Northern Lights Hunt by Reindeer Sleigh from Saariselkä

Discover the stunning snow-covered forests of Finnish Lapland on a once-in-a-lifetime Northern Lights hunt by reindeer sleigh from Saariselkä! Reindeer sleigh driving is a tradition that comes from the Sámi people, who are indigenous to the Lapland regions of Norway, Sweden, and Finland. Reindeer were used for transportation through the difficult and snowy terrains above the Arctic Circle, and today they are an excellent way to take a stroll through the beautiful forests of the region and even spot the Northern Lights.

On the day of your Northern Lights hunt by reindeer sleigh from Saariselkä, you'll have the option to be picked up around the village or arrive by yourself at the meeting point in the Lapponia Tours headquarters. There, you'll meet your expert instructor, who will introduce themselves and give you a few safety recommendations to have a great time during your reindeer tour. They'll also distribute the thermal clothing you'll use throughout the experience to keep warm in the Arctic temperatures around Saariselkä.

Once you're all geared up, it's time to go! You'll spend around 2 hours riding at a very comfortable pace in your reindeer sleigh, keeping your eyes trained in the sky to see if you can find the incredible Aurora Borealis or observe the beautiful stars that populate this pollution-free sky. Midway through the excursion, you'll stop, feed the reindeer, and have a warm drink by a fire that your instructor will build for you, before returning to the meeting point in Saariselkä for the end of the experience.

Keep in mind that the Northern Lights are a natural and completely unpredictable phenomenon, which means that your instructor can't promise that you'll see them during the excursion; however, they'll try their best to get you to see them. Additionally, you should remember to bring warm winter clothing, including thermal under layers and wind and waterproof outerwear, as well as a hat, scarf, gloves, and anything else you might need (medicine, snacks, etc.) to spend an amazing 3 hours on a Northern Lights hunt by reindeer sleigh from Saariselkä!
