What to expect
If you are looking for an out of the ordinary and adrenaline-filled experience in the Finnish Lapland, then this tour is for you! Starting from Saariselkä, you will be heading out on a snowmobile into the arctic wilderness in search for the magical Northern Lights. Your guide does all the necessary research and studies the forecast prior to the tour to ensure you ride towards a spot with the highest chance of seeing the lights.
At the start of this experience your guide will explain everything you need to know about driving a snowmobile and will go through safety instructions. The driving speed and distance is adjusted according to whole group's driving skills and track conditions. The snowmobile can be shared between two people, and while one is driving the other sits behind the driver and enjoys the ride. The driver can be swapped half way through the tour.
The mysterious auroras that blaze across the night sky are associated with many exciting popular beliefs about the magical forces, both good and bad. There is certainly a scientific explanation as well and your guide will tell you all about it throughout the tour. You are welcome to bring your own camera and tripod so you can take memorable pictures.
Important to know
- Minimum age of participants: 4 years
- Children can share the snowmobile with an adult if they are at least 140cm tall, otherwise they will sit in a sledge pulled by the guide's snowmobile
- The Northern Lights is a natural phenomenon, as such it is not possible to predict their appearance, activity or color, but your guide will do their best to make sure you enjoy the safari
