Beyond Transfers: Private Day Trips to Lapland’s Best Attractions

When visiting Finnish Lapland, some of the most memorable experiences are found beyond your immediate destination.

You may be staying in Rovaniemi but want to discover Arctic wildlife in Ranua. Perhaps you are staying in Levi and want to visit Santa Claus Village in Rovaniemi. Or maybe you are looking for a unique evening adventure at Arcandia – Arctic Adventure Park.

The challenge is not always getting there. It is making the entire journey comfortable, flexible and stress-free.

At Lapland-Rides, we offer more than private airport and resort transfers. We also provide private day trips with your own vehicle and driver, allowing you to visit some of Lapland’s most popular attractions without worrying about driving, parking, winter road conditions or arranging transportation back.

Your private vehicle stays with you throughout the trip, and your driver waits while you enjoy your experience. When you are ready to leave, we take you safely back to your accommodation.

Rovaniemi to Ranua Wildlife Park – A Private Arctic Animal Day Trip

Ranua Wildlife Park is one of the most popular day trips from Rovaniemi, especially for families.

Located approximately 80 kilometres from Rovaniemi, Ranua Wildlife Park specializes in Arctic and northern animal species and is set among the forests of Finnish Lapland. Visitors can see species such as polar bears, lynx, reindeer and Arctic birds in a natural northern environment.

The Lapland-Rides way

We pick you up directly from your accommodation in Rovaniemi and drive you comfortably to Ranua.

Once you arrive, you can take your time exploring the wildlife park. Your private vehicle and driver remain available while you visit the park, so there is no need to worry about catching a scheduled bus or finding another way back to Rovaniemi.

When you have finished your visit, simply return to the vehicle and we drive you back to your accommodation.

Levi to Santa Claus Village in Rovaniemi – Meet Santa at the Arctic Circle

Staying in Levi but don’t want to miss the magic of Santa Claus?

A private day trip from Levi to Santa Claus Village allows you to combine your stay in one of Lapland’s most popular ski resorts with a visit to Rovaniemi’s world-famous Arctic Circle attraction.

At Santa Claus Village, you can meet Santa Claus, cross the Arctic Circle, explore the shops and restaurants and enjoy the Christmas atmosphere throughout the year. Santa Claus Village is open every day of the year.

Your private vehicle stays with you

Instead of arranging separate transportation for the return journey, you travel with your own private vehicle for the entire day.

We drive you from your accommodation in Levi to Santa Claus Village in Rovaniemi and wait for you while you enjoy your visit.

When your family has finished meeting Santa, shopping and exploring the Arctic Circle, your vehicle is ready for the journey back to Levi.

If you are based in Rovaniemi, a private day trip to Levi gives you the opportunity to experience one of Finland’s best-known ski resorts and the surrounding Arctic landscapes without changing hotels.

You can spend the day exploring Levi village and the ski resort, enjoy lunch, take in the fell scenery or combine your visit with other activities.

Why Choose a Private Day Trip?

A private day trip is different from simply booking a return transfer.

Your vehicle stays with you

This is one of the biggest advantages.

You are not dropped off at an attraction and left to arrange your return. Your private vehicle and driver wait for you while you enjoy your visit.

No fixed return bus

You do not have to finish your experience at exactly the right time to catch a scheduled bus.

Your return journey is arranged around your plans.

No winter driving stress

Lapland’s winter roads can be snowy, icy and dark, especially during the polar night.

With a local professional driver behind the wheel, you can relax and enjoy the scenery instead of concentrating on the road.

Door-to-door service

We pick you up from your accommodation and return you there after your day trip.

No bus stations. No searching for taxis. No walking through the snow with tired children or shopping bags.

Comfortable Mercedes-Benz minivans

Travel together in a comfortable private Mercedes-Benz passenger van with plenty of space for families and small groups.
