Northern lights safari by snowmobile

Experience the captivating beauty of the Northern Lights on a snowmobile tour in the Lappish wilderness. Ride through the arctic night as our guide leads you on a unique adventure, where you'll take a break to witness the auroras while warming up with hot drinks and cookies by an open fire. Venture deep into the unlit natural surroundings, where the only light comes from the moon, stars, and snowmobile headlights, and immerse yourself in the stunning winter landscape of forests and lakes. With a bit of luck, you'll witness the Northern Lights dancing in the clear night sky for a truly unforgettable experience.

This excursion suits best for adults. A valid driving license is required to drive a snowmobile, but also children can join the safari seated on a sledge. Note the late time of the excursion!
