Fantastic! - My husband and I absolutely loved this experience. Huge thank you to Elise and Jesus for being fantastic guides and ensuring we were all safe and having fun. We didn’t see the Aurora (100% cloud cover) but it didn’t spoil the evening at all. Book it. You won’t be disappointed.

Perfect!! - Earlier this year I joined snowmobile tour but didn’t have the chance to see the aurora yet. The snowmobile experience was super super great 10/10. The guide was friendly and supportive, definitely the best experience in Finland. I also came back in Oct to catch the aurora, and luckily, I got it. It's so magical and worth trying. I really want to come back early next year to enjoy snowmobile even more

We had a great time! No... - We had a great time! No aurora since it was cloudy but Yuca did his best to get us into a prime spot. At one point the app was showing us in the red and best probability which I had never seen before! However clouds never passed but we still had an amazing time snowmobiling in the Artic Circle and stayed warm with the jumpsuits and gloves they provide. Yuca was an amazing guide, very friendly and knowledgeable! Highly recommend him and this experience

Amazing Aurora chase on snowmobiles - We wanted to express our gratitude to Sunny Safari for an amazing experience snowmobiling to search for Northern Lights. Sami and Carlos were very friendly and helpful and did a great job in maximizing our time to spot the Northern Lights deep in the woods of Lapland. Highly recommend!

Worth the time and money - Snowmobiles ran well, the pathway we took was quite bumpy but the views were nice and sky was perfectly clear. Although no auroras were seen during the ride, it was a great way to spend the evening. Although, we got stuck behind someone who wasn't following the rules and the instructions had to keep informing him of rule breaks (he was riding color but trying to film, swerving around instead of staying in line, and slowing down randomly and speeding up a ton to catch up when we got behind).

Great night time tour - Great evening we have a nice group, it’s was like -12 so definitely wear extra layers of clothes under the suits giving. We only seen like 30 seconds of the northern because of clouds but it was still amazing. Would love to do a day time tour also.

Not an Aurora Hunt — Just a Snowmobile Ride in the Woods ⭐️⭐️ - I’m leaving an honest review because the experience didn’t match what was advertised. This tour is sold as “Searching Aurora with Snowmobile”, which strongly implies actual aurora chasing — meaning the guides should be monitoring and making decisions based on real conditions such as solar activity and local weather (things like the Kp-index, solar wind, Bz orientation, and cloud coverage). That did not happen. The reality is that the group went to a pre-designated spot, parked, and waited. There was no real “searching” involved, and honestly, that’s not what aurora hunting is. On top of that, the weather conditions that night were very poor — heavy clouds and snowfall — making the chances of seeing Northern Lights extremely low. In a case like that, the tour should either be cancelled/rescheduled or clearly repositioned as a snowmobile ride with an aurora possibility (not the main promise). We paid 150 EUR each, and the value just wasn’t there given the conditions and lack of actual chasing. That said, the snowmobile ride itself was fun, and being out in the forest at night was still a cool experience from an adventure perspective. Important note: I would not recommend this tour for young kids or anyone with back issues, because the trail is extremely bumpy and can be uncomfortable. Overall, my main suggestion is simple: rename the tour to reflect what it really is, so expectations match the experience.
