This guide is built from what we have learned living in Rovaniemi and writing about Lapland travel for years. Every detail below is from first-hand experience or from the live StayLapland product pages — never invented.

What is the HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5 code?

HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5 is a reader discount code we negotiated with StayLapland — the activity operator we use most often in Rovaniemi. It gives you 5% off the total price of any activity you book through their site, with no minimum spend and no expiry date. The code works across northern lights tours, husky safaris, snowmobile rides, reindeer experiences, ice fishing, sauna sessions, and combination packages.

We are Joona and Alla — we live in Rovaniemi and have done most of these tours ourselves, often multiple times across different seasons. StayLapland offered us a commission-tracking discount code for our readers after we kept recommending their tours on the blog. We only share codes for operators we actually rate, and this is one of them.

The 5% might sound modest, but when a family of four books two or three activities in a week, the numbers add up to a meaningful saving — sometimes €30–60 depending on which tours you pick. We'll show you the real maths below.

Which activities does it work on?

The HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5 code works on all StayLapland activities bookable through their website — that is, everything listed through their website. This includes every category: northern lights, husky, snowmobile, reindeer, ice fishing, sauna, Santa Claus experiences, and multi-activity combo days.

There are no excluded tours and no minimum spend. Individual tours, private tours, full-day combos — the 5% applies at checkout on all of them.

StayLapland runs tours from November through March for winter activities, and from June through August for summer options. The code is valid across both seasons, so if you're planning a midnight sun trip as well as a winter aurora hunt, it covers you both times.

One practical note: the code must be entered before you confirm payment. You cannot apply it retroactively to a booking you've already made. We'll walk through exactly where to enter it in the next section.

How to apply the code step by step

Applying HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5 is straightforward. Here is exactly what to do:

1. Visit the StayLapland website and choose your activity.
2. Select your date, group size, and any upgrades (such as a damage waiver for snowmobile tours).
3. Click through to the booking summary screen.
4. Look for the promo code or discount code field — it appears on the payment page, usually just above the total price.
5. Type HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5 (all caps, no spaces) and click Apply.
6. The 5% is deducted from the subtotal before you pay. Confirm the updated total before entering card details.

The whole process takes about thirty seconds. If the field doesn't appear immediately, scroll down slightly — it sometimes loads just below the price breakdown. If you hit any issues, StayLapland's WhatsApp support is responsive and can usually help within a few minutes.

Northern Lights tours: best use of the discount

The northern lights category is where most readers use HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5, and it makes sense — aurora tours tend to be the most expensive single activity on a Rovaniemi itinerary. The Northern Lights Hunting Bus Tour5% off · HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5 is the one we recommend most for first-timers: it runs by comfortable bus, includes a professional guide and photographer, and comes with a 100% money-back guarantee if the auroras don't appear during your tour. The duration is typically 4–5 hours depending on conditions.

What does 5% actually save here? It depends on the current price, which varies by season and availability — check the live price on the product page for the most accurate figure. The important thing is the code applies to the full booking, so the more people in your group, the larger the absolute saving.

A few things worth knowing about this particular tour before you book: hotel pickup and drop-off is included from the main Rovaniemi area, warm clothing (overalls, boots, gloves) is provided, and professional photos under the northern lights are part of the deal if the lights appear. You don't need any prior outdoor experience.

Husky & snowmobile tours: what 5% saves you

Husky and snowmobile are the two activity categories where Rovaniemi tourists most often overpay, simply because there are so many operators competing on superficial details while the actual experiences vary significantly. The Nulkki Husky Adventure5% off · HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5 is a 5 km self-driven husky sleigh ride that lasts around 4 hours in total and departs from a location in the Kuoksajärvi Forest area. It includes warm winter clothing, an English-speaking guide, and hotel pickup. Children are welcome from age 3 upward (with an adult); under-13s must be accompanied by a full-paying adult.

For snowmobile, the Wilderness Snowmobile Safari5% off · HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5 is StayLapland's main half-day option — 5 hours total, with roughly 2 to 2.5 hours of actual driving time through Arctic wilderness. Lunch on an open fire is included. To drive, you need a valid driving licence; passengers don't. Children under 140 cm travel in a sled pulled by the guide, and the minimum age is 3. The maximum self-liability in case of damage is €900, but you can reduce that to €250 by purchasing an optional waiver for €25 online or on the day.

Applying the reader code to either of these at the time of booking costs nothing extra and takes seconds — the 5% deduction is automatic once you enter HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5 in the promo field.

Getting the most out of HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5

The code is simple by design: HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5 takes 5% off the price of every StayLapland activity at checkout, with no minimum spend, no expiry date and no excluded tours — husky, reindeer and northern lights tours are all included. Based on how StayLapland's checkout works at time of writing, one promo code is applied per booking, so enter it every time you book, whether that's one tour or five.

When to book? Because the code never expires, there's no reason to wait for a better moment — the thing that actually runs out is availability. Christmas week and January departures for husky, reindeer and guaranteed aurora tours regularly sell out weeks ahead, so if your dates are fixed, book as soon as you know them and apply the code then. For summer activities and quieter months like November or March there's more flexibility, but the 5% is the same whenever you book.

Tips for booking Rovaniemi activities online

Having lived here for years and booked dozens of tours — both for ourselves and to point friends and family in the right direction — here is what actually makes a difference when booking Rovaniemi activities:

Book at least a few weeks ahead for peak dates. December weekends, Christmas week, and New Year fill up fast. Some northern lights tours sell out 6–8 weeks in advance in a good aurora season. Booking early also means you pick the departure time that suits your schedule rather than whatever's left.

Check the weather window before you commit. StayLapland allows free cancellation up to 24 hours before the activity, which gives you genuine flexibility to rebook if conditions look poor. For northern lights tours, the guaranteed view product removes weather risk entirely with its money-back policy.

Group size affects value. Some tours — particularly private options — have a minimum group size of 2. If you're travelling solo, joining a shared departure is usually both cheaper and more social. The group bus northern lights tour is well-run; you're not sacrificing quality for the lower price point.

Read the what's-included list carefully. Most StayLapland tours include warm clothing, guide, and pickup. But some add-ons like the snowmobile damage waiver cost extra. Know what you're paying before you hit checkout, then apply HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5 on the total.
