“We had the most amazing experience and got to see the Aurora Borealis vividly in both spots! Our tour guide Daria was great! She took pictures of everyone with her iPhone and sent them to people individually! She was also very knowledgeable and friendly. A lovely BBQ wity sausages, pastries, cookies and marshmallows were also served around a campfire. I highly recommend this experience!”

Twilight snowmobile safari in Levi, Finland, with English guides, winter gear, campfire snacks, and a shot at the Northern Lights.
“Speeding across a frozen lake under the moonlight. A truly unique activity if you’re not used to life in the snow. Our guide Lida was super nice. While we were sitting around the campfire in the lavvu/ teepee, she told us about the traditional Sami Lapland culture. Even though it was a bit cloudy, we still got a glimpse of the northern lights. A bit of a warning. If you haven’t driven a snowmobile before, it’s a bit more physically demanding than we expected.”
Evening snowmobile safari from Saariselkä with winter gear, fire picnic, and aurora hopes, plus van transfers and English guidance.
“The snowmobiles were super fun and easy to drive with great handbar heating. We got warm polar jumpsuits and gloves and tasty food by the fire in the kotta. The views were amazing, real arctic experience!”
3-hour Rovaniemi night snowmobile tour with a driving lesson, hot snacks by a campfire, and Northern Lights chances in Lapland.

Late night Finnhorse ride through Lapland forest, then warm juice and campfire snacks in Rovaniemi, with wildlife sightings possible.
“My wife in particular was very excited about this experience as she has ridden horses at home for years. Unfortunately it was quite short and in the pitch black which meant we could not take in the beauty of the raw nature of Lapland. Ela was great and hence why I have rated higher than I was initially planning on. Afterwards, we sat around a fire place and she shared stories of her Finnish roots which was probably the highlight of this experience! We were very lucky to be treated to vegetarian sausages which we cooked in the fire whilst sharing our stories!”
