Minimum age is 12.Is it for me?You sit in a heated sleigh while the guide operates the snowmobile and reads the ice and sky — choose this if you want to watch the aurora without managing the machine or the cold yourself, or if you prefer a shared experience with a guide who knows these winter conditions rather than exploring on your own.
Northern Lights hunting in Sodankyla: Small-group SISU tourThe SISU Northern Lights Hunting tour is a 4-hour small-group experience in Sodankyla, Lapland, where you hunt the aurora with a local guide who knows the best dark-sky locations and shares stories about Arctic life and the Finnish concept of SISU.
