Fun cold adventure - This was a very nice experience. We didn’t get to see the northern lights, but the time we spend hunting was so much fun driving the snowmobiles! It was very cold but the overalls provided kept us as warm as possible. We had some tea and cookies as well. Definitely recommend it if you’re looking for some adrenaline and with some luck can also get to see the northern lights.

Little adventure - Great experience! Our guide explained everything clearly. Unfortunately it was very cloudy, so no chance of seeing the Northern Lights, but of course you can't predict that. All in all a good tour

Fun experience - We did not quite see the aurora but driving the snowmobile in quiet and dark was quite an experience. Given aurora is not guaranteed, it was nice to have something else to experience.

Nice ride but maybe not the best option to see aurora - Unfortunately we couldn't see any northern light due to bad weather conditions. Our guide, Sami, offered us the possibility to avoid the campfire to have more time to spend going around trying to catch aurora and this was appreciated. Maybe if you want to maximise the possibility to see aurora you have to choose a several hours tour by car to be able to move to farer spots. I'm this case with snow mobile we had pre-fixed spots and starting point was near Santa Claus village (and so airport) which causes quite lot of light pollution.

Snow mobile tour - The experience of riding the snow mobiles makes the adventure worth at least an average rating. Was a bit disappointed with non information about the possible northern lights sighting. Only found at stop that that they hadn’t been seen for a week
