Snowmobile Safari to Search for Northern Lights

2 hours

Easy

Given extra light by the white snow reflection or the stars and the moon, we follow the snowmobile trails away from city lights and search for a spot to admire the evening sky and expect the magic of the northern lights..

Experience the magic of arctic nature during the night time, following the trails far from the city lights with just the snowmobiles headlights and moon illuminating the way ahead!

With favorable weather conditions and a pinch of luck, you may even get to witness this magical phenomenon with your own eyes.

Duration of the program is 2 hours, including preparations. The riding time on snowmobiles is approximately 1 hour 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 an extra charge. 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 tour. The tour date can be moved free of charge once (depending on availability, excl. group reservations), please contact info@wildnordic.fi by 16.00 on the original date.
