NORTHERN LIGHTS · LEVI NORTHERN LIGHTS TOURS
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 15 Levi northern lights tours worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before the card comes out.
Ride a snowmobile through Levi’s dark Lappish forests for three hours while guides such as Carlos, Kevin, and Matias search for clear aurora views. You share a snowmobile with one other adult, stop at a hut for warm juice and sometimes sausages, and can bring children on a blanket-covered sledge. The aurora is never guaranteed.
“Great activity, great guides and driving was lots of fun”
Spend three hours in the Lapland wilderness with an English-speaking guide such as Andreas or Ovidiu. From a remote lake, you can watch for the aurora, walk on the ice with included snowshoes, warm up beside a fire, roast sausages, and use a telescope to photograph the moon and stars with your phone.
“We had an amazing time doing this tour! It was so nice to be cozy by the fire and be able to run out and see the northern lights! Our guide was awesome and got some magical pictures of us we will cherish forever.”
Travel by minivan from Levi to several dark locations in search of the Aurora Borealis. English-speaking guides such as Kalle, MP, and Marco have helped guests find clear viewing spots, while some evenings include blankets, hot berry juice, a fire, and sausages. Pickup is available from selected hotels, with a 2.5-hour tour.
“Marco is an amazing guide! He's a lot of fun to talk to and very interesting to listen to. He pays attention to the needs of his group. The tour is the perfect way to see the northern lights and experience the wonderful Finnish nature!”
Join Beyond Arctic for a five-and-a-half-hour Aurora hunt from Levi, limited to eight people per guide. Your English-speaking guide studies weather and solar forecasts, then drives a minivan to two or more remote stops. Expect hot drinks, Arctic photography help, tripods, and edited photos afterward.
“it was great and tour guide knowledgeable. He found a perfect place to view northern lights. highly recommended”
Heli and her local team at Soma Adventures take you from Levi to a private wilderness lake and traditional cabin. Expect aurora hunting, reindeer hides on the ice, homemade cakes, sausages, marshmallows, hot berry juice, photos, and possible snowshoeing or sled rides. Groups are limited to eight.
“Heli is so dedicated and makes the evening an unforgettable experience. She has a beautiful hut right by the lake where you can warm up and grill sausages or marshmallows. She offered homemade pastries and warm berry juice and told us a lot about Lapland and life here. While we waited for the northern lights to show up, we could enjoy a ride on a snowmobile or go on a short tour with snowshoes. She took great photos of us as well. When the Northern Lights were at their best, we were able to stay longer at the lake to enjoy the spectacle! It's the best Northern Lights tour I've…”
Leave Levi by car or bus for an open-sky viewing spot above the Arctic Circle. Your English-speaking guide builds a fire, grills sausages, and serves hot drinks and pastry while you wait for the aurora. Plan on about two hours outdoors. Seeing the lights is never guaranteed, but bad weather may allow a next-day reschedule.
“El tour fue genial, la guía (no recuerdo su nombre con exactitud porque es finés pero podría ser Ira ó Aira) era muy amable y simpática, nos contó varias historias y leyendas y estuvo muy pendiente del grupo. Hizo unas salchichas que estaban muy buenas, y nubes también con bebidas calientes. Tuvimos la suerte de contemplar brevemente la aurora en un par de ocasiones. Nos sentimos muy cómodos en ésta experiencia y habríamos repetido de no ser por el frío, que no lo soportamos 😂”
Meet Safartica in central Levi for a four-hour Aurora hunt through Finnish Lapland. Your English-speaking guide drives about 200 kilometers to several dark viewing spots, helps with night-camera settings, takes your portrait with a DSLR, and shares the photos afterward. Antoine and Adrien have earned especially warm praise for their guiding and photography.
“Nice trip, got on a bus made 3 stopped, the Northern Lights were fantastic. I liked our bus and tour guides. Not sure where you would go to the bathroom tho. Glad I didn't have to find out!”
