We use our comfortable minivans that seat 6-8 people to hunt the Auroras - the Northern lights - so that we have the possibility to go as far as needed to find the Auroras. We cannot guarantee that you will see the Northern lights, but what we can guarantee is that we will do everything in our power to find them for you.

Our Aurora Hunt is organized for small groups to assure the quality of the service for our guests. All our guides are professional "Aurora Hunters" and can answer all your questions about Auroras, Finland, and the culture. The Hunt is always customized by the guide according to weather and the Aurora forecast, but it always includes transportation, English speaking guide, warm drinks, and some snacks.

  • Best memory of our trip

    Amar was a wonderful guide. Although we were not very confident in our English, he was incredibly kind and helpful. When we asked him to take photos with our iPhone, he gladly accepted and was so friendly. During the tour, he took us to various beautiful spots and even offered us warm juice and cookies. We were able to see a magnificent aurora, and it became the best memory of our trip! If we ever have the chance to come to Lapland again, we would definitely love to join this tour once more.

  • It is a friendly and enjoyable tour.

    He was a nice guide in a comfortable car. However, the weather was just too bad! The whole organisation was really good and the people were soo nice and they try their best to give you unforgettable moments... Weather permitting, this is the best tour

    We booked our tour last minute. Maksim, our guide was extremely meticulous. We loved our conversations with him. He was constantly coordinating with other colleagues to ensure he is the first one to know where there are aurora sightings and quickly took us to such places. He was an amazing conversationalist. Took really good pictures of us. Ensured we reach back to hotel safely.

    Although our luck on the weather was not the best, we still had an amazing first aurora tour in our life, THANKS TO AMAR. We recommend the trip with this company and with Amar. He suggested multiple options for some days in advance for the best experience, and also on the date of tour, he recommended us to go earlier, and he was just right! We managed to observe many lovely aurora, and moon ring as well!! The snack and hot berry drink was so lovely too, such a warm and delicious treat with the sweet thoughtful service. Also, please note that in first hour or so, we did not see aurora, but Amar kept looking for it, driving for long stopping at multiple spots, to make the best experience for us. That already moved many of us in the van. It was on my mom’s bucket list to watch aurora and it was worth traveling to Saariselkä. I’m happy I trusted them! :))

    Thanks to our guide Ivan's dedication and Timetravels team well-coordinated effort we were able to see an amazing aurora light show even when it was too cloudy in our area! Unlike some other groups which we passed by on the road, they were actively moving and changing their route according to weather conditions (very well equipped with various radar apps and constantly checking in with their contacts), so we ended up driving 1.5 hours to the south (and not north as usual) to find some really clear skies. And what an amazing sight it was! The tour went on for quite a lot longer than the planned 3 hours, and it was clear that for our guide the most important thing was to give everyone a wonderful experience. Really have only positive things to say about this experience. Looking at other reviews, they seem to hold up their level of quality for the last couple of years.

  • I had a very good experience thanks to a good guide.

    We enjoyed the Wildlife Preserve and Takhini Hot Spring tour and also we were very happy to see Aurora on our last night. It was the first time in 13 years we had seen an aurora burst. The explanation about the Northern Lights was also interesting. On the way back, we didn't just go home, we checked the sky and showed us the Northern Lights if they were out, so we could see different types of Northern Lights. I thought it was great professionalism. I was not able to tell them on the spot because I am not good at speaking English, but thank you again. Please continue to be a great guide.

  • Fantastic husky safari and aurora hunt

    We did the aurora hunt and 10km husky safari with Arctic Timetravels and both activities were absolutely fantastic. The communication before and during our visit was clear and professional. We were in Saariselkä for a week and Arctic Timetravels kept in regular contact with us and selected the best night for our hunt. Our guide Ali was wonderful and took us to some beautiful, remote spots and we lit a campfire which was lovely to keep warm. Ali was so determined to show us the northern lights and our tour was over 4.5 hours. We were rewarded with the most incredible aurora storm which was so amazing to see. The husky safari was equally wonderful. Walter picked us up from our accommodation and we had a beautiful drive up towards lake Inari. Our husky guide was excellent - calm, professional and clear with her instructions. We drove through the most stunning scenery of snow covered trees, open lake and it was the most thrilling experience. We absolutely loved it. Afterwards we went to the Kota for juice, biscuits and a talk about the huskies. I had done a lot of research before our visit and the talk confirmed the caring and responsible nature of this farm. They care for the retired dogs and only have puppies when there is a need for them in the upcoming years. I highly recommend Arctic Timetravels for their activities. We felt they went over and above our expectations and really cared about giving us the best experience ever. Thank you!

    We highly recommend the Aurora hunt! Excellent communication during booking, and flexibility offered to change the date of the trip based on best likelihood of seeing the Aurora. Max was a fantastic guide, helpful, knowledgable and went above and beyond. We were lucky enough to see the Aurora multiple times on our trip and it was spectacular, absolutely stunning! Thank you so much!
