Snow fun, reindeer feeding, husky ride - We had a fantastic time with lunch. The kid's enjoyed most of the activities. Staff was friendly and easy communicate. Husky ride was amazing even a little bit short but great experience for us. I would recommend this company 👍

Snow and fun day for sure!!! - Our family liked this tour very much!
Amazing value for money and full of experience covering everything you need to try out in Lapland.
We haven't stayed in Apukka resort, so they picked us up from the Rovaniemi city center.
We started to enjoy the day from the very beginning when we arrived and saw such beautiful surroundings - frozen lake, finish traditional Sami house, horses on the territory and sunrise (at 10 in the morning as it is the North!)))
We went to change and our activities started!
First, we sled from the small mountain and it was fun as we didn't have a chance to sled anywhere else in Rovaniemi. When we tried out show shoes.
After it, we went to ride on reindeer and huskies! Such a blast! We even managed to ride on reindeer twice. The husky ride is so fast and exciting as well.
After that we had a lunch buffet and when our son was able to ride on a snowmobile. While he was having fun we were taught how to catch a reindeer in a wild. We also had some free time to slide again.
I would advise it to everyone traveling to Rovaniemi as it is good value for money.

Good tours - We booked 2 tours with Apukka and included pick up from the city centre. We did the snowmobile safari into the wilderness and Snow Train Northern Lights tours. The snowmobile tour was a good length, it gave you both adequate time to take turns in driving. It was quite bumpy sitting as a passenger for those that have any motion sickness issues. We were unlucky during our week stay in Rovaniemi that the northern lights did not appear once all week. The tour still takes place, be aware that the train moves slower than you can walk, it seemed to take forever. The team did a good job of keeping people entertained even though there was nothing to look at.

Not for the dare-devils, but nice with children - We stayed at the Apukka resort itself, and for us this was a nice way to quickly get introduces to a variety of snow-fun. Yes, it is expensive, and I would not travel all the way to the resort just for this.
It mainly caters to children, for adults this is only interesting if you have never been to the snow before. In our group there were children aged 4-8 who enjoyed it very much, and as parents you could also try out stuff without having to worry about the kids. Trying cross country skiing and snowshoeing without having to do a full two hour tour is nice enough with smaller children. The interaction with the huskies and reindeer was more than on our dedicated 'reindeer farm visit', so that was a good bonus.
Emilia was our primary guide, and she was very very nice. However, all the other ones were also quick to help out and seemed to enjoy giving out information on Lappish life.
The lunch was the lunch buffet in the restaurant, which is not super special, but absolutely a solid meal. My only negative was the fact that we spend quite a lot of money on this activity 'with lunch' and then got charged almost 5 euro for a single glass of apple juice. That was a bit of a let down.

Apukka snow and fun - Activities were fun for kids as well as us adults (we were family of 4) and we had good time. Guides were friendly and managed all professionally and made maximum effort for us to enjoy all activities. Only negative thing was lunch, after 3 hours outside we were looking for tasty lunch and we got just soup and salad and bread (no main meal) which was disappointment and shame.

AVOID - Very Disappointing & Overpriced. - Very Disappointing & Overpriced - AVOID.
Snow shoes and skis on flat ground are boring. Tobogganing was closed and there was only 1 snowmobile at a time.
The huskies and reindeers were nice as was the lunch.
Our kids had so much more snow and fun sledding for FREE at Angry Birds Park and NaavaCafe in Rovaniemi city centre. We would avoid this tour and look at other ones instead, the resort itself looked impressive.
It feels like we were fooled paying so much for so little. It was the only let down of our otherwise amazing trip to Lapland.

Very cheap tour, not a good value for your money - First of all, if you’re staying at Apukka do not waste your money because half of the time you’ll be at the resort either havung lunch or playing in the snow which is something you’re already doing anyways.
The tour itself has a first part of snow playing which is the best part of the tour, then you go with the reindeers to this very crappy ride around a block of trees and the sleeds have absolutely no blankets, everything is very much scrapped together.
The rest area is a tepee with a fire where they have a warm finnish drink, maybe also coffee and a hot chicolate for the kids could be organized.
The resort is great, but the tours are not something I would suggest

Do not pay for snow and play if you are a guest of the hotel already even though the hotel will recommend it to make $ - Do not pay for snow and play if you are a guest of the hotel already. The 1st part of the package you already have access to as part of your accom. You can buy lunch, which is 2 hours after a huge buffet breakfast that you dont really need, the husky ride and a raindeer ride for the half the cost… The hotel will suggest it to rip you off. Disappointed.

Don`t choose Apukka ! - Not good value for money!
Not only this tour, but all others and the Apukka facility... are not worthy.
They charge as a 7-star hotel, and it is just a glamping facility.. with not service at all and bad food. We would never recommend this place.
