Northern Lights Tour from Inari with Warm Drinks & BBQ

About the Activity

What to Expect

Embark on an unforgettable Northern Lights adventure from Inari, where you’ll enjoy a magical evening under the arctic sky with warm drinks, a cozy barbecue, and the chance to witness one of nature’s most awe-inspiring spectacles. As you travel away from the village, the bus provides a comfortable and warm ride, complete with reclining seats and large windows for scenic views. En route, your knowledgeable guides will share captivating stories about the Northern Lights, explaining their scientific origins and the rich mythology that surrounds them.

Upon arriving at a remote viewing site, far from any village lights or hotels, you'll be greeted by a microclimate that often provides clear skies, enhancing your chances of spotting the elusive auroras. At this secluded location, you'll have the unique opportunity to experience authentic Lappish shamanism with a fun fortune-telling session led by the Aurora guides. As the night unfolds, enjoy expert tips on capturing stunning photos of the auroras, ensuring that you take home not just memories but beautiful visual souvenirs as well.

The highlight of your stay will be relaxing in a warm tepee, savoring a barbecue carefully designed to accommodate all tastes and diets. This longer tour duration maximizes your chances of seeing the lights during peak times, such as around midnight, and if the auroras appear before reaching the site, the bus stops to follow them, adding an extra layer of adventure. This tour is ideal for nature enthusiasts and those eager to explore the mystical allure of the Finnish Lapland.
