Suggestive Experience - Small group. They will pick you up from your hotel, then give you thermal clothes, then drive you on a snowmobile sleigh. You can feed reindeer at night, sit into a local tent with fire and eat a simple dinner soup and sausage. Then they will drive you around the frozen lake hunting for aurora. If the sky is clear and there is aurora the setting is very beautiful. Also the experience itself it's suggestive. Maybe a little overpriced but overally a good experience.

Wow! - This was such an awesome experience!!! Our guide was so great. We even stopped on the side of the road to see the northern lights shortly after our pick-up. Lake Inari and seeing the northern lights was an unreal experience. It was amazing! The dinner afterwards was great and was an authentic experience. I would highly recommend!! Thank you Maxim!

It was a great experience... - It was a great experience to walk over the frozen lake. The tour was well-planned and well equipped. Our guide Laura was outstanding. She made the trip really enjoyable and comfortable. The dinner was great too. We got to see and feed the reindeers. Laura also let us do a fun activity which is drilling the frozen lake which we enjoyed a lot.

Tracking the Northern Lights - Super organized tour, very friendly guide and the group size of 7 people was perfect. Despite the poor view of the Northern Lights under a full moon, the guide encouraged us to look again after dinner. The food was very delicious. In any case, everything worked out and we saw the aurora borealis at a late hour. Thank you very much for the great trip. It remains unforgotten.

Awesome experience - Oh!! what a tour!! Splendid experience. Nice couple who manage the trip. Such nice people who made sure we were well clothed and remain warm considering that it was colder during the nights. It was cloudy as we started the tour, however in half an hour clouds started clearing. The guide was sure we would spot northern lights considering it was clear sky. And then the moment appeared out of nowhere. 15 mins of gift for us.. Northern lights appeared in the sky like a rainbow.. we were right at the Inari Lake. Beautiful experience indeed. Apart from the above, the tour had in fact other beautiful experiences, couple had ensured everyone had sumptuous meal at their Tapae. They had prepared a very tasty veg meal for us specially and baked a cake. It tasted out of the world. They had cute 2 reindeers who also posed for pics.. Overall a must experience tour. And one important thing, never go for only Northern lights as an aim, it would be disappointing if not visible. Many other things to enjoy on the trip

Very nice tour - Everything was taken care of. The pick-up, warm clothes, food, return to hotels. We did manage to see lots of Aurora, and the giides even changed the timing plan as we noticed Aurora appearing, so they stopped and let us enjoy the Northern light and take photos so that we don't miss even a second of it. When they were gone, the guides took us to the tent where there was fire, warm food and drinks and cute raindeers. Thanks for the experience! We highly recommend the tour. From my personal experience I recommend to plan at least for 3 nights to hunt aurora, so that in case of snow or clouds you still get 1-2 nights to re-schedule or get an extra tour.
