This unique adventure combines the thrill of snowmobiling with the serene beauty of the polar night, taking you deep into Lapland's pristine landscapes for optimal Aurora Borealis viewing. Our commitment to sustainability ensures your journey respects nature's harmony, offering a truly silent and undisturbed exploration.
Your evening begins with a warm welcome and a comprehensive safety briefing, including expert instruction on operating our modern eSleds. Designed for ease of use, these electric snowmobiles allow for a smooth and quiet glide through the snow-covered terrain, making your journey an intimate experience with the Arctic night.
We'll journey away from Rovaniemi's city lights, venturing deep into the tranquil Lappish forests. Your knowledgeable guide will lead the way, sharing insights into the Arctic ecosystem and the fascinating science behind the Northern Lights. The silence of the eSleds allows you to fully appreciate the stillness of the snow-covered landscape and the subtle sounds of the wilderness.
The highlight of your journey is reaching a carefully selected, secluded hilltop viewpoint. This vantage point offers panoramic views and an unobstructed sky, providing the perfect stage for the awe-inspiring Northern Lights to appear. As you gaze upwards, your guide will be on hand to assist with photography, helping you capture this magical moment.
After soaking in the celestial spectacle (or enjoying the starry sky), we'll gather at a cozy fire camp. Here, you'll experience a traditional Finnish grilling experience, savoring delicious Lappish snacks and barbeque sausages around a warm, crackling fire. This comfortable setting is ideal for sharing stories and warming up before your silent return to Rovaniemi.

If the weather is -20C or below, Aurora eMotion reserves the right to transfer the children to venues by car in our eSled safaris.
Pregnant women Aurora eMotion doesn't recommend use of the snowmobile or sledge pulled by the snowmobile for pregnant women. Driving generates vibration depending on trail condition which can be harmful. If the program requires special organisation (e.g. additional transport), client is responsible for the possible extra costs.

For most of our snowmobile tours, we provide high-quality thermal outer clothing to keep you warm and safe during the adventure. This includes a thermal overall, winter boots, mittens, a balaclava, woolen socks, and a helmet. A scarf is also available if needed.
You're welcome to wear your own winter clothes and boots if you prefer, but we strongly recommend using our gear - it’s specially designed for Arctic conditions and will keep you comfortable even in very cold weather.
Underneath the thermal suit, we recommend wearing your own thermal underwear, fleece or wool layers, and sport or ski socks. If the temperature is below -15°C, you may also wear your own jacket underneath the overall for extra warmth.
No prior experience is needed! This safari is beginner-friendly. Before the ride, your guide will give clear safety instructions and a driving briefing. Most guests ride snowmobiles for the first time, and it’s easier than you might expect.
Please be on time! Our tours follow a strict schedule, and if you miss the hotel pick-up, you will not be able to join later. Arriving separately by taxi or private car is usually not possible, as it may disrupt the program and group safety. Plan ahead — we appreciate your understanding.
Snowmobile safaris can be physically demanding and involve vibrations that may not be safe for everyone. For safety reasons, we do not recommend this tour for pregnant women, as the snowmobile ride or sledge pulled by a snowmobile may cause discomfort or potential risk.
o
If you have any pre-existing health conditions (such as heart disease, asthma, diabetes, epilepsy, or back/hip problems), please consult your doctor before booking. Participation is at your own risk, and it’s important that you feel confident in your ability to take part.
If special arrangements are needed (such as separate transport), additional costs may apply.
We also highly recommend personal travel insurance, as our liability only covers damages under Finnish law and motor vehicle insurance.
The Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) are a natural phenomenon and their appearance can never be guaranteed. Their visibility depends entirely on clear skies (lack of cloud cover) and sufficient solar activity. Our tours are meticulously planned during the optimal season and take you to prime viewing locations away from city light pollution to maximize your chances, but nature remains unpredictable.
Yes, absolutely! Most of our snowmobile safaris are suitable for children aged 4 and up (please check the specific age recommendations on each tour page).
For safety reasons, children under 7 years old must ride in a covered sleigh pulled by the guide’s snowmobile. Only the guide is allowed to pull the sleigh, as it requires special experience and skill.
If your child is at least 140 cm tall, they can ride on the snowmobile behind an adult - in this case, the child is charged the adult price.
We always prioritize the safety and comfort of our younger guests, so feel free to contact us if you're unsure about which tour best suits your family.
