Northern Lights hunting by snowmobile in Rovaniemi (3 hours)

3 hours

Moderate

Search for the spectacular Northern Lights in the nighttime skies over the surrounding Rovaniemi area on a 3-hour snowmobile safari.

This evening departure of a snowmobile safari will be a special experience to discover the magic of snowy forests in the night. Given extra light by the white snow reflection or the stars and the moon, we follow the snowmobile trails away from city lights and look for the spot to admire the sky. The guide will light up a bonfire and we will enjoy a picnic while waiting for the northern lights to appear. Everyone can grill traditional Finnish “makkara” sausages on the fire and enjoy Lappish berry juice to keep you warm. For taking proper photos in darkness, you can bring along a tripod for your camera.

Duration of the program is 3 hours, including preparations. 

The riding time on snowmobiles is approximately 1 hour and 30 - 40 minutes. 

The average speed during our short tours is limited due to the safety and traffic regulations. Two adults ride on one snowmobile, single riding supplement for extra charge. The tour is suitable for families with children; children are traveling in the sleigh pulled by the guide’s snowmobile. We recommend having an early dinner in the hotel before the departure. 

Please note: Northern lights are a natural occurrence and we are unable to guarantee activity, vibrancy or colour on the evening of the safari.

What's included?
    • Return transfers from Rovaniemi city center hotels
    • Use of thermal clothing during the safari (thermal overall, boots, gloves, woolen socks, a scarf and helmets)
    • Short stops throughout the tour to take photos of the beautiful scenery
    • A longer break with grilled sausages on open fire and stories about the northern lights
