Amazing!
A great experience and something I never thought I’d see - not just one but multiple frozen waterfalls! It’s been a while since we went, but our guide was Emma or Emily and she was great too! Very good at keeping the whole group happy and engaged through a semi challenging trail. Highly recommend this!

Beautiful Frozen Waterfalls Hike
It was a fantastic trip to Korouoma Canyon to see the frozen waterfalls. The guide was great and made the whole experience really enjoyable. The views were absolutely amazing, and the walk through the canyon was beautiful and peaceful. We stopped at a laavu for snacks and a warm drink, which was a really nice break and made the experience even more special. It was such a peaceful experience in nature and one I will definitely remember.

Highly recommend
Simple trekking with outstanding views. It can be done alone as it is well maintained and signaled, or by joining group tours.

Spectacular Views!
This is an amazing experience and I feel very grateful that I have been able to see these outstanding views. Its about an hour and 45 minutes to get there, though, our driver Fran was amazing and it didn't feel long at all. Omg, once we got there, we got to walk through woodland and its so beautiful! Divine views! Fran is knowledgeable about the tour and also he is very kind and considerate of all the people in the group. As long as you can walk, I strongly recommend this activity! Yes, its pricey, but worth it. Unless you can get there by yourself then its even more enjoyable! Overall, an unforgettable experience and made great memories with my partner and my son who it 20 years old. He absolutely loved the scenery and the peaceful that woodlands offer. Thank you Fran 😊!

Brilliant day. Sooo glad we did this.
We booked two trips with Wild About Lapland and both were fantastic experiences with great guides. Communication from the company at the time of booking and prior to the trips was good. On both occasions we had a friendly and welcoming greeting from staff at the Wild About Lapland office when we arrived for our trip. The office is cosy and nicely decorated and has a good amount of seating and tea making facilities for guests. Shortly after arriving for our Korouona trip we met our guide Mathilde (apologies if spelt incorrectly) who was friendly, helpful and professional. A good range of outdoor clothing is available to borrow if needed. We already had pretty good cold winter wear but some of our family did swap our snow boots for the Wild About Lapland boots which were warmer and better for hiking than our own. Mathilde drove us and another family to Korouoma in a mini van which was warm and comfortable. A toilet stop was offered at a petrol station /cafe / shop en route. Mathilde warned us that the toilets at Korouoma were basic drop toilets, which didn't faze us, but retrospectively once we had seen the condition others had left the toilets at Korouoma in on the day we visited ( apparently they are not usually this bad) we wished we had taken up this offer, and were very glad to know that we could visit this setting on our way home once we had finished the hike! The day we visited Korouoma was a popular day for trips, but the car park wasn't especially busy when we arrived and although we encountered some other small groups on our walk this did not detract from our experience or enjoyment. The car park was much busier when we returned, so I assume that paths may have been quite a bit busier in the afternoon. We were provided with crampons for our walk, which were effective and definitely helpful for some of the slopes. We (two adults, and two children aged 12 and 14) really enjoyed the walk. Although it was very cold when we set off ( below -20 degrees Celsius) it did warm up during the day (up to -15 I think!) and we were blessed with blue skies. Being in the snowy forest amongst the snow-clad trees draped with lichen was magical, and it wasn't long before we got out first views across the other side of the canyon to the first frozen waterfalls, which were awesome! We then walked down into the canyon and our route took us past the different waterfalls. They were all beautiful and amazing to see. We were lucky to see some ice-climbers on two of the waterfalls, which was interesting to watch. After seeing the last waterfall we headed to an area in the forest with a number of bbq / fire areas. We were all feeling rather chilly (faces, fingers and toes) so enjoyed the opportunity to warm up by the fire. Mathilde cooked us some sausages (vegetarian option available) and these, along with some hot chocolate ( tea also available), helped restore us for the last part of the walk, approximately 25 minutes up the hill to the car park. Mathilde our guide was brilliant at checking all of our group were okay, and meeting the needs of the group. She shared interesting information with us about the area and the waterfalls during our walk, but also had a lot of wider knowledge about Lapland, ice-climbing, outdoor adventures etc and I was really grateful to her for putting up with my flurries of questions. It was great to have this opportunity to see Korouoma Canyon and the spectacular frozen waterfalls during our time in Lapland, and I am delighted with the experience we had with Wild About Lapland and our fab guide Mathilde. NB. This is the first time I have used hand warmers inside my gloves and these were very useful to take and have available to use during this trip, especially for our children.

Why this scores 88
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Korouoma Canyon Frozen Waterfalls: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rovaniemi.
How much does Korouoma Canyon Frozen Waterfalls cost?
+
Prices start at $172 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 Korouoma Canyon Frozen Waterfalls 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 Korouoma Canyon Frozen Waterfalls worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 235 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Rovaniemi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Korouoma Canyon Frozen Waterfalls?
+
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 Korouoma Canyon Frozen Waterfalls 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 Korouoma Canyon Frozen Waterfalls?
+
Around 82 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 Korouoma Canyon Frozen Waterfalls 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.
