Northern lights safari tours: the title names the northern lights or the aurora, so the ride is timed for the dark hours. Typical = median. Prices are the lowest listed per-person prices; private tours and group prices are left out. Details and sources below.
These safaris are timed for the dark hours and the title names the northern lights or the aurora, so the ride itself is the same machine and trail as a daytime safari, run at night. The typical tour lasts three hours, an hour longer than a plain daytime safari. 36 of the 42 say winter clothing is included and 33 include food or a hot drink, which matters more when you are standing still in the cold waiting for the sky.

Features are marked from the text of the listings and the operators’ own pages. A missing mark means the listing does not mention it, not that it is left out. Duration groups use the midpoint of the stated range (a 3–4 hour tour counts as 3.5 hours): up to 3 hours, over 3 and up to 5, over 5 and up to 7, over 7 hours, and tours of several days. Season comes from the operator’s own availability calendar in Visit Finland DataHub, or from a season stated on the operator’s own page. The snow season means the months when snow covers the ground on at least half the days at the weather station used on this site. A tour without a season simply does not state one. Filters are offered only for features that the listings state for at least 70 % of the tours and at least 50 % of the tours from each source, so a feature can be marked on a tour without being offered as a filter. 15 more snowmobile safaris in our data are not listed here because they have no working booking link yet.

What is included
| Item | Stated in the listing | Not stated |
|---|---|---|
| Winter clothing | 36 included 0 not included or on request | 6 of 42 |
| Hotel pickup | 20 included 10 available / pickup points 0 not included | 12 of 42 |
| Can you drive the snowmobile yourself? | 25 yes, for at least part of the tour | 17 of 42 |
Not stated = not found in the collected listing text (on GetYourGuide, the start of the "included" list), so a listing can say more than we found. Hotel pickup "available / pickup points" = pickup offered or pickup points listed, possibly at extra cost. "Yes" was recorded only where the operator’s own page states it directly; not stated does not mean no.
Price per hour
| Lowest | Typical | Highest | Tours with price and duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| €17 / h | €46 / h | €80 / h | 16 of 42 |
Only tours that are not private and state both a per-person price and a duration in hours. Duration = midpoint of the stated range; multi-day tours are left out. Typical = median; not shown when fewer than 5 tours. Price per hour does not account for what is included, so it is a rough comparison, not a measure of value.
Questions
How much do northern lights snowmobile safaris cost?
19 of the 42 tours that are not private state a per-person price: from €68, typically (median) €159 and up to €189. 23 state a group price or no price basis, so the tour list can show higher prices than this range. These are listed starting prices on the collection date.
How long do northern lights snowmobile safaris take?
37 of 42 tours state a duration in hours: typically (median) 3 h, from 1 h 30 min to 8 h. 5 do not state a usable duration.
Can children join?
10 of the 42 tours here state a minimum age: from 2 years to 18 years (median 3 years); 4 from the operator's own page, 6 from the GetYourGuide age field. The other 32 do not state one, which is not the same as saying children can join — ask the operator. Tours with a stated minimum age of 4 years or less are marked family-friendly.
Can you drive the snowmobile yourself?
25 of 42 tours say you can drive yourself for at least part of the tour. 17 do not say so on the operator's own page — that does not mean you cannot, only that it is not confirmed, so check before booking.
Who are northern lights snowmobile safaris for?
This group suits travellers who want the aurora and the snowmobile in one evening rather than two separate bookings. Seeing the lights is never guaranteed: a clear, dark sky is a precondition, not a promise, so treat the ride itself as what you are paying for. The median stated per-person price is €159, and the stated prices in this group run from €68 to €189.

Sources and method
Tour data
How operators were found: no single list is complete, so we combined 619 candidate companies from several sources (Visit Finland DataHub 137, GetYourGuide 88, the Finnish Trade Register (PRH open data, tourism-related lines of business) 424, Viator 6, visitrovaniemi.fi listings 38, the visitrovaniemi.fi company directory 89, web searches in seven languages 141; a company can be in several). Each candidate with a website was checked on its own website. Tour details are taken first from the operator’s own website (or Visit Finland DataHub (opens in a new tab)); booking platforms fill in what the operator’s page does not state.
The tables and tour lists include the snowmobile safaris in our data that have a working booking link: 122 tours (104 with details from the operator’s own website; listed on: DataHub 35, GetYourGuide 12, visitrovaniemi.fi 15, operator site 83, Viator 3 — the same tour is often listed in several places, so these add up to more than 122), collected 2026-09-21–2026-09-22. Snowmobile safaris and snowmobile rides: snowmobile (or snow scooter) named in the tour title, or (if the title names no activity) in the collected listing text. Pages that are not a single bookable snowmobile experience (overview pages, photo galleries, accommodation) were left out after reading the page. 15 tours were left out because they have no working booking link yet. A tour whose operating base is more than 50 km from the centre is listed only when the tour page says it departs from, or picks up in, the destination; the distance is then shown on the tour. Distances are measured from coordinates in Visit Finland DataHub, or from the postal code of the company’s registered address (PRH open data (opens in a new tab); postal code areas from Statistics Finland (opens in a new tab)). Prices change daily; check them on the booking page.
Links to operators’ own pages were last checked on : 1404 addresses across every activity on this site, of which 21 did not answer with a working page and are not linked. GetYourGuide and Viator links are not fetched.
This page shows the 42 of them in the group “Northern lights safari” (the title names the northern lights or the aurora, so the ride is timed for the dark hours). Each tour belongs to exactly one group.
