“The Aurora hunting tour was a great experience, although we only got a slight glimpse of the Aurora due to heavy cloud cover Francine ensured everyone was comfortable and warm with great conversation as well. The snacks was a good surprise as this wasn't clear in the tour description. Overall experience and atmosphere was great. Definitely recommend going on this tour.”

“Marko our guide was very friendly. He was very good at keeping us safe and informed. We got fully kitted out so we stayed safe and warm. Marko was always checking back to see how we were doing. He let us have plenty opportunities to swap and take pictures. The track we took was very fun and interesting with hills bridges and turns. We even saw reindeer! The bbq at campsite was great too we had sausages and a hot drink and a sweet sugar bread. Again he was very patient with us and we didnt feel rushed at all. We went in the morning and saw a beautiful sunrise.…”

“The activity was amazing from start to finish, very well organised and professional. Our guide, Ansee was exceptional, he went above and beyond. He explained how the evening would work, was very helpful and gave us lots of information about Finnish life. The reindeer were very well looked after and each had their own character. The evening was one we will never forget and we were extremely lucky to also see a fantastic display of the northern lights!!!”

See Saariselkä’s northern lights by car, with hotel transfers, hot drinks, gingerbread, warm clothes, and tour photos included.
“Unfortunately, the tour was disappointing. We did see the aurora; however, the driver didn’t show much enthusiasm, only driving for a while and stopping in a lay-by next to the road. There was some aurora activity, but the high tension cables above spoiled the occasion (as they would interfere with the view and -of course- with the pictures). The driver commented that “we don’t need to go elsewhere: we’ll see the same lights” (i’m paraphrasing, but that was the message). We knew that, but a search for a picturesque scenario (eg, the frozen lake Ukonjarvi ) would have made for a much better experience than stopping at the side of…”
Ride calm Finnish horses through Saariselkä’s snowy forest, with expert guidance, a small group, hot drinks, and no riding experience needed.

Review of Saariselkä snowshoeing in Urho Kekkonen National Park, with route details, guide tips, pricing, fitness advice, and honest value notes.
“This walk was really enjoyable. The activity is not as exciting as the ones I have already tried (with snowmobiles), but it is very nice. I loved to see the park with all the trees covered in snow. It looks like a winter wonderland! I gave 4 stars and not 5 just because I think the price is a bit too high for what we did. It was just a walk of 1 hour and 30 minutes with snowshoes. Anyway, we liked the activity and would recommend it.”

“It will be perfect if we can see the aurora. Despite that, the experience is unforgettable. Riding a snowmobile on the lake, drinking reindeer soup around a campfire, it is just unlucky that we cannot see the northern lights.”
Pick a fell, a dog team or a hole in the ice.
