The tour starts and ends in Helsinki-Vantaa Airport (HEL). It is the main gateway for travellers arriving in the capital city.

All travellers will require a valid passport to enter Finland. The passport should have a validity for at least six months beyond the completion of travel. Most travellers will require a visa for entry into the EU/Schengen area which Finland is part of. Please check with the nearest Embassy or Consulate as immigration laws are very strict and entry may be refused. Each passenger must be personally responsible for ensuring she/he possesses valid travel documentation. If you will like assistance with your visa, please write to [email protected]

Travel insurance is mandatory to protect against loss of personal valuables, illness or unforeseen late cancellations. While suppliers make every effort to ensure guests' safety, we cannot be held responsible for events beyond our control.

No mandatory vaccinations are required. We advise you to check with your doctor incase you have any personal requirements. Also check with your local clinic or doctor a few weeks before the trip for any change in recommendations.

While the itinerary involves a flight from Helsinki to Ivalo and return back to Helsinki, potentially covering a significant distance.

In April & November, when visiting Arctic Finland, it's essential to dress warmly to combat the cold temperatures and potential snowfall. Essential items include an insulated jacket, thermal layers, waterproof boots, gloves, a warm hat, and scarves. Layered clothing is key to adjusting to varying temperatures, and don't forget indoor attire for city exploration in Helsinki. Consider optional snow gear if planning winter sports activities.
