No driving experience is needed, but you must be at least 145 cm tall. Shuttle pickup from Levi center is available.

“Great adrenaline rush when spinning around the tight bends on the track. Staff were friendly and helpful. Equipment was good. It was -27 when we went so finger tips and toes can get cold after 15 mins on the track. Overall a great experience”

2.Aurora Photo Tour by Car with Transfer & Drinks

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 116 reviews · 3 hours · from $135

Leave Saariselkä by minibus with an English-speaking guide and search for clear skies around Lapland’s best aurora areas. The three-hour outing includes hotel pickup, warm clothing, hot drinks, gingerbread cookies, photography advice, and a link to tour photos. Your guide may change locations, but the aurora itself cannot be guaranteed.

“Unfortunately, the tour was disappointing. We did see the aurora; however, the driver didn’t show much enthusiasm, only driving for a while and stopping in a lay-by next to the road. There was some aurora activity, but the high tension cables above spoiled the occasion (as they would interfere with the view and -of course- with the pictures). The driver commented that “we don’t need to go elsewhere: we’ll see the same lights” (i’m paraphrasing, but that was the message). We knew that, but a search for a picturesque scenario (eg, the frozen lake Ukonjarvi ) would have made for a much better experience than stopping at the side of…”

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 21 reviews · 2 hours · from $117

Travel from your Rovaniemi accommodation to a traditional reindeer farm, feed the animals, take a 400 to 500 metre sleigh ride, and warm up in a kota hut with a hot drink and cookies.

5.Northern Lights Ice-Floating Experience with Transfer

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 18 reviews · 2.5 hours · from $146Top rated

You will be picked up near Ylläs, fitted with a full-body rescue suit in a warm cabin, then guided to an ice hole on a small Arctic lake. Float for about 20 to 30 minutes, watch the sky, and finish with hot berry juice by a campfire. English guidance and transfers are included.

“Collection was prompt, guides friendly. Once in the cosy house guides briefed us and split us into groups of 8. Once kitted up there is a little walk down a trail lit with fairy lights to the water. The experience of floating in the lake was awesome and once the lights were turned off the stars and the aurora were awesome. Even in the thick suits it is cold so wear thick thermals and fleeces underneath. After 20/30 minutes floating we got out, had warm berry juice and warmed by the fire. Absolutely the best activity ever!”

6.Private VIP Transfer from or to Helsinki Airport

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 11 reviews · 1 hour (approx.) · from $80

Book a private, one-way ride between Helsinki Airport and any address in the greater Helsinki area.

Allow extra time for passport control and check the luggage limit before booking.

“I used this company four times during our trip to Norway, Finland and Sweden. Konstantin was our driver and was *always* early to get us and very polite. The flexibility of this company was super helpful as well, as our original flight back to the US was cancelled and we had to stay an extra day. They graciously picked us up at 4 am instead of 11 am as we had previously planned. Highly recommend - car was clean with plenty of room for the two of us.”
