All northern lights tours compared

An aurora chase drives wherever the sky is clear. A combined evening works the other way round: you book the husky ride, the snowmobile safari or the reindeer sleigh and look up while you are out there. That makes it a good second night next to a chase, and a poor substitute for one if the aurora is the reason for your trip. The combinations are compared in detail on our sister sites, each with the facts that matter for its activity.

Northern lights + huskies

An evening husky ride followed by an aurora search, for example a 5 km sled ride with the search continuing by car. The aurora is not guaranteed on these evenings; the husky ride is the fixed part.

Evening husky tours compared

Northern lights + snowmobile

Evening snowmobile safaris where you drive yourself. Two adults often share one snowmobile and swap halfway. A driving licence is required; some tours accept only the physical card.

Evening snowmobile safaris compared

Northern lights + reindeer

Evening reindeer sleigh rides at a farm, from a short ride to a longer one through the forest. The aurora is a bonus here too, so check the length of the ride itself.

SnowWhat the sled, snowmobile and sleigh evenings depend on

How the sled ride works

Arctic Circle Snowmobile Park runs an evening where guests ride in a sled pulled by a snowmobile; about two hours of the evening are spent in the sled. You do not drive the snowmobile yourself. Children can come along, but not when the temperature is below −20 °C. If you travel with kids in deep winter, have a plan B for the evening.

Combination or chase?

A combination, if…

you are ready for a long night on the road; see guaranteed tours compared

Three checks before booking a combination

Check the length of the activity. A “reindeer sleigh ride” can be a short loop or a long ride; a “snowmobile safari” can mean a lot or a little time at the handlebars. Our sister sites compare exactly that.
Driving licence for snowmobiles. Self-drive snowmobile tours require a driving licence; some accept only the physical card.
No aurora guarantee. Where the combination listings mention the aurora, they state that it is not guaranteed.

FAQ

Can I combine the northern lights with a husky ride in Rovaniemi?

Yes. Evening husky tours include a sled ride and an aurora search afterwards. They are compared on our sister site for husky tours, with the distance on the sled for each tour. The aurora is not guaranteed on these evenings.

Do I need a driving licence for a northern lights snowmobile tour?

For a self-drive snowmobile safari, yes, and some tours accept only the physical licence card. On the sled ride behind a snowmobile you are a passenger and do not drive.

Can children join the aurora sled ride behind a snowmobile?

Yes, but not when the temperature is below −20 °C. On very cold nights children cannot take part.

Is the aurora guaranteed on activity combinations?

No. On husky, snowmobile and reindeer evenings the activity is the fixed part and the aurora is a bonus. For a refund rule, choose a guaranteed chase.

Can I do these combinations in autumn?

Snowmobile and reindeer sleigh tours need snow, so they run in winter. In autumn, the northern lights tours themselves, including lake floating, are the main option.
