Plan the perfect honeymoon trip to Finnish Lapland. Discover the best activities, suggested itineraries and practical tips with Outdoor Artisans at Pyhatunturi.
Why Lapland for a Honeymoon Trip
Lapland might not be the first destination that comes to mind for a honeymoon, but that is exactly what makes it perfect. Instead of crowded beaches and predictable luxury, imagine floating together under the Northern Lights, sharing a wood-fired sauna by a frozen lake, or paddling a steaming Arctic river in complete silence. A Lapland honeymoon with Outdoor Artisans is intimate, adventurous and utterly unforgettable.
Best Activities for a Honeymoon Trip
Here are the experiences we particularly recommend for honeymoon travellers:
- Aurora Floating - floating under the Northern Lights in a frozen lake at night
- Ice Floating - floating in a frozen lake wearing thermal dry suits for deep relaxation
- Winter SUP - stand-up paddleboarding on an Arctic river in dry suits during winter
All activities are professionally guided by Outdoor Artisans and include equipment, safety briefings and typically a warm meal. Group sizes are kept small - perfect for a honeymoon experience.
Suggested Itinerary
Day 1: Arrive at Pyhatunturi, settle into a cosy log cabin, evening Aurora Floating experience under the stars. Day 2: Morning Winter SUP on the Pyhajoki river, afternoon at leisure to explore the national park on snowshoes. Day 3: Ice Floating experience followed by a private lakeside sauna, departure or extend your stay.
This itinerary can be adjusted based on weather conditions, Northern Lights forecasts and your preferences. Outdoor Artisans is flexible and will help you make the most of whatever conditions nature provides.
Best Time to Visit
For a honeymoon trip, the winter season from December to March offers the most dramatic Arctic experience. However, each month has its character:
- December: Darkest month, most magical atmosphere, peak Northern Lights
- January-February: Coldest and most authentically Arctic, best snow conditions
- March: Longest sunny days with plenty of snow - many consider this the best month
Practical Information
Fly from Helsinki to Rovaniemi (1.5 hours), then drive 130 km north to Pyhatunturi (about 1.5 hours by car). Alternatively, fly to Kittila airport and drive east (about 1 hour). Both airports have daily connections during winter.
Accommodation near Pyhatunturi ranges from cosy log cabins to ski resort hotels. Book early for peak season (February-March). Outdoor Artisans can recommend the best options for your honeymoon trip.
