What to Expect
Embark on an unforgettable nighttime snowmobile adventure into the silent Arctic wilderness in search of the Northern Lights. You’ll ride through dark, snow-covered landscapes to an open view of the sky, a great setting for spotting the Aurora Borealis.
Along the way, you’ll experience the thrill of snowmobiling beneath a star-filled sky. At our destination, we’ll light a fire and take time to watch the sky, enjoy the atmosphere, and listen to your guide’s insights about the Northern Lights and the surrounding Arctic nature.

Our guide, Robert, was incredible. He let us drive the snowmobile for a long time. He allowed us to have fun without too many restrictions, but always in safety. We had dinner in front of a fire, cooking chicken and sausage in abundance. He offered us all the hot tea we wanted. We had a great time with him. Very kind, friendly, and very professional. If you're in the area, ask for him. Recommended.

The tour was really a great experience. The guide was friendly and patient. There were also 1-2 sections on the route where you could go full throttle. Our snowmobile drove at a maximum of 40 km/h, so it was throttled because the vehicles can actually do well over 150 km/h. Nevertheless, the speed felt sufficient. Driving through the snowy landscape at night is indescribable.
Unfortunately the sky was overcast so we didn't see the Northern Lights. The break in the tepee with a campfire with hot drinks and food on the way back was very cozy. Our request for vegan food was taken into account.
All in all, it was a very nice experience and worth the money.

Great tour with Fabien our guide. He drives us out of Rovaniemi to see auroras, 45 minutes away The kota was magic and the drive there in Snowmobile was just crazy! We booked the normal tour but we were happy to have a private tour as we were only the 2 of us and the guide.
