Ride a husky sled through Lapland, then search for Northern Lights near Rovaniemi with warm clothes, guides, and blueberry juice.

“I absolutely loved this activity.The Huskies were lovely,and the ride was amazing !!!on a frozen lake.The lady driving the sleigh was great,and said we could ask questions. I didn’t go into the woods,after,as the bridge was too slippy,so a nice llady said I could wait in one of the vans. I jumped out when the others returned,as knew it wasn’t ours. Pietro was fabulous!!,Friendly, and knowledgeable and fun,putting music on as we were in the van. I wouldn’t have changed much,apart from more grit in icy parts,and cleared a bit,where there’s loads of footfall. We didn’t get to see the Northern lights!!!,but it was Amazing being led by the huskies!!.…”

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

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

Ride a snowmobile sleigh across frozen Lake Inari, feed reindeer, and enjoy a fireside Lappish dinner under northern skies.

“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.”

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 3 reviews · 4 hours · from $140

Review of Lapland’s four-hour Northern Lights sleigh ride, with reindeer pelts, a forest campfire, snacks, costs, and practical tips.

“It was okay , tour guide didn’t seem to know what we had booked and a lot of confusion on their part . The sleigh was not heated as stated , it was infact covered in ice , then frozen reindeer throws put on the seats and we were covered with a frozen blanket . Sleigh ride was nice although not very long , I feel we spent far too long just sat in a hut waiting for them to make a fire and cook sausages , I feel some of that time would have been better spent outside looking for northern lights .”
