Chase the Northern Lights on an evening forest ride
The land of Northern lights, evening snowmobiling in the taiga forest
When sun sets and the winter forest is covered in blue light we head out with our snowmobiles. This tour heads into the quiet and dark forests where, if we are lucky, we can see the northern lights above us.
During the tour we will stop for a break in a traditional kota teepee and enjoy coffee by an open fire as our guide tells us about the stars. You can enjoy your hot drink outside and marvel at the stars above and possible dancing lights.
Even if the northern lights would not show themselves the experience of driving in the dark forest is something to remember!
Join us on this journey to experience the Northern lights in the magnificent Ruka, Kuusamo area!
Please note: Northern lights sightings cannot be guaranteed because they are subject to weather conditions and solar activity.
