Price: £85 (per adult, two sharing) or £103 (single rider), £66 (per child 2-15)
A memorable experience. Take a night time safari driving your own snowmobile, led by a local guide, to a nearby vantage point where, if you are lucky, you may see the Northern Lights evolving in the sky (a stunning natural phenomenon which, of course, cannot be guaranteed). Includes hot drinks. Children travel in sleds pulled behind the guide's snowmobile.

Adult Snowmobile Wilderness
Duration: Four hours
Price: £135 (per adult, two sharing) or £180 (single rider) (Adults only)
Venture into the serene Arctic wilderness on an exhilarating safari. Few experiences compare with the thrill of journeying effortlessly through forests and across frozen lakes, with the splendour of nature spread around you. Includes hot drinks.

Ice Fishing by Snowmobile
Duration: 1.5 hours.
Price: £75 (per adult, two sharing), £44 (child 2-15)
This is a great trip for all the family. You travel by snowmobile to a nearby popular fishing site where you can try your hand at traditional ice-fishing – you just drill a hole in the ice and lower your baited hook into the icy waters below.

PLEASE NOTE: Snowmobile safaris include helmet and third party insurance (self risk excess E550 payable locally in case of accident).

HUSKY SAFARIS

Northern Lights Husky Safari
Duration: One hour.
Price: £85 (per adult, two sharing), £66 (per child 2-15)
Take a night time safari on a sledge mushing your own team of dogs to a nearby vantage point where, if you are fortunate, you may see the Northern Lights evolving in the sky above (a stunning natural phenomenon which, of course, cannot be guaranteed). Includes hot drinks.

Puppy Encounter
Duration: One hour.
Price: £110 (adult), £90 (child 2-15)
Strictly limited numbers are available for this highly popular opportunity to befriend the husky puppies. You are transferred to the husky camp, where you meet the latest puppy litter and hear stories from real-life mushers. Includes hot drinks.

Adult Mushing experience
Duration: 2.5 hours.
Price: £165 (Adults only)
You are transferred to the husky kennels, where eager teams of dogs will be waiting, straining at the leash! Each person will drive his own sled, pulled by a team of huskies. Travelling deep into the wilderness, this is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the grandeur of the magnificent winter scenery. Includes hot drinks.

PLEASE NOTE: The ability to drive and control a husky team on longer safaris is determined by physical attributes. Normally anybody over the age of 18 should be able to handle a dog team comfortably.

REINDEER SAFARI

Reindeer Herding
Duration: Two hours.
Price: £65 (per adult, two sharing), £55 (per child 2-15)
You will visit a reindeer gathering place where you learn about reindeer herding and even how to lasso a reindeer. Then venture into the Arctic wilderness on a short safari, drawn through the snow by a reindeer while sitting in a sleigh. Includes hot drinks.

OVERNIGHT OPTIONS

A Night in an Igloo
Duration: Overnight.
Price: £120 pp. (Adults and children)
Spend a night in the grounds of the Davvi Arctic Lodge in Karesuando, sleeping in an authentic igloo! With no electricity, your ice house is lit by candles, while your bed is a block of ice, covered with reindeer skins, while each person wraps up warm in a single Arctic sleeping bag. Includes hot drinks. This experience is available on short breaks to Karesuando only.

NB: All safaris include expert guides, equipment and all necessary instruction. On our Northern Lights night safaris, we search for the best viewpoints rather than aim to cover a specific distance. On all safaris, unless a supplement is paid to secure a single rider, you may be required to share with another person from the group. All prices are per person. All distances and durations are approximate and subject to weather conditions and route on the day.
