Me and Aishley were planning Finnish Lapland since long. We finally started our research on internet and landed on Lestacworld website’s tour page of Finnish Lapland with Kirkenes crab safari tour. Being Foodie, we both loved the idea of doing Kirkenes crab safari with Ivalo and Rovaniemi visit. The itinerary mentioned in the tour was covering almost every thing we were looking for like Santa claus Village, Igloo stay, Kemi Ice Breaker and additional Kirkenes crab safari.
After comparing with others, even offline we realised that the website is offering the best deal. We finally booked our tour online on their website. Immediately after making payment we were connected by their local executive and our Journey with Lestacworld started.
From the day we landed at Ivalo since our flight from Rovaniemi, everything was arranged perfectly. Our decision of experiencing Crab Safari was absolutely correct. The Kirkenes crab Safari is worth doing without a second thought. It is totally a different experience which you might not be able to do anywhere else in the world.The fresh crab meal was the outcome of efforts and it felt too delicious.
Our Stay in Kakslauttanen Igloo stay was also perfect. The resort is a must visit, though i think one more night was required. Also, i understand that any extra wish attracts extra cost. Any ways Santa claus village day was fun, we had an amazing time there. They booked lunch for us in Santamus restaurant in Santa claus village and it was delicious.
Ice Breaker Kemi tour was some thing we did for the first time in life. It was exciting and best part was floating on the ice. Journey from Rovaniemi to Kemi was again scenic and mesmerising.
We both will finally give 10/10 points to Lestacworld for arranging this Finnish Lapland with Kirkenes crab Safari.
