Ivalo: Lake Inari Northern Lights Tour w/ Reindeer & Dinner

1.Lake Inari Northern Lights Tour w/ Reindeer & Dinner

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 80 reviews · 4 hours · from $194Our pick

From Ivalo, Tina and Tapio’s small family operation takes you by minibus to Koppelo, then by reindeer-hide-covered sleigh across the frozen lake to their island cottage and teepees. Expect thermal gear, reindeer feeding, fire-cooked fish or reindeer, and a small-group English tour.

“Zonder noorderlicht (wat natuurlijk nooit te garanderen is) is deze tocht wat magertjes. Het is vooral een (koude) tocht over het meer in een slee achter een sneeuwscooter gevolgd door een tussenstop in een tipi tent met vuur waarop worstje/soep/brood worden klaargemaakt en waar je de gelegenheid krijgt 2 rendieren te voeren. Daarna nog paar minuten terug met de slee naar de auto die ons terugbracht naar de beginlocatie waar we onze dikke geleende pakken konden inleveren en daarna teruggebracht werden naar ons hotel. Als totaalpakket niet slecht als aanbod, maar in de praktijk zonder noorderlicht heeft het weinig om het lijf.”

Saariselkä: Northern Lights Tour to Lake Inari & Dinner

3.Northern Lights Tour to Lake Inari & Dinner

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 25 reviews · 5 hours · from $222

You’ll leave Saariselkä for Koppelo, gear up in thermal clothing, and ride a reindeer-hide-covered sleigh to a frozen lakeside and private island. Tina and Tapio host dinner in a traditional kota, while your English-speaking guide shares local stories and helps you feed friendly reindeer.

“Deze trip was een complete beleving; alles zat er in; natuur en cultuur. Gids Laurie en z'n vrouw verzorgden ons goed. Vertelden ons vanalles met het enthousiasme alsof ze het voor de eerste keer deden. Wat zeker niet het geval was, te merken aan de soepele manier waarop de trip verliep. We hebben alles bij elkaar een uur op het meer gereden in een grote 10-persoons slee die door Laurie werd getrokken met een snowmobile. We hadden de pech dat er precies boven ons een wolk hing dus konden we Noorderlicht niet zien. Iets later, na het eten, trok de wolk weg en zagen we wel vage strepen. Mooie foto's…”
