Choose from nature tours lasting either 3 or 5 hours, each inclusive of safety gear, winter clothing, an option for lunch or fika, and accommodating two people per snowmobile unless opting for a single driver supplement.
These expeditions offer more than adventure; they present an exclusive chance to witness local wildlife like reindeer and moose in their natural habitat.

Traverse these snow-capped forests and frozen lakes, marveling at the glistening trees and tranquil rivers, creating an unforgettable experience amidst Lapland’s wilderness. The adventure offers different durations and options, from self-driving the sled to savoring lunch or fika. The huskies steal the spotlight with their playful spirits, ensuring this expedition remains etched in your memory forever.

Northern lights tour reviews
We booked with Aurora for a short winter break to celebrate an event. We wanted something special and that’s what we got. Clear information was backed up with straightforward booking detail, and we had a super, holiday with no complications.
The holiday exceeded my expectations and I will use Aurora in the future. Thank you!
My wife and I had an awesome and memorable trip to Iceland thanks to Alex at Aurora Nights. Alex tailored the itinerary to exactly what we wanted to see and chose excellent hotels to stay at. We totally enjoyed the city of Reykjavik and the many beautiful waterfalls. He went above and beyond to not only recommend sights to see around the Golden Circle and Ring Road, but also mapped it out so we were prepared to drive through the country during unpredictable weather and road conditions. And we were especially pleased to see the Northern Lights on our visit. Alex was very flexible to make changes to our plans and choosing the wonderful Sky Lagoon to replace our tickets for the Blue Lagoon due to the closure from the volcanic activity. We highly recommend Alex and Aurora Nights.
An amazing trip and excellent service provided by all involved. Great value for money too. Food was excellent. Accommodation was wonderful and the trips booked were outstanding. An amazing trip
Cannot thank this company enough. Our break to Iceland was the second time we’ve let them organise everything for us and once again they didn’t disappoint. Everything ran seamlessly and the organised tours were wonderful. This company knows what they are doing. If you want to experience the geysers, the volcano, the northern lights and all the other exciting things that Iceland has to offer then this is the company to use.
