Description
Snowmobile night riding is an experience that belongs on every bucket list. Designed for adults, this tour takes you through the dark Lappish wilderness, where you guide your snowmobile beneath a sky full of stars. The trails are peaceful, and the landscape feels almost untouched.
Along the way, we pause to gather around a warm campfire, enjoying hot drinks and snacks. Your guide shares stories from the North, bringing the landscape and its traditions to life. And if luck is on your side, the Northern Lights may appear overhead. Ready to set off?

Night Snowmobile Safari with Thimo and Hannaleena
Our guides Thimo and Hannaleena were absolutely amazing!!! We did the night snowmobiling through Apukka resort (only the safari, we did not stay at resort), and we had the time of our lives. We even got lucky and saw the northern lights! Our guides were extremely knowledgeable of Lapland, the culture, and were so kind. They were very dedicated to find the perfect spot to try to see the lights for us, and were so much fun to hang out with in the Kota. We talked and got to know each other as our guides told jokes and built a fire from scratch. Amazing experience, and even if you don’t get lucky and see the lights, you still have a blast snowmobiling around the forest! Thank you so much Thimo and Hannaleena!!!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review!
We’re thrilled to hear that you had such an amazing night snowmobile safari and that Thimo and Hannaleena made the experience so special for you. They truly love what they do, and it means a lot to hear that their knowledge, dedication, and warmth stood out.
How lucky that you also got to see the northern lights! ✨ But as you said, even without them, a night ride through the forest and time together in the Kota by the fire is something truly magical.
We will be sure to pass your kind words on to Thimo and Hannaleena. Thank you for choosing to adventure with us!
Kind regards,
Johanna / Apukka Resort team

Beautiful experience
We traveled about 30km on board the snowmobile. The staff provided us with all the necessary clothing to fight the cold. We stopped in a hut to enjoy a hot drink and eat a grilled sausage and biscuits. The guides were very helpful and kind. Last but not least, we saw the Aurora!!! An experience to do definitely.

Very unique opportunity to see the Northern Lights properly
This was really cool to do, there was a good explanation and guidance. The group wasn't too big either. At a few moments the northern lights were very visible and you stop as a group. We were able to take beautiful pictures here. The included bbq was very tasty. Waiting in the cold and sitting on the back is very cold so good and sufficient clothing is a must.

It was ok.
It was ok, nice to be able to explore untouched scenes and have the chance to drive a snowmobile for the first time. But it is about it.

Great fun
We really enjoyed this tour, zooming across the frozen lake at night and then off into the forest. We felt that the stop in the middle of the tour with the fire was a bit too long but that might have been because the weather was so bad - it was very snowy and cold and hard to see, and it wasn't great to stand around in. If it was a clear night with the aurora showing it's possible I would have wanted to stand there for a lot longer! The actual bits on the snowmobile were great and our guide was excellent. I've never done anything like this before and was a bit nervous at first but I soon got into it.
