Fantastic Northern Lights - We were very lucky and saw huge auroras, which was fantastic and also thanks to the good planning of our guide Touko. The whole trip was perfect!

Memorable experience - The whole experience was magical right from the sleigh ride, to having the guide create a magical experience of viewing the Northern lights. The experience didn't end there and we were treated to warm food in an authentic setting supplemented by visiting reindeer. Special shout out to providing good food for vegetarians. Will definitely recommend this.

Great tour, recommended - The tour was very very nice and well done. That day we couldn’t see the Northern Lights because of clouds, but it doesn’t detract from the quality of the tour.

The Northern Lights tour... - The Northern Lights tour to Lake Inari from Ivalo with Viator was a fantastic experience! Although the weather didn’t cooperate, the guides went above and beyond to make the trip memorable by taking us to visit reindeer and enjoying a delicious dinner by the lake. Highly recommended for a well-organized and enjoyable adventure!

Out of this world experience with aurora borealis show in the sky - Maksim is a lovely and kind guide who took care of our group of 8 very well. We received proper warm clothing, shoes and gloves and off we went to Lake Inari on a snowmobile safari which was a fabulous experience. Dinner was provided in a local island hut with fire and hot drinks, after feeding the reindeers. After dinner the polar lights magically appeared on the sky and delivered an unforgettable show which we won’t forget anytime soon Thanks for the beautiful memories, we felt well looked after by Maksim, highly recommended, regardless of the steep price point, it’s worth it!

Nice excursion in the evening looking for the northern lights but you can't order them unfortunately... - The excursion was very nice! Also because it was in the evening. We stood on Lake Inari for a long time to admire the northern lights but we were unlucky... However, it was a nice ride and dinner in the tippi was also a very nice experience.
