Ivalo: Lake Inari Northern Lights Tour w/ Reindeer & Dinner

1.Lake Inari Northern Lights Tour w/ Reindeer & Dinner

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 80 reviews · 4 hours · from $194Our pick

Travel from Ivalo to Koppelo with a local guide, then ride a reindeer-hide-covered sleigh across frozen Lake Inari. Hosts Tina and Tapio welcome you to their island cottage and teepees for a fire-cooked dinner, hot drinks, and time with friendly reindeer. Northern Lights sightings are possible, never promised.

“Zonder noorderlicht (wat natuurlijk nooit te garanderen is) is deze tocht wat magertjes. Het is vooral een (koude) tocht over het meer in een slee achter een sneeuwscooter gevolgd door een tussenstop in een tipi tent met vuur waarop worstje/soep/brood worden klaargemaakt en waar je de gelegenheid krijgt 2 rendieren te voeren. Daarna nog paar minuten terug met de slee naar de auto die ons terugbracht naar de beginlocatie waar we onze dikke geleende pakken konden inleveren en daarna teruggebracht werden naar ons hotel. Als totaalpakket niet slecht als aanbod, maar in de praktijk zonder noorderlicht heeft het weinig om het lijf.”

Inari/Ivalo: Aurora Hunting Tour by Car with Warm Drinks

2.Inari/Ivalo: Aurora Hunting Tour by Car with Warm Drinks

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 48 reviews · 4 hours · from $155Best value

Spend four hours chasing clear skies around Ivalo with local guides such as Samuel, Juha, or Jukkis. Your small group travels by car to promising aurora spots, with route changes based on cloud cover and forecasts. Warm drinks, a light snack, and a short photography lesson are included. The lights are never guaranteed, but the search is active and flexible.

“Thanks to our guides Jukkis and Samuel, we had an awesome night in Finnish Lapland. Although weather forecast was 99% cloudy, they drove us far North and West of Ivalo, making more than 10-times of test stops to check the Aurora visibility, leading us to about five prime viewing spots. Luck was possible thanks to these caring experts! Thanks for the unforgettable night outing!”
