Our stay in Finland was 5 days but no doubt the northern lights experience was on of the most memorable of all. We booked our tickets at the main office, and the same evening we went onto the wilderness with a quick guide to how to operate the snowmobile.
After an hour we came to an open space where northern lights was so powerful that it blew our mind.
Under the whole tour we had pleasure of the company of Myriam the guide with great insight of the world and music and Bollywood 😊

Despite the rough terrain and the cloudy sky, we still had a lot of fun driving through the magical landscape of Rovaniemi, not at least thanks to our super friendly guide Manel!
The pick-up / drop-off from and to our accomodation worked well and we had a lot of equipments and clothing available for rent. The safety instructions for snowmobiles were clear and we got tons of helpful tips from our guide regarding hunting northern. The sausages and berry tea around the camp fire were delicious. Overall we recommend this acticity :)

We were a group of 13 snowmobiles split up to two guides. The two guides (Jordi and Pierre) were super friendly and helpful. On the campfire we had a saussage and luckily we saw some nordernlights. The guides helped us for having the perfect pictures, thank you!

I missed my tour, I missed it by 10 minutes, and they left. I asked the guide(who called) to pick me up cuz I am nearby already. He said ok. But then did not reply for the next 5-10 minutes so I called him, and he said they are leaving already. He told me to call the office.
I called the office. Lady said no refunds/reschedule.
OK, fine it was my fault partly, I should have left earlier. But do know I just arrived in Finland. It is -23 degrees at 8:30pm,and I am not used to this weather. I honestly, sincerely was suffering from the cold but was walking slowly towards the office. But I admit, still my fault.
What irritates me though is that earlier on the day, when I paid in the office, I asked for pickup twice, the lady kept saying no pickup, must be there 9pm. I just checked their site, and they do offer pickup. Could have helped a lot especially if it is part of what they offer, rather than let me find my way to the office at -23 degrees at night. A pickup is what? 5 minutes to my place?
A reschedule or a little refund would have been nice since in their part, they failed to give the service that is included for the full price I paid. Instead, the lady just explained why no refunds, that customers have all reasons but they dont give it cuz they could have sold the spot for another, said bye, and dropped the call. I get that. But they should do this case to case basis especially since, like I said, partly their fault too.

We went on the snowmobile northern light tour and were extremely disappointed and dissatisfied with the whole tour. We were picked up on time at 19:25 and had to pick up another 2. We were told there are 6 of us in total tonight, where 2 of them were already waiting at Nordic office. When we got to the office, we changed to our thermals as instructed. However, we had to wait till around 20:45 before we headed for the snowmobile meeting point. This is because the 2 tourists in our group had originally booked for Chinese speaking tour guide as they could barely understand any English, as such the tour guide Marnel wasn't too comfortable. So we had to wait and wait as they were trying to source a translator for them. After waiting for the translator to explain to the 2 tourists, Nordic had accepted another booking of 2 people, so we had to wait again while they get changed.
We eventually left the office around 20:45 and got to the snowmobile meeting point, when we were told that we had to wait for another couple who was on their way there (so more bookings accepted). By the time we actually hit the accelerator on the snowmobile, it was already 21:45 (2.5 hours from pick up).
The riding was slow at best 10-15 kph although the track conditions were not the best. We drove for a while before we stopped at a place where there was clear sky. It was 22:00 and this was where we stopped to setup campfire to cook Lappish BBQ as advertised. Throughout the night, the sky was pretty clear but apparently there was no Northern Lights. We weren't informed that sometimes the light can be seen as grey-ish color if it was really weak/faint. We stayed at that place for an hour before we left to head back to our original starting point. By the time we parked the snowmobile, it was 23:45.
The original product advertised this tour as a 5H package from 20:00. However, my experience in this was only a 2H ride package and 2.5H of waiting time. For me to book 2 solo drivings at €179 per person, it was ridiculous and waste of money.
If your looking for a snow mobile northern light hunt, please look at other options.

Dear madam,
Thank you for taking time reviewing us.
I am sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the Northern Lights Snowmobile experience, we are working to improve our tours and your review will helps us achieve our goal!
We understand that you were not expecting to wait for so long in the office. But unfortunately since the 2 Chinese customers didn't understand English we had to make sure they would know all the Snowmobile procedures before the tour. That way we can avoid crashes or problem during the tour.
I hope you at least enjoyed the drive as well as the beautiful Nordic Sky in the tour.
Best regards
Nordic Unique Travels Team

We had so much much fun on this trip despite quads replacing the snow mobiles due to lack of snow, however still very cold. We were provided with full instruction on how to drive the quads. We were provided with a nice hot berry drink half way through the trip to warm our hands! We caught a brief glance of the northern lights.
Max was a great friendly guide who was attendive to the needs of the group. Many thanks for a wonderful trip.

We're experienced snow mobiling people so perhaps jaded with the main objective being to see the northern lights we got lucky and it was worth every penny - but the riding is slow 10-15 and even slower in turns - wish they offered a more experienced option but the guides we're great and we got what we wanted! Don't purchase the insurance you don't go fast enough to do any harm. If your looking for a snow mobile adventure look at other options but if nother lights are all you seek this might be for you

Hello, coz6!
Thank you very much for your feedback.
Indeed, we take a bit more easily in terms of speed with the snowmobile during the Northern Light tours involving it. This measure is related both to the opportunity to appreciate the phenomenon and to security matters. Indeed, we offer programmes for adventurous people like you, who certainly enjoys the idea of some Arctic breeze on the face while feeling the adrenaline of the snowmobiles. :).
Best regards

If you want an aurora snowmobile tour than look no further, we were searching for ages and going around in circles, let me save you time and go with these guys,
They keep you informed of any updates to times and all, you meet at the shop or get a local pick up,
you get suited up if you need extra layers and then the short trip towards santa clause village, we were v lucky for as soon as we came out the van you could see stars unlike my other tours and the the guides said look up its beginning and out of nowhere the northern lights appeared, we had to make the most out of it as they disappear fast sometimes,
after appreciating the lights you start the snowmobiling, if u are a speed demon too you can fly near top speed and the guides assist with everything, a sausage and a few marshmallows on the fire and some time in the wilderness was great, the lights didnt return but its a very cool trip regardless, dont forget its a lottery on if you see them so enjoy the activities as the are and hope for the best.
ps Ken you sre a hero thanks for going the extra mile with the great evening
