“This was a well-organised and straightforward northern lights chase. The communication was clear from pickup until the end of the trip, which made everything very smooth and comfortable. I’m so happy that I got to witness the northern lights with my naked eyes for the second time. Our guide genuinely put in great effort to find the best conditions for us to see the aurora, and I truly appreciate his dedication.”

Review of Rovaniemi’s Northern Lights tour, with unlimited mileage, winter gear, hotel pickup, small groups, guide quality, and honest value advice.

“An unforgettable experience and highly recommended. Our guide, Beata, was exceptional. Even with cloudy skies in Rovaniemi and very little hope of seeing the Aurora, she drove nearly 3 hours to a remote, quiet spot in Sweden and timed it perfectly. We arrived just as the Northern Lights appeared and watched them grow stronger over the next 45 magical minutes. Beata was incredibly patient, helping us capture multiple photos and ensuring everyone could fully enjoy the moment. Truly a 5-star experience and a memory I’ll cherish.”

Review of Rovaniemi’s small-group Northern Lights tour, with campfire cooking, up to three viewing spots, warm gear, and free photos.

“Emilie was a fantastic guide. The small group of seven (including Emilie) made the experience even more enjoyable. From the start, she was transparent and provided clear explanations. She also kept checking for the best locations to see the Aurora. Our first stop, about 20 minutes north, offered a faint but magical glimpse of the lights. Then, after checking for better conditions, Emilie drove us about 40 minutes south, where we were rewarded with an even more spectacular view. She captured beautiful photos of us, and the evening ended perfectly with a cozy campfire. Merci, Emilie!! ☺️”

Ride a snowmobile through Arctic forests, pause by a campfire, and hunt for Northern Lights on this four-hour Rovaniemi safari.

“Well planned activity with supply of waterproof overalls and shoes. Some waiting time outside until everyone is dressed properly and helmets given so it gets very cold. Nice atmosphere when stopping for snacks and drinks. We did not get to see the northern lights because of clouds and snow but we still very much enjoyed the activity. Snowmobiling is very fun if done according to instructions”

Review of Rovaniemi’s snowmobile, reindeer, and husky combo tour, with practical tips on timing, cold-weather gear, value, and family suitability.

“We loved the snow mobiles and it was nice to change drivers mid way round. It was also nice splitting into smaller groups so you don’t just follow in one big line directly behind the others as some are more cautious drivers. We loved having a bit of fun on them and being able to go faster at times. The children went behind the guide,Kevin Chow, but again he was great and they loved it! The reindeer ride was lovely and relaxing , being able to see the snowy scenery and take everything in. The husky ride was brilliant but in our opinion quite short. We were split into the…”

Meet Lapland reindeer, learn about herding, ride a 500-meter sleigh, and warm up with berry juice at a family farm near Rovaniemi.

“The host and guide at the farm were really nice. We fed the reindeers and it was a very relaxed environment. The ride was fun but pretty cold, put on warm clothes! We then enjoyed a warm drink and a cookie next to a bonfire to warm up again. Overall very nice experience. Much better than going to the Santa Claus village and seeing depressed reindeers. These reindeers are clearly cared for. Value for money is maybe not the highest, it’s quite expensive but I would definitely recommend to do it anyway.”

Review of Rovaniemi’s snowmobile, husky, and reindeer tour, with practical details on rides, costs, timing, safety, and value.

“Absolutely magical experience. The whole day from beginning to end (lasting 7 and a half hours) was brilliant. Well organised, educational and spectacular scenery. Our guide Ibor was amazing- so funny- lots of laughs- and the other guides on the trip, Diego, Marco and the young “son” who the other guides teased - (sorry I can’t remember his name) were also brilliant. The huskies were gorgeous- lots of time to fuse them after the sledging, the reindeers were lovely, and the snow mobiles trip was safe and exploring beautiful landscape was like nowhere on earth. Topped off with a visit to Santa Claus village and crossing the arctic circle. (Lovely…”