Join a three-hour evening safari from Levi with hotel pickup, winter gear, a guide, and a snowmobile ride through Arctic forests. Stop for grilled sausages and hot tea by a campfire while watching for the Northern Lights. Guides such as Lukas and Jere have helped with driving and camera settings. Children can ride in a guide-pulled sled.
“Even though it was foggy and icy, we had a lot of fun and the overalls kept us warm. Lukas was a great Guide and we had a good time.”
You’ll leave Levi after dark for a two-hour Northern Lights hunt on a sledge pulled by snowmobile. An English-speaking guide leads you into darker forest and lake country, where you stop beneath the stars and wait for the aurora. Thermal overalls and snowmobiling equipment are included. Pickup is available from selected Levi hotels and resorts.
“Although the weather was against our luck, and we couldn t see the northern lights because of heavy snow, the tour was very nice- it s so beautiful to see at night the wild silent lapland nature. Our guides were very nice, funny and made everything they could and know, just to have a chance for the Aurora on the sky. So, I highly recommend their tours. Thank you!”
Ride a shared snowmobile through Levi’s moonlit forests for about three hours, stopping at dark viewing spots in search of the aurora. Pickup, winter clothing, helmets, and an English-speaking guide are included. Children ride in a covered sledge, while adults need a valid Class B driving license to drive.
“This was such an amazing experience! We had so much fun - after an exciting drive into the forest, we stopped to look for the Northern lights, followed by food over an open fire, before another exhilarating ride back to base. So much fun, amazing value, and awesome staff! We loved it!”
From Safartica’s Levi office, you travel about an hour into the Lapland night, put on a buoyant Arctic rescue suit, and float in an open lake without swimming skills. An English-speaking guide gives clear instructions, then you relax beneath the stars. Hot drinks help warm you afterward, while the Northern Lights remain a lucky possibility, not a promise.
“È stata una esperienza fantastica. Non economica, certo, ma indimenticabile! I bambini erano al settimo cielo. I ragazzi dell’organizzazione simpatici, seri e preparati.”
Heli and Ellen lead a small-group night from Levi into the Finnish wilderness, about 40 kilometers from town. You will watch the sky from a frozen private lake, warm up in a family cabin, and enjoy homemade pie, marshmallows, sausages, and hot berry juice. Pickup, thermal jackets, and photos are included.
“Very pontual, we couldn't see the northern lights but we had a great time at the caban with sweets, Juice and sausages. Great snowmobile ride and walk at the lake.”
Travel into the Arctic night from Levi with a guide who follows cloud cover, weather, and solar activity rather than a fixed route. Your small group may drive far for clearer skies, then pause with hot drinks and snacks. Guide Tim has earned praise for his care in extreme cold, while edited photos arrive by the next day.
Meet your English-speaking guide at Levi Tourist Information Centre, gear up in thermal clothing, and ride into the snowy forest after dark. Two adults share one snowmobile, while children ride in a guide-pulled sled. The 3-hour outing includes a fire stop with sausages and hot juice, but Northern Lights are never guaranteed.
“Un guide au top ! La route empruntée était très mauvaise pour faire de la moto. Impossible de sortir de la route pour profiter pleinement de la moto neige. Pas d aurores pendant la ballade.”
Leave Levi with guide Mikus in a minivan shared by up to eight people. Over three hours, you will search for clear, dark skies, pause for aurora photos, and warm up with tea, honey, cookies, or brownies. The route changes with clouds and conditions, and the lights are never guaranteed.
“We had a really positive experience overall. The service was straightforward, well-organized, and everything ran smoothly without any issues. Our guide was very relaxed and easygoing, which made the whole experience feel comfortable rather than overly scripted or rushed. A particularly nice touch was the homemade cookies and hot tea while we were out chasing the lights — it made a big difference, especially in the cold, and added a personal, thoughtful element to the evening. Most importantly, we were fortunate enough to actually see the Northern Lights, which made the whole experience very rewarding. All in all, a simple, pleasant, and well-run tour that delivered exactly what it promised.”
