Our Trips
All of our trips are built around three core concepts.
The Sauna, The Guide and Meet The Locals.
The Sauna
The Finnish sauna is not just part of the journey — it is the journey. At Northern Star, every tour is built around the deeper meaning of sauna in Finnish life. We curate each experience to offer not just access to remarkable saunas, but a way into the culture, the rhythm, and the values they quietly embody.
The Guide
Most tours are led and guided by Ida Kaijalainen, founder of Northern Star and a lifelong sauna devotee. With deep roots in Finnish sauna tradition and a gentle, attentive guiding style, she offers guests more than knowledge — she offers presence, context, and care.
Meet the Locals
Meet the Locals offers guests a chance to step inside everyday Finnish people´s life — not as spectators, but as welcome visitors. Through shared meals, quiet conversations, and moments of simple presence, guests meet the authentic people who live the sauna culture rather than perform it
A concept exclusively developed by Northern Star.
Winter Tours
Step into Finland’s snowy silence. Our winter tours combine sauna, nature, and seasonal traditions for an unforgettable cold-weather escape.
Five days between Aalto’s Finland and the city’s classic public baths. From architecture to everyday objects, design is part of Finnish life with names like Aalto, Iittala, Marimekko and the Moomins. Days balance visits to iconic sites with time in public saunas, where bathing and conversation bring a simple rhythm. With a local guide you eat well, stay well and see Helsinki’s design culture through its spaces and stories. 13,500 DKK / 19,900 SEK
A romantic Christmas escape with four days of warmth, rhythm and quiet time together. December in southern Finland is festive yet gentle, with Christmas lights, winter water and the steady beat of sauna. Made for two or a set of friends, the trip offers easy travel, calm bases and time to be together. With authentic public saunas, Helsinki’s Christmas market and the option of private sauna time, it is a seasonal journey at your own pace. 6.300 DKK / 9,300 SEK.
After the succes of the first trip we made with gusmaster Nichlas Rasmussen, we are ready with a new trip. This time we go to Finland in the Winter time.

Even a short escape can shift something. In just two days, this journey offers four distinct sauna experiences — from a rooftop view to a ferry across the sea — alongside good beds, unhurried breakfasts, and the chance to see Helsinki not just as a city, but as a way of living. The rhythm is light. You arrive, settle in, and let the heat do its quiet work. Prices from 6,800 DKK/10 000 SEK per person.
The Sisterhood is created for women and for anyone who feels at home in women’s spaces. A trusted, supportive group where we share sauna, nature, and time together.

This five-day journey is for those who want to understand what sauna really means in Finland – not as a luxury, but as a way of life. Each day brings a new sauna experience: floating on a raft, hidden on an island, designed by architects, or kept alive by generations of locals. Prices from 9,500 DKK/14 000 SEK per person
