma Canyon & Frozen Waterfalls Tour with BBQ, Rovaniemi:%100 Guaranteed Northern Lights Hunt&Free Photos. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rovaniemi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rovaniemi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
