We were a group of three...
We were a group of three girls and we couldn't have had a better tour guide than Lola on our trip on the 31.1. to Kurouma Waterfalls and on the 3.2. to Riisitunturi National Park! Lola always drove us safely to each destination and back and both tours were well paced and enjoyable. Lola is friendly, knowledgeable, and fun, so we had an amazing time! Thank you so much!

6 out of 5 ✌️
Thanks Wild About Lapland for hosting & creating a memorable tour In Riisitunturi National Park! Im a solo traveler & i knew this company won’t let me down for sure. My guide Lola from France, (very cool gal, friendly, helpful, made this trip a memorable one. The weather gods also were kind as we had blue skies, rainbow, apocalyptic sun only for 1 hour. Imagine that??? Risintunturi gives you an another world experience, it's worth trying. The guides hospitality, and the information shared just made it a memorable day for us! Highly recommend this!!

Magical Frozen Forests of Riisitunturi with Photography & BBQ: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rovaniemi.
How much does Magical Frozen Forests of Riisitunturi with Photography & BBQ cost?
+
Prices start at $217 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 Magical Frozen Forests of Riisitunturi with Photography & BBQ take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Magical Frozen Forests of Riisitunturi with Photography & BBQ worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 15 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 Magical Frozen Forests of Riisitunturi with Photography & BBQ?
+
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 Magical Frozen Forests of Riisitunturi with Photography & BBQ suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Magical Frozen Forests of Riisitunturi with Photography & BBQ?
+
Around 5 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Magical Frozen Forests of Riisitunturi with Photography & BBQ 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:%100 Guaranteed Northern Lights Hunt&Small Group, Rovaniemi: Korouoma Canyon & Frozen Waterfalls Tour with BBQ. 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.

+

Not included: oneway surcharge for transfers to and from Apukka Resort € 40. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
