Chase the
Northern Lights
in Ruka

Our flagship experience — the definitive Ruka Northern Lights tour. Using real-time space weather data, KP-index monitoring, and our expert knowledge of the Kuusamo wilderness, our guides take you to the perfect aurora viewing location every single night.

You'll stand beneath curtains of shimmering green, violet, and white light in absolute silence, far from city lights, warming your hands around a crackling campfire with hot chocolate in hand. Our professional photography coaching means you'll go home with images that look like they belong in National Geographic.

If the Northern Lights don't appear on your tour night — for any reason — we rebook you on the next available tour at absolutely zero cost. That is our guarantee, and we have never broken it.

There are few experiences in the world that combine two such powerful sensations — the primal thrill of mushing your own team of eager Siberian huskies through a snow-covered Lapland forest, and then watching the sky erupt in waves of electric colour above you.

Your evening begins at our partner's husky farm, where you'll meet your team of 4–6 dogs and learn the basics of mushing from your guide. Then you set off into the wilderness, gliding silently between snow-laden pine trees, the only sound the soft panting of your dogs and the crunch of the sled on fresh snow.

After the safari, we drive to our best aurora viewing point and begin the hunt. Hot drinks and a warm campfire keep you comfortable as the lights — green, purple, and white — dance overhead.

This is aurora hunting for the adventurous. We load up our high-powered snowmobiles and race across the frozen surface of Lapland's vast wilderness lakes, cutting through crisp arctic air with the stars blazing above — heading deep into darkness where no light pollution can dim the show.

Our convoy of snowmobiles follows expert guides along scenic trails through old-growth pine forest and across frozen lakes, stopping at breathtaking viewpoints where the horizon stretches to infinity. No prior snowmobile experience required — a quick safety briefing and you're off.

After the aurora display, we warm up with hot drinks and a campfire in the forest before snowmobiling back under the stars. Pure adrenaline meets pure wonder.

This is the soul of Finnish Lapland — ancient, slow, and deeply restorative. A traditional reindeer sleigh glides you silently through snow-draped pine forests while the sky above shifts through shades of deep blue and violet. Your Sámi reindeer herder guide shares centuries of wisdom about life in the north.

After the sleigh ride, you are welcomed into a traditional Finnish log smoke sauna — one of Finland's most treasured cultural rituals. As the heat builds and the birch scent fills the air, you feel the arctic cold melt away. Then comes the ultimate contrast: a bracing plunge through a hole cut in the frozen lake beneath a sky full of stars.

We end the evening with a lakeside aurora watch, hot lingonberry juice, and grilled local sausages over an open fire. This tour sells out faster than any other experience we offer.
