Green & Blue Slowtravelling review
Lapland's first aurora tours designed specifically for children, with pedagogical guides.
Santa Claus Village
Our verdict
A special family evening rather than a serious aurora hunt.
Overview
Green & Blue specialises in slow, child-focused experiences. Its aurora tour takes families to a private lake area near Rovaniemi, where guides with a teaching background read local stories by the bonfire while you wait for the lights.
What the night is like
