Experience the Thrill of Finland Adventure Tours

Picture yourself mushing your own dogsled through silent, snow-draped forests, the air crisp and the scenery otherworldly. Finland adventure tours introduce you to such exhilarating experiences. If you're visiting in winter, the northern regions offer incredible snow-based activities. From snowshoeing in the magical Lapland to cross-country skiing in endless white terrains, it's a winter wonderland that calls out to all adventurers.

The Midnight Sun and Beyond

Summertime unveils a different mystical aspect of Finland—the Midnight Sun. Imagine the sun lingering on the horizon, bathing everything in a gentle golden glow. It’s the perfect backdrop for kayaking on serene lakes, hiking through national parks, or simply enjoying the blissful tranquillity Finland boasts. Finland adventure travel ensures you experience nature’s grandeur, with 40 national parks teeming with flora and fauna.

Unique Cultural Encounters in Finnish Lapland

In the heart of Lapland, cultural richness emerges from its indigenous Sámi people. Engage with their vibrant traditions, from reindeer herding to crafting intricate handicrafts. Participating in these activities provides a deeper understanding of Finland's indigenous cultures, making your trips to Finland even more meaningful. You might even find yourself part of a reindeer sledding team, gliding seamlessly over snow under the guidance of an experienced Sámi herder.

Savour the Flavours of Finnish Cuisine

Food is an essential chapter in any adventure, and Finland’s culinary offerings are a delightful narrative of its landscape and history. Satiate your palate with unique offerings such as smoked arctic char or reindeer stew. For a truly local experience, sample kalakukko, a traditional fish pie, or savour some creamy lohikeitto, Finland’s famous salmon soup. Adventure tours often feature opportunities to enjoy local cuisine, adding a flavoursome twist to your explorations.

Enchanting Experiences Under the Northern Lights

One of the most awe-inspiring experiences in Finland is witnessing the Aurora Borealis. Imagine the sky painting itself in hues of green, purple, and pink. This natural phenomenon is best viewed in the north, and many Finland adventure travel packages offer tailored excursions for this purpose. Whether you’re viewing them from a glass igloo or a cozy wilderness cabin, the northern lights are sure to leave you speechless.

Practical Tips for Your Finnish Adventure

  • Timing Your Visit: While Finland is spectacular year-round, your activities will depend significantly on the season. For winter sports and northern lights, visit between December and March. The Midnight Sun and hiking are best from June through August.
  • Getting Around: Finland’s robust infrastructure ensures ease of travel. Utilize the efficient train network to traverse stunning landscapes or rent a car for more secluded exploration.
  • Embrace the Language: While English is widely spoken, learning a few basic Finnish phrases like "kiitos" (thank you) adds a touch of respect and enriches your interactions.

Finland beckons with its enchanting mix of thrill and tranquillity, ensuring every traveller finds their own adventure among its offerings. Whether it's the spellbinding landscapes, the rich cultural encounters, or the tantalizing tastes, this beautiful country has something special in store for everyone who dares to explore it. Start planning your trips to Finland today to uncover the magic that awaits.

You should try a Zen meditation session. Imagine slipping into a silk kimono for the day—carefully tied by an expert dresser, every fold precise, every colour chosen to suit the season. It’s a ritual that feels as personal as it is timeless.

What do I love about Japan? In a word - EVERYTHING. The incredible contrast that Japan offers - new/innovative vs old/traditional, the warm and welcoming people, the incredible rich culture, the culinary wonders awaiting around every corner, the cleanliness, efficiency and safety. It's one of the best places to visit in Asia in my opinion.

Pub Street in Siem Reap, Cambodia, is a local favourite with very inexpensive drinks. It's also a great place to try the local delicacy, BBQ frog.

I love how laidback and relaxed Laos is compared to other countries in Southeast Asia. It's like the best of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand all rolled into one, and then sent back in time 20 to 30 years.

Allan Birkett at Goway has been an absolute godsend! Over the past year, he has helped me plan numerous vacations—especially honeymoons—and has been an incredible partner every step of the way. He is always quick to respond, patient with my clients' frequent changes, and goes above and beyond to help whenever an issue comes up. His knowledge, professionalism, and dedication make my job as a travel advisor so much easier. I truly appreciate everything Allan does and highly recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional service. Thank you, Allan, for always being thereBrooke Echols

Our 2-week trip to Normandy, Switzerland and Italy after we disembarked from the Queen Mary 2 in Southampton in mid-May was superb. Michael Keon did an amazing job of putting together highlights for us to see and visit with the short time we had. All the train reservations, private and small group tours and transportations were very well coordinated, on time, and usually exceeded our expectations. Drivers were courteous and knowledgeable. Mike did a wonderful job getting everything coordinated, in spite of our almost “last minute” booking. I booked a month-long trip through GOWAY back in 1989 for Australia, New Zealand and Fiji, and they were superb then. So I tried them again, and found the entire organization to be even better. Mike was quick to respond to any questions that came up regarding booksings and times, regardless of the 6-hour time difference. Just superb! Although we had a nasty experience in Milan, GOWAY was very responsive and saw to our requests and our needs. Again, Michael Keon is the person who coordinated our travel. I will ask for Mike when I travel again with GOWAY. I recommend GOWAY highly. PJ Wheeler

Goway helped plan our two week trip to Peru and they (Virginia in particular) did a great job. The on-site logistics with Condor Travel went very smoothly, and the trip exceeded our expectations overall. They proactively suggested changes to our initial itinerary which were welcomed. I would recommend them and would work with them again in the future.Kate O'Neill

I recently went on an African Safari with my brother-in-law and sister and another couple who I knew. The entire experience was absolutely unbelievable. The complete details were flawlessly coordinated from the transfers to the breathtaking lodges. Our guides Peter showed us Kenya and Maulid Tanzania were very knowledgeable and very sharp eyes for finding the animals. We were able to see the animals up close, learn a lot about the people, birds , vegetation etc. We had several sundowners in the bush really added to a magical experience with beautiful sunsets. I would highly recommend Goway to all my friends, they will not be disappointed. Thank you to Bijal for the excellent African Safari that you put together for us. You were wonderful.Nancy Hay
