Rovaniemi: Aurora Borealis Snowmobile Safari with Campfire

1.Aurora Borealis Snowmobile Safari with Campfire

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 1,108 reviews · 4 hours · from $163Our pick

Review of Rovaniemi’s four-hour Northern Lights snowmobile safari, with campfire snacks, Arctic scenery, practical tips, and honest drawbacks.

“Nice tour, nice guides and wonderful landscape. We could see the Northern Lights and the guides helped us taking pictures and changing settings of our phones so we could take pictures too. We drove snowmobiles for more than 2 hours, which was a bit too much for us, because we had never done that before and cold and inexperience didn't help us. But the overall was a really cool safari. Highly reccommended!”

“We had a nice trip, a little waiting around in the beginning however once we were off we sped through the countryside enjoying the beautiful scenery, nice young tour guides not a lot of interaction from them however that suited us , sadly we didn’t see the lights which couldn’t be helped, very bumpy mobile on the way out changed on the way back and had a smoother ride, children given plenty of fur and were happy. Got back around midnight but the office were happy to call us a taxi and let us wait in the warm.”

“We went to a great spot to see the lights and had a fun time riding the snowmobile. We were actually out for closer to 6 hours in total and were kindly dropped back to our accommodation after. Would have appreciated some more explanations of what to expect from the guide. We never found out his name and weren't informed we would be in the van for 45-60 minutes or so before we got to the spot we would ride the snowmobiles. Luckily we took our own gloves and layers to put on dor the ride and after or we would have been very cold. The stop off in the…”

Review of Rovaniemi’s small-group snowmobile and Northern Lights tour, with new 2025 machines, barbecue, safety tips, and booking advice.

“This snowmobile tour was epic. They had snowsuits and helmets ready after they picked you up from your vacation rental (not just the hotels!). Then we went out of the city center to a snow covered forest. Siiri was a fantastic guide and went out of her way to make sure everyone was comfortable and safe. We had a BBQ and very, very nice snowmobiles to ride on. Loved it! My kids were tall enough to ride as passengers instead of on the sled, so that made it even better!”
