Northern lights hunt by snowmobile in Saariselka
Do this because
- Drive a snowmobile through a snowy forest
- Enjoy an outdoor campfire BBQ in a tepee hut
- Admire the magical northern lights
What to expect
Combine two must-do experiences in one tour. Drive a snowmobile around the wildlands of Finland and see the northern lights dance in the sky.
Meet your guides, listen to a safety briefing, and head into the wild. You will drive through the darkness following your guides over the snowy roads towards a traditional tepee hut. Enjoy some tasty snacks like grilled sausages, meat sticks, chicken nuggets, and cheese with bread and some warm drinks like coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and berry juice concentrate prepared on a campfire and look up to the sky. Your guide will share stories about the northern lights while you keep your eyes open to spot them.
Besides the aurora borealis, you can see thousands of other stars lightning up the arctic sky. A magical experience. After looking at the northern lights for a while, you will drive your snowmobile back to the starting point.
