Drive Lynx snowmobiles through Saariselka snowfields, then warm up with forest BBQ and drinks on a 3-hour guided safari.

“We had an amazing time! As the only two people on the tour, we enjoyed a private experience at a lower cost. We could really rev the engine and drive as fast as we pleased most of the time which made it even more enjoyable. Plus, the road was freshly flattened and we were the first to drive on it – a bonus! We had some extra time thanks to our speedy driving and we also managed to drive up the mountain. The sun was rising and the views were breathtaking. Overall, I highly recommend this tour!”

★★★★★★★★★★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…”

15.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.”
