Northern Lights Hunt by Snowmobile from Rovaniemi

Snowmobile through the dark winter landscapes and chase the Aurora Borealis in the Finnish Lapland outside Rovaniemi. Welcoming adventurers of all ages on this family-friendly excursion!

Driving through the dark and snowy backcountry is already an amazing experience in itself, but when the sky is clear, it can be even more bewildering with the stellar spectacles above. Witnessing the bright, star-studded Arctic sky, its glowing moon, or even the mystical Northern Lights from the pitch-black wilderness of Finnish Lapland is truly an unbeatable sight. 

This tour takes place from Rovaniemi in Finnish Lapland. As well as being known for its stunning landscapes and diverse nature, Rovaniemi is also one of the best places in the world for witnessing the Northern Lights! Its proximity to the Arctic Circle allows for clear, dark skies during the winter months.

One of the best times to spot the Auroras is said to be in the evening before midnight, so this safari takes place after dark. After meeting your experienced guide in Rovaniemi, they will provide you with thermal overalls, a balaclava, a pair of boots and some gloves. After a safety briefing on how to drive the snowmobile, you will then be off, driving through the dark winter night.

The snowmobiles are locally produced BRP Lynx Rave, Xtrim, and Boondocker models. These models are not only extremely comfortable to drive but are gentle to the environment as they are practically smoke and smell-free. Children will be seated in a comfy sled pulled by the guide, so they are safe and cosy throughout the excursion. You have the option to drive a twin snowmobile, with one driver and one passenger and the opportunity to switch midway, or as a solo driver. 

You will set off into the Finnish wilderness beneath the dark, starry sky. Hunting for the Aurora is always an exciting excursion, regardless of the outcome. If you are lucky, you will get to see the Northern Lights dancing in the sky above you. The mesmerising dance of the Aurora Borealis is a once-in-a-lifetime sight to behold! After learning all of the snowmobile techniques, you will be transported back to Rovaniemi.
