We believe the best way to experience the Arctic is away from the crowds, so we’ll pick you up in a comfortable SUV and head deep into the Lappish wilderness. Our destination is a secluded spot by a frozen lake, far from any city lights, where the silence is as powerful as the views. This is where your hunt for the Northern Lights begins. But we don't just wait for them to appear—we take the adventure further. You’ll hop on a snowmobile for a thrilling ride through the snowy forest, exploring the dark, magical landscape under the stars. To keep you warm and fueled, we’ll gather around a crackling open fire to grill traditional sausages and enjoy hot berry juice with a sweet local treat. It’s more than just a tour; it’s a night of real Lapland magic, cozy conversations by the fire, and the pure excitement of chasing the Aurora.

Misleading and a scam in the name of a ‘hunt’

1.00This was not a real chase — and that was extremely disappointing. A true aurora adventure hunt means actively driving to where the lights are strongest. Instead, we were taken to a fixed location — their own garage/backyard where their snow scooters are parked — regardless of where the actual aurora activity was happening. Our guide initially seemed sweet and mentioned he was tracking a YouTube channel for updates. However, it became clear that we were only being taken to one predetermined spot. We could visibly see stronger aurora activity in the opposite direction and even pointed out that other groups were heading there — but he refused to change course because he had to return to where their scooters were stationed. We were lucky there was some aurora visible at that location — but that was luck, not effort. The experience got worse: • Our package included dinner, but the guide insisted it was not included. It took nearly 20 minutes of back-and-forth before he finally admitted it was part of our booking. • Meanwhile, we were made to ride snowmobiles in -20°C for 30–35 minutes in near darkness, mostly going in circles — clearly just to pass time. • Most reputable aurora chases advertise 5–8 hour flexibility depending on conditions. Guidefather was rigid: maximum 3 hours, no flexibility. • On our way back, after we insisted that stronger lights were visible elsewhere, he briefly drove us toward the direction of the Arcticum area — but stopped in the most artificially lit part, where it was impossible to see anything clearly. • We were dropped back in just 2 hours 45 minutes. The guide was also unnecessarily rude and poorly informed. If you are looking for a combined snowmobile + fixed-location viewing tour, this might work for you. But if you are booking expecting a genuine, flexible aurora chase that follows the best conditions — this is not it. We felt misled.

5.00We initially booked this very trip as a family of 3 and were able to get a subtle glimpse of the fascinating Northern Lights. Our guide Andrei was so compassionate and accomodating & provided us with intriguing information about Finland in general alongside the Northern Lights. We were able to make conversation and have pleasant interactions whilst waiting and indulging in activities such as roasting marshmallows and having small talk. He was nothing but wholesome, entertaining and cooperative. We would reccommend both the tour and specifically our guide tremendously.
