We recommend having a read-through of the itinerary above, and getting in touch if you have specific questions on fitness here.

This adventure is fast-paced and includes a road trip, however, the activities aren’t too strenuous so it is a fantastic trip for those with a normal level of fitness who want to see a lot in their time here. We also design our flow where we give enough downtime & space to explore on your own pace as well.

Fly into Rovaniemi Airport (RVN) and fly out of Helsinki Airport (HEL)

Please arrive in Rovaniemi by 1 pm on Day 1. Check in will be at 3 pm. The welcome meeting and dinner will be from 4.30 pm onwards starting at the hotel, which is located approximately 45 minutes away from the airport

On your final day, we recommend booking flights in the afternoon as you might want to relax in the morning. You are required to arrive in airport two to three hours before your flight and the hotel checkout will be at 12 pm.

We don't offer airport transfers to the hotel because of the different arrival times of Bucketlister. The easiest way is to get a taxi from the Rovaniemi airport / Train station to the Hotel. You can choose from Uber or Bolt.

We do recommend getting in touch with your fellow travellers on the WhatsApp group to coordinate if anyone is landing around the same time and share a cab to the hotel with them.

The luggage allowance for the internal flights is 23kg + 7kg (or in accordance with your International flight policy)

This is a well-orchestrated experience designed to leave room for discovery.

Some adventures are pre-planned. Some unfold on the fly. Add-ons can be chosen in advance, and the rest? Facilitators often suggest spontaneous ideas you can join in like a museum pop-in, a hidden cafe stop, or a live gig. These aren’t always in the gameplan, but they’re often the most memorable.

Expect space to explore solo, connect with your tribe, or recharge at your own pace. This is an edition, not an itinerary.

Note: Gameplans, experiences & hotels are subject to change based on on-ground conditions. These changes are rare but can happen with little notice due to availability, poor weather, seasonal changes, or other circumstances beyond our control, but we’ll always do our best to ensure it has little impact on your experience. From time to time, we may also make changes to your itinerary to try out new ideas and keep things fresh and exciting, which we will always try and communicate to you.

Think of the Northern Lights as nature’s diva - spectacular, unpredictable, never on command. Your edition is taking place in the season when the chances are high. We chase clear skies and monitor solar storms to stack the odds in your favor, but sightings are never guaranteed - just gloriously possible.
