1What the operator says






Step into a winter fairytale. This is more than a Northern Lights hunt—it's gourmet dining meets Arctic adventure under the stars.
We pick you up in a luxury SUV from any location in Rovaniemi and drive deep into the wilderness to a frozen lake.
Here, step inside a warm glass igloo with a transparent roof offering uninterrupted views of the starry sky.
Enjoy a three-course Lappish dinner. Choose reindeer, Arctic char, or vegetarian (advise when booking). Savor pure flavors of the North while gazing at the stars above.
After dinner, we provide thermal overalls and boots. No experience needed—your guide gives a short briefing.
Then ride snowmobiles into the dark forest searching for the Northern Lights. Feel the crisp Arctic air and the thrill.
After the safari, we return to the warm changing room, then drive back to Rovaniemi where your guide drops you off.
Note: Dinner choice required at booking. Northern Lights are natural—we maximize chances but cannot guarantee them.
