2.Northern Lights Hunt Snowmobile Safari

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 195 reviews · 5 hours · from $199

Ride a snowmobile through dark Lapland forests, warm up by a fire, and hunt for Northern Lights on this five-hour Inari safari.

“It could have not been more perfect! I was hesitant to book at first because our Airbnb is at an inconvenient location, but when I booked the tour I asked if they could pick us up at our place they were able to do so. David was our wonderful guide! And he could not have been nicer and more accommodating to us and our group. On the way to pickup some more of our group, David stopped on the side of the road so we could see the lights. It was amazing and so unexpected! It was also fortunate because during our snowmobile trip we actually couldn’t see any lights…”

3.Auroras Northern Lights in Saariselka

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 176 reviews · 5 hours · from $175

Review of Saariselka northern lights tour with dark-sky viewing, barbecue, warm hut, photography help, and a five-hour aurora hunt.

“Song was a great guide. She picked from our Chalet & dropped back. She drew us few kilometers from city for pitch dark area where she showed us the Northern Lights. We were lucky to spot with just 5% chance to see as per the App. The BBQ area & the viewing spot were combined, hence did not feel much cold. Overall she was kind & good guide. Unfortunately as per the tour some pictures should have taken but the guide did not. It’s a value for money trip & hence I recommend it.”

5.Saariselkä: Aurora Photo Tour by Car with Transfer & Drinks

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

Review of Saariselkä’s 3-hour aurora photo tour, with hotel transfers, hot drinks, photos, practical advice, price value, and honest drawbacks.

“La guida molto gentile, però credo che bisognerebbe annullare l’attività se si sa (palesemente) che l’aurora non si potrà vedere. Non solo l’aurora aveva bassa percentuale, ma davano anche 100% copertura nuvolosa sia dove eravamo che nelle zone intorno. Anche la guida ce lo ha detto in macchina, quindi mi chiedo perché fare questo cinema se tanto si sa che non si potrà vedere. Si fa più bella figura a ridare indietro i soldi se non ci sono condizioni metereologiche adatte. Questa l’unica nota a sfavore, ci siamo sentiti un po’ presi in giro sinceramente.”
