As the Arctic night falls, you’ll embark on snow-covered trails far from city lights, surrounded by silent frozen forests and open landscapes. During this guided tour, you’ll visit the spots with vast, clear skies - perfect for Aurora viewing. If lucky, the Northern Lights will appear, painting the heavens with green, purple, or red waves - a stunning reward. Along the way, you’ll pause for a warm drink and light snack by a crackling campfire, soaking in the Arctic’s stillness and magic. Whether the lights dance or stars quietly shine, snowmobiling through pristine nature while chasing the Aurora offers an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

My husband and I absolutely loved this experience. Huge thank you to Elise and Jesus for being fantastic guides and ensuring we were all safe and having fun. We didn’t see the Aurora (100% cloud cover) but it didn’t spoil the evening at all. Book it. You won’t be disappointed.
Perfect!!

Earlier this year I joined snowmobile tour but didn’t have the chance to see the aurora yet. The snowmobile experience was super super great 10/10. The guide was friendly and supportive, definitely the best experience in Finland. I also came back in Oct to catch the aurora, and luckily, I got it. It's so magical and worth trying. I really want to come back early next year to enjoy snowmobile even more
We had a great time! No...

We had a great time! No aurora since it was cloudy but Yuca did his best to get us into a prime spot. At one point the app was showing us in the red and best probability which I had never seen before! However clouds never passed but we still had an amazing time snowmobiling in the Artic Circle and stayed warm with the jumpsuits and gloves they provide. Yuca was an amazing guide, very friendly and knowledgeable! Highly recommend him and this experience
Worth the time and money

Snowmobiles ran well, the pathway we took was quite bumpy but the views were nice and sky was perfectly clear. Although no auroras were seen during the ride, it was a great way to spend the evening. Although, we got stuck behind someone who wasn't following the rules and the instructions had to keep informing him of rule breaks (he was riding color but trying to film, swerving around instead of staying in line, and slowing down randomly and speeding up a ton to catch up when we got behind).
Amazing Aurora chase on snowmobiles

We wanted to express our gratitude to Sunny Safari for an amazing experience snowmobiling to search for Northern Lights. Sami and Carlos were very friendly and helpful and did a great job in maximizing our time to spot the Northern Lights deep in the woods of Lapland. Highly recommend!
Must try snowmobile experience

Great evening we have a nice group, it’s was like -12 so definitely wear extra layers of clothes under the suits giving. We only seen like 30 seconds of the northern because of clouds but it was still amazing. Would love to do a day time tour also.
Very nice trip

Very well organized. Good introduction to the Snowmobile. But a little too big a group, you could have divided into two groups. That would be better. Thanks to Sami our guide, he was great. We left a hat in the locker room and he would have gone back especially for us:)
Wear all your layers. Then go buy more layers and wear them. Maybe steal a friend's layers to wear too.

We didn't see the Aurora, which is fine - she's an unpredictable beauty. However, this was the COLDEST EXPERIENCE ON THE PLANET. Granted, it was a very cold February evening (-26deg c) however, even with alllll the cold weather gear on (I'm talking thermals, jumpers, snow coats, overalls, balaclava, salopettes, gloves , snoods, scarves and hats) a grown woman on our trip was crying she was so close to hypothermia. Juice and biscuits were a let down and the "campfire" was laughable. Snowmobiles were fun, and well maintained. Guides were pleasant. Are we glad we did it - yes now I can confirm we have all fingers and toes accounted for.. Would we do it again - no.
Exciting and adventurous

Carlos was a great guide. It's similar to riding a jetski, be sure to accelerate and keep the throttle open when turning!
