Experience the magnificent Northern Lights in comfort on this minivan chase in Finnish Lapland from Saariselkä. Welcoming adventurers from ages 4 and up!

Saariselkä is a village located in the northern part of Finnish Lapland. It is surrounded by vast wilderness areas, including pristine forests, mountains, and Arctic tundra. This makes it an ideal destination for outdoor activities and nature enthusiasts. Due to its northern location, Saariselkä is also one of the best places in the world to witness the Northern Lights during the winter months. The clear, dark skies provide optimal conditions for observing this natural phenomenon.

The excursion will begin at the meeting point (transfer is also available from specific locations upon booking), where you will meet your experienced guide. You and your group (a maximum of 7 participants) will pile into a warm and cosy minivan. From there, the chase begins!

The guide will drive you to the best area to witness the Northern Lights on that evening. Sometimes, the sky might be clearer north or south of Saariselkä. The experienced team will track the weather and travel in search of clear skies. This hunt for the Northern Lights is ideal for those who want to travel in comfort! Along the way, your guide will share insights about Arctic life and the history of the region.

Once you have reached the prime viewpoint, you will leave the van to admire the magical Aurora Borealis. You will enjoy some hot drinks and snacks while taking in the magnificent sight. In this remote Arctic location away from light pollution, the sky should dance before your eyes. There will be plenty of time to behold this spectacle and take pictures to capture the memory. Once you have finished your mesmerising encounter with the Northern Lights, you will return to the original meeting point by minivan again.
