Fun but expensive
The area where the dinner is held is beautiful and the snowmobile tour around the property was a fun experience. The food is average considering the cost and no alcohol is included. Also we were asked to come earlier so chances of seeing northern lights were limited. Overall, a good experience but very expensive considering the quality of the food.
Response from the operator: Dear Zach, thank you for your feedback. We will do our homework for the next season! You all welcome back!

Fabulous experience!
This was a fantastic experience for us. We were picked up at the right time at the designated place and takenn to this wonderful place. The set up was dreamy. Food was excellent and our host explained the dishes. We managed to see Aurora. To top this was a surprise snowmobile ride. Overall this is a recommended event one should plan to go form

Dissapointing.
Unfortunately, this was a very dissapointing experience. Apart from the snowmobile ride which was very nice and well organised, the conditions in the igloo were not pleasant. There was a large amount of smoke which made it very difficult for us to see and enjoy our food, and inside it was incredibly cold. Understanding that it was in fact very cold outside, heating measures should have been taken into consideration. The food was fine but not what we expected given the price range.
Response from the operator: Hello Dear, Sorin! Thank you for your feedback. We totally understand that you felt cold during coldest week in Rovaniemi. During your tour temperature was - 34. Other company Just cancelled your original tour and you booked with us for the very last minute. We glad you saw one of the most beautiful Northern Lights last evening. Now you know As its colder outside its more chances for the Northern Lights. Best regards

Great experience, private and fun
Great dinner in an amazing atmosphere. Really well planned and done. And the snowmobiles and quads at the end was a highlight for the kids. We enjoyed it a lot. We did not see Northern lights, guess we weren’t lucky with the night, but I don’t put it on the organizer. We also had an issue with pick up time. It was at 7pm, they came at 6pm and called us at 6.30pm saying that they had been waiting since 6pm… we ended up rushing through dinner to make the full program, and they should have communicated better if they were planning to change pick up time, but organizer managed it well in the end and let us stay longer

A must do for all Aurora hunters
Exceptional… our guide Andre was marvellous.. we were truly unsure if we would do this trip after our hectic long flight from home .. but Thank God we did it… the food and ambience was amazing.. on top of it we had extremely rare sighting of strong Aurora

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
The Aurora Gastronomy: Gourmet Glass Igloo Dinner & Aurora Safari: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rovaniemi.
How much does The Aurora Gastronomy: Gourmet Glass Igloo Dinner & Aurora Safari cost?
+
Prices start at $245 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 The Aurora Gastronomy: Gourmet Glass Igloo Dinner & Aurora Safari take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 The Aurora Gastronomy: Gourmet Glass Igloo Dinner & Aurora Safari worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 36 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 The Aurora Gastronomy: Gourmet Glass Igloo Dinner & Aurora Safari?
+
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 The Aurora Gastronomy: Gourmet Glass Igloo Dinner & Aurora Safari suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The Aurora Gastronomy: Gourmet Glass Igloo Dinner & Aurora Safari?
+
Around 13 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Aurora Gastronomy: Gourmet Glass Igloo Dinner & Aurora Safari 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.
