Ride a snowmobile-pulled sleigh to Lake Inari, feed reindeer, and enjoy a fire-cooked Lappish dinner with a small local group.
“Zonder noorderlicht (wat natuurlijk nooit te garanderen is) is deze tocht wat magertjes. Het is vooral een (koude) tocht over het meer in een slee achter een sneeuwscooter gevolgd door een tussenstop in een tipi tent met vuur waarop worstje/soep/brood worden klaargemaakt en waar je de gelegenheid krijgt 2 rendieren te voeren. Daarna nog paar minuten terug met de slee naar de auto die ons terugbracht naar de beginlocatie waar we onze dikke geleende pakken konden inleveren en daarna teruggebracht werden naar ons hotel. Als totaalpakket niet slecht als aanbod, maar in de praktijk zonder noorderlicht heeft het weinig om het lijf.”

“The Northern Lights tour to Lake Inari from Ivalo with Viator was a fantastic experience! Although the weather didn’t cooperate, the guides went above and beyond to make the trip memorable by taking us to visit reindeer and enjoying a delicious dinner by the lake. Highly recommended for a well-organized and enjoyable adventure!”

Viene fornito un abbigliamento adeguato alle condizioni di freddo che si affrontano durante l'attivita.

Fish on frozen Lake Inari, ride a snowmobile sled, feed reindeer, and enjoy hot food by a fire on this Saariselkä day trip.
“Such a fun experience! Our guide, Miko, was amazing and so accommodating. It starts off by getting equipped with warm clothing and equipment, then getting driven to the lake which is like a 20 minute journey. Then you ride on the sleigh on the lake, such a cool yet cold experience (the wind) ! Then the fishing starts! He demonstrates how to make the hole and you take turns trying to make your fishing hole (he ends up making them when we’re all tired). Then he demonstrates how to fish and you spend 30 minutes trying to catch something - seems short but it’s a long time when it’s cold.…”
Explore Sámi culture, Arctic scenery, and Siida Museum on a six-hour small-group tour from Saariselkä with lunch included.
“Our guide, David, was excellent. Very friendly and informative. He suggested photo stops on the road to Inari which we wouldn't have known about. He also stopped of in Ivalo for souvenir shopping, and took an unscheduled diversion to the top of thecski slopes in Saariselka. The museum is interesting, but compact. The Sami village is a collection of huts and dwellings, but there are no Sami people there to interact with or meet. In my opinion, the description on the Viator website is a little misleading in this respect. You could easily get a bus to Inari and visit the museum for much much less.”
