Activity description

Experience the magic of the Northern Lights and meet adorable reindeer on this all-inclusive excursion from Ivalo! Welcoming adventurers ages 6 and up.

Located in Northern Finland, Ivalo is situated within the Arctic Circle in Finnish Lapland. It is known for its stunning wilderness and variety of outdoor winter activities. In addition, Ivalo is one of the best places in the world to take in the incredible natural phenomenon that is the Northern Lights. What better way to immerse yourself in the Arctic winter wonderland than on a unique excursion with an experienced guide?

Your adventure begins after being picked up at one of the listed meeting points in Ivalo (please specify when booking). After a scenic transfer, you'll arrive at the base camp. You and your group (a maximum of 8 participants) will put on your winter gear, which includes thermal overalls, boots, and a balaclava. Then, after a safety and itinerary briefing from your knowledgeable guide, the fun starts! 

You'll be seated on a sled covered by reindeer hides and will be pulled by the guide's snowmobile across the frozen Lake Inari. If luck is on your side, you'll be graced by the dancing colours of the Northern Lights. In the middle of the lake, you'll stop for a break to enjoy the silence and majesty of the Arctic. Next, your journey continues to Aurora Island where a traditional wooden cottage and teepee await you. There, you'll be treated to a delicious dinner around a roaring campfire with hot drinks. (Vegetarian options are available, please specify when booking.) You'll return to the original departure point in Ivalo after an enchanting evening in Finnish Lapland.

It was a truly unique experience. Although the Aurora was less visible, we still saw it. And that is essential.
