Saariselkä: Aurora Photo Tour by Car with Transfer & Drinks

5.Aurora Photo Tour by Car with Transfer & Drinks

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 116 reviews · 3 hours · from $135

3-hour northern lights photo tour from Saariselkä with hotel transfer, gingerbread cookies, hot drinks, and an online photo link.

“Unfortunately, the tour was disappointing. We did see the aurora; however, the driver didn’t show much enthusiasm, only driving for a while and stopping in a lay-by next to the road. There was some aurora activity, but the high tension cables above spoiled the occasion (as they would interfere with the view and -of course- with the pictures). The driver commented that “we don’t need to go elsewhere: we’ll see the same lights” (i’m paraphrasing, but that was the message). We knew that, but a search for a picturesque scenario (eg, the frozen lake Ukonjarvi ) would have made for a much better experience than stopping at the side of…”

Ivalo: Lake Inari Northern Lights Tour w/ Reindeer & Dinner

/ August 15, 2026

7.Lake Inari Northern Lights Tour w/ Reindeer & Dinner

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 80 reviews · 4 hours · from $194

Sleigh across frozen Lake Inari for a Northern Lights shot, then warm up with reindeer, and a homemade 3-course teepee dinner.

“Zonder noorderlicht (wat natuurlijk nooit te garanderen is) is deze tocht wat magertjes. Het is vooral een (koude) tocht over het meer in een slee achter een sneeuwscooter gevolgd door een tussenstop in een tipi tent met vuur waarop worstje/soep/brood worden klaargemaakt en waar je de gelegenheid krijgt 2 rendieren te voeren. Daarna nog paar minuten terug met de slee naar de auto die ons terugbracht naar de beginlocatie waar we onze dikke geleende pakken konden inleveren en daarna teruggebracht werden naar ons hotel. Als totaalpakket niet slecht als aanbod, maar in de praktijk zonder noorderlicht heeft het weinig om het lijf.”

Auroras in Saariselkä photo tour with car and on-foot viewing, winter gear, hot drinks, local legends, and guide photos later.

“Very poor experience with this operator. Viator should check the credibility of tour operators and put some checks and balances. There was no office at the location mentioned in booking and no person at the provided location at the tour time. On calling to customer care, he asked us to wait till 9pm at -27 degrees temp outside and talked rudely also. It seemed they have overbooked the tour and spoiled our experience. Big No for this operator.”

Car-based Northern Lights hunt from Ivalo with warm drinks, expert local drivers, and smartphone photo tips in small groups.

“It was one of the best nights of my life! Travelled with my husband and cousin and booked this aurora tour. I was worried at first because forecast was first cloudy, then we had a very amazing show of the northern lights back at our hotel before the tour started. Then, when time came for the tour, we thought we won't see it again, but because of the very good knowledge of our guide Samuel, we had another unbelievable aurora show up at the hills. We persistently stayed at the area despite the very freezing night, and other tour already left. Lo and behold it was the most amazing sky…”

12.Northern lights tour to Lake Inari, incl. dinner

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 40 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $214

Small-group Lake Inari northern lights hunt from Saariselkä, with sleigh ride, warm gear, reindeer feeding, and a campfire dinner.

“Small group. They will pick you up from your hotel, then give you thermal clothes, then drive you on a snowmobile sleigh. You can feed reindeer at night, sit into a local tent with fire and eat a simple dinner soup and sausage. Then they will drive you around the frozen lake hunting for aurora. If the sky is clear and there is aurora the setting is very beautiful. Also the experience itself it's suggestive. Maybe a little overpriced but overally a good experience.”

Het noorderlicht hebben we maar heel lichtjes gezien want het was een bewolkte dag. Ter compensatie hebben we wel een gat gemaakt in het ijs. Het eten was super lekker van smaak. Zeer tof als je van kampvuur houd en van avontuur. Aanrader!”
