Experience the thrill of snowmobiling through Lapland after dark on a nighttime safari across snowy forests and gentle fell landscapes. Following easy trails beneath the Arctic sky, you’ll ride far from artificial lights into remote wilderness — ideal conditions for Northern Lights searching.
Feel the excitement of driving through silent, snow-covered scenery where frosted trees open into wide sky-viewing areas. The combination of adventure, Arctic silence, and riding beneath the stars makes this a truly unforgettable experience. While the Aurora Borealis is a natural phenomenon and sightings cannot be guaranteed, the remote location offers excellent opportunities when conditions are favorable.
During the journey, we stop at a carefully selected forest location to light a fire and enjoy light snacks. Warm up, relax, and hear your guide share stories about the Northern Lights and life in the Arctic.

3.00The tour says that lasts 5 hours only lasted 3, we could not see auroras I know that they do not ensure that they see and that I understand but they should comply with what says that the tour lasts, the guide very good guide and very good attitude, very good food but it is important to meet the conditions of what is being paid.
Beautiful Northern Lights and Snowmobile Tour

4.00We stayed in Lapland snowmobiling and overall it was a very nice experience. The scenery was impressive and the tour well organized. The group was relatively large with about 25–30 people and there were two guides, which was a bit much in some cases. In a conversation the guide also apologized for this and said himself that the group size was actually a little too big, we found that very honest and likeable. Particularly positive was how much attention was paid to our safety. In addition, photos of Jan were taken and there were drinks in between. The guides were very, very friendly, helpful and spoke good English. A real highlight was that we could even see Northern Lights. Overall a great tour with small reductions in group size, which we can still highly recommend.
Worth the price, Wonderful experience

5.00Our guide Tome was amazing! He was timely, welcoming, and most importantly ensured that everyone was cared for and safe. He gave very clear instructions about how to operate the vehicle and safety instructions. We went at night during a snow storm - it was quite the experience even though we didnt see the lights. The ride also seemed very long! Very worth it. I am so glad we booked this last minute as it created wonderful memories for our time in Finland.
Our guide made the experience. His dry sense of humour and straightforward explanations were excellent

Snowmobile into the Lapland wilderness

4.00Overall, this was a great experience as we snowmobiled deeper into the wilderness at night and away from the city lights. Our guide, David, was punctual at picking us up at our hotel. Had great conversations and felt very welcome. Although we didn’t get to see the Northern lights due to poor weather, we still had a great time. The experience would’ve been better if the tour company had better communication. We sent messages to two different phone numbers but no reply. We sent an email as instructed by one of the auto-reply numbers but didn’t get a response. We could only confirm pickup point after getting help from our hotel reception calling the number directly.

5.00A great tour through a beautiful landscape, top guide, we were alone with him and we were even lucky and saw the Northern Lights. Super organized, top catering, all in all a great experience, we have been to Lapland 4 times now and this is one of the best tours we have done so far. Thank you very much for that
