Kemijärvi: activities, tours and guides

Kemijärvi's outings on the booking platforms come from four sellers. Most collect you in town; one expects you to find your own way to the farm.

On the booking platforms, four sellers account for what is sold from Kemijärvi. Jauri Resort runs a reindeer sleigh ride with lasso throwing and a night-sky evening at a kota. Rovaniemi Insider, despite the name, sells an aurora hunt and an ice fishing trip that pick up in Kemijärvi, at the Academy hotel or Jauri Resort. Backcoutry Lapland takes groups out on sliding snowshoes, and Kairankutsu runs a husky farm visit. The two aurora evenings are compared in northern lights in Kemijärvi.

All of them collect you in town except the husky farm, which meets you in its own car park at the start time, so you need a way of getting there. Its ride is by wagon or by sled depending on the season.1

Trips from Kemijärvi to the Santa Claus Village and to Korouoma canyon are sold as well. Those places are covered in meeting Santa Claus in Rovaniemi and Korouoma canyon from Rovaniemi.

The operators’ own sites sell more. Suomu Safaris on Suomutunturi runs husky rides and six snowmobile safaris with child prices, Hemmula farm sells husky rides, Jauri Resort adds ice fishing, a heated-sleigh aurora evening and a snowmobile evening in its own shop, and Lappi Creative sells evening ice fishing and a campfire night. The activity guides for Kemijärvi compare them.
