Hunt Finland’s Northern Lights from Saariselkä by minivan, with expert guides, warm drinks, snacks, and professional Aurora photography.

“Something like this, where it’s luck dependant, will obviously heavily affect how you rate this your. Luckily for my booking (which I booked 2hrs before start time) we saw northern lights at all of our stops. They were absolutely beautiful, the tour was well organised - we have a lovely hot juice (maybe lingonberry?) and the frozen lake was 100% the best part. It was -20C so I cannot stress how important it is to wrap up warm, especially hands and feet! We spent quite a while at each spot to allow us to get lots of content! Our guide was brilliant and took loads of photos of each of…”

Spend five hours chasing the Northern Lights near Saariselkä, with dark-sky stops, a Lappish barbecue, warm shelter, guides, and photos.

“Our guide was amazing! He picked us up at our hotel and took us out into the woods where he had a bit with a fire going so we could stay warm while waiting. We had a barbecue with sausage and chicken and corn with bread. He also had several choices of yummy warm drinks. He was very informative. The night was overcast and while we waited he kept the conversation going. We weren’t successful seeing the lights at the hut and he had us drive around looking for them. We finally found them and he took photos of us in front of the lights. He tried soooo hard to…”

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 116 reviews · 3 hours · from $135

Chase Finland’s northern lights from Saariselkä by car, with hotel transfers, warm drinks, gingerbread, photography tips, and tour photos.

“Unfortunately, the tour was disappointing. We did see the aurora; however, the driver didn’t show much enthusiasm, only driving for a while and stopping in a lay-by next to the road. There was some aurora activity, but the high tension cables above spoiled the occasion (as they would interfere with the view and -of course- with the pictures). The driver commented that “we don’t need to go elsewhere: we’ll see the same lights” (i’m paraphrasing, but that was the message). We knew that, but a search for a picturesque scenario (eg, the frozen lake Ukonjarvi ) would have made for a much better experience than stopping at the side of…”

6.Lake Inari Northern Lights Tour w/ Reindeer & Dinner

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 80 reviews · 4 hours · from $194

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.”
