Hunting the Northern Lights in Lapland is an unforgettable experience — and with Arctic GM, it’s approached as a structured Aurora hunt guided by real-time conditions. Operated by The Original Aurora Hunters®, Arctic GM is a family-run company with roots in Lapland dating back to the 1600s, bringing generations of local knowledge into every tour. The evening begins at a central meeting point in Rovaniemi. Travel by comfortable coach as guides continuously adjust the route based on weather and Aurora forecasts, with the possibility of driving up to 2 hours from the city, including toward the Swedish border when conditions require. Stops are made in carefully selected locations away from light pollution. When the sky clears, step into the Arctic landscape while guides assist with photos under the Northern Lights. Thermal overalls, hot drinks, and light snacks are included. The experience lasts approximately 4–6 hours.

Frozen Waterfall Hike

The frozen waterfall tour was great from start to finish. We were picked up exactly on time from our resort and everything went smoothly from there. Our guide Vanessa was fantastic and we had a lot of fun. The BBQ lunch was a fun experience as well. Definitely recommend.

Had such a fun day at the Frozen Waterfalls of Korouoma Canyon! ❄️ Our guide Sarah was awesome—super organized, made sure we were all geared up for the cold, and kept things safe while still relaxed. The walk was beautiful, with plenty of stops for photos (she took some amazing shots too!). Ended the trip with a cozy BBQ—sausages and marshmallows by the fire hit the spot. Definitely a highlight of Finland.

MeghDeepak_B, Mar 2026

Tiring day but worth the effort

Was sceptical about booking this tour as it's a 50-50 chance but saw the reviews and went ahead with it anyways. I badly wanted to see the Northern Lights and of course capture a photo in person. Glad it all came true. Paul and SK were amazing throughout the tour and the bus driver too. Took all the effort to take us to Sweden as Finland was cloudy and we saw the Northern Lights exactly as advertised. Could only get the green aura but then can't ask for more after 4 hours of travel and hunting. Gave us hot coffee in the office initially and then took the perfect pictures for our social medias. Paul and SK were very enthusiastic and took multiple photos of everyone to feel better. It was the perfect tour and happy it all came down so well. Would recommend you all to book the tour as even though it says it's chancy, rest assured, it's a 90% chance of being successful as the tour group goes all in and takes every effort to make it come true. Lapland Roveniami overall has been amazing and very glad to visit the North Pole at least once in my lifetime.

Family Snowmobile Safari in Rovaniemi in small group

Renee_c, Feb 2026

Best day ever

Our snowmobile experience today was amazing, one of the best things I've ever done in my life! Our guide Nacho was so passionate, professional and helpful. His instructions were clear and we felt confident once we started. Our seven year old son was transported in a heated pod by Nacho which was awesome for him. He got to stay toasty warm and still enjoy the same experience we did. I would highly recommend Snowride Lapland to anyone looking for an awesome day out.

Mariya_S, Feb 2026

Exceeded all expectations!!!

It was my boyfriends 30th so I wanted to book him some amazing experiences for his time in Lapland. We found Snowride Lapland for snow mobiling (something he’s always wanted to do). It’s safe to say we picked the right company. From the moment we got picked up from our hotel to the end, the whole team and service was amazing. Especially Nacho, our instructor, who gave us the most incredible tour through the woods and kept us entertained the whole time. If you’re looking for the perfect place for your snow mobiling trip in Lapland, honestly look no further!

We had our tour with Ali, who was exceptional. Ali, lived and breathed Aurora hunting, as he was determined to find an Aurora on an Aurora-less night. We found the Aurora 3.5hrs in, and then Ali was determined to get the big one. Ali even arranged to meet up with a bigger tour bus to provide bathroom facilities for my wife. We were both impressed with Ali’s dedication and service. Thank you for making it quite the experience, Ali.

Rovaniemi: Guaranteed Northern Lights - Small Group & Photography

MARIALENA_M, Jan 2026

A magnificent experience

One the best activities of our trip! We initially went to a beautiful place where the sky, the trees and the snow were creating a magical scenery. After a while, we saw the lights. That made the scenery even more magical! After that, we went to a different place where we saw the phenomenon in its greatness. The lights were upon our heads, extremely bright and dancing! Many thanks to our great guide, Roman! He really knew where and when to go and we think we saw what we saw because of his experience. He also explained us everything about the northern lights and last but not least he took amazing photos of us under the lights to remember our experience.

Lapland Reindeer and Husky Safari from Rovaniemi

L_B, Jan 2026

Very good, exactly as promised

This is a very efficient way to do both activities. Our tour guide was superb, communicative, and super helpful throughout. In retrospect I would have just done the reindeer farm; the husky village is OK, but the trip itself isn't all that great and it's much less informative and enjoyable than the reindeer ride and farm visit.

A wonderful day

We had a wonderful experience today at the reindeer farm. Our guide and photographer were great and the sleigh ride was magical. It was great to hearing information about the reindeers and getting to warm up after the ride with hot chocolate and a snack. Our kids loved every minute and would definitely recommend.

We had a great day at the zoo seeing animals in their natural habitat. Observing the polar beers and spotting the artic fox was the height of our visit. However, we appeared to have conflicting meeting points from different sources, therefore finding our guide was a nightmare. Give yourself extra time to get to meeting point and possibly confirm it prior to going.

Aurora Arctic Ice Floating in Rovaniemi, Small-group

Jose_R, Dec 2025

Auroras and Wet Suits

Spent a close to a week in lapland, was lucky enough to have seen the auroras already. Was told this was not a good day to see again, guess what ? Once arrive to location auroras were waiting on us for the second day in a row. Our guide was very passionate about nature and provided a wealth of knowledge about the area. Once the auroras disappeared in about 20 minutes we proceeded to a wam cabin in which we were introduced to our survivals wet suits. Instructions were given and proceeded to get in to a froze lake. Ice had to be broken apart so that we could get in.... yes it was that cold. My teenager son was the first one in and the last one out, what and amazing experience. Once in a lifetime. Just book it!

Ursula_R, Nov 2025

Fantastic experience! Definitely recommend!

A fantastic experience! Matyas was on time to collect us from our accommodation in excellent transportation. We were greeted with a chocolate which was nice. Was a short journey to Santa Claus village from where we were staying. We got to meet Santa and purchased photos and videos aswell as bits in the gift shop. We wrote a letter to Santa and posted it and sent a gift card home! We loved meeting the husky’s and the husky ride was amazing! Exhilarating! The reindeer ride was amazing too but much more peaceful and chilled! Really appreciated Matyus he was friendly thoughtful and knowledgeable and we got everything we wanted to done on this trip! Recommend!!!
