Experience Northern Nature in Every Season
Discover pure landscapes, bright summer nights, deep winter twilight and the chance to witness the northern lights. Join guided trips designed for small groups who want to explore Lapland through the eyes of a local.
Finnish Lapland offers more than scenery. It is a place shaped by silence, light, climate and local traditions. EXOTIC LAPLAND was created to share this world with visitors who want a genuine connection to nature. Your guide has lived his entire life in the region and knows its forests, rivers and seasonal changes in a way that only comes from years spent outdoors. This local knowledge shapes each trip from trail selection to the food prepared by the fire.
OUR TOURS THROUGH THE YEAR
Winter and Early Spring
Short day and evening tours close to town. Evening trips offer the possibility to see the northern lights although visibility always depends on clouds and solar activity. A lean to and fire site wait at the destination. Visitors can participate in the preparation of campfire delicacies if they wish. Duration about three to four hours. Private tours available on request.
Spring to Early Summer
A rapid shift from snow to blooming landscapes. Migratory birds return and forests awaken almost at once. These tours focus on observing the nature`s and season´s transformation and the life it brings.
Summer
Day hikes, overnight trips and longer excursions to nearby hills and wilderness areas. The light never fully fades in midsummer which creates a special atmosphere for walking and foraging.
Autumn
Crisp air, vivid autumn colours and rich harvests. Day tours continue and overnight trips remain possible early in the season. Later in autumn even the northern lights may appear.
WHY TRAVEL WITH A LOCAL GUIDE
Many activity companies rely on seasonal workers who have only a short introduction to the area. A local guide understands the land through experience. This affects safety, route choices, knowledge of wildlife, ingredients gathered in nature and stories linked to the region’s culture and beliefs. These insights add depth to your visit without taking attention away from the landscape itself.
Your guide is a craftsman and nature professional who is accustomed to working outdoors year round. This background supports an approach where quality, preparation and respect for nature come first.
