Levi: Northern Lights Snowmobile Safari and Campfire Picnic

4.5 (118 verified reviews)

About This Experience

Easy Travel’s evening safari pairs two things people come to Levi for: a snowmobile ride through the forest at night and a campfire in the snow. You are collected from your hotel, kitted out in a thermal overall, boots, gloves, wool socks, scarf and helmet, and given instructions before setting off behind the guide. The listing says the instructions are meant to get you going even if you have never driven one.

Partway through the three hours the group stops in a secluded spot, the guide builds a fire, and you roast sausages with snacks and hot drinks in hand before riding back. This is an experience-first tour: the trail stays in the forests around Levi and does not chase clear sky. If the aurora is out, you see it from the trail and the fire; if not, the ride and the picnic are the night. Recent reviews include both, from a December group who saw the lights and a lunar halo to a French guest who saw none and still called the safari and picnic perfect.

The booking choice is the main thing to get right. The double option costs $207 per person with two adults sharing one machine and taking turns; the single option costs $263 per person and gives one adult (18 or over) a snowmobile of their own (both prices for 2 November 2026, checked October 2026). Odd-numbered groups must add a single snowmobile, because the double option cannot be booked for an uneven number. Every driver needs a car or motorcycle license and a zero blood alcohol level. Easy Travel does not publish a damage excess on its product page or terms, so ask about liability before you ride.

Families are welcome. Children ride in a sled pulled by the guide’s snowmobile, and under-15s can sit on a snowmobile only if they are at least 140 cm tall and pay the adult price. Adults without a license can join the same way, as a scenic sled ride. The listing rules the tour out for pregnant women, people with mobility impairments or recent surgery and babies under one. It is rated 4.5 from 118 reviews.

The first bookable date is 2 November 2026, early in a season that depends on snow. If you mainly want auroras and a fire without driving, compare Safartica’s campfire evening (our review); for a cheaper safari without the campfire, see Arctic Circle Snowmobile Park’s (our review).

Highlights

  • Ride snowmobiles through the forests of Finnish Lapland after dark, even as a first-time driver
  • A campfire break in a secluded spot, roasting sausages over the open flame
  • Look for auroras and bright stars as you travel through the wilderness
  • Choose a double snowmobile shared by two, or a single machine of your own
  • Children and non-drivers travel in a sled pulled by the guide's snowmobile

What's Included

  • ✓ Hotel pickup and drop-off in Levi
  • ✓ Snowmobile instructions and the guided safari
  • ✓ Thermal overall, boots, gloves, wool socks and scarf
  • ✓ Helmet
  • ✓ Snacks, grilled sausages and hot drinks at the campfire
  • ✓ English-speaking guide

Not Included

  • Dinner
  • Tips
  • The single-snowmobile supplement, which odd-numbered groups must book for one driver

What to Bring

  • An original car or motorcycle driver's license for every driver
  • Thermal base layer and a fleece mid layer to wear under the overall
  • A wool hat and thin gloves to go under the supplied gloves
  • A phone or camera with a full battery, since cold drains batteries fast

Good to Know & Caveats

  • Experience-first: the safari and the campfire are the evening, and the route stays in the forests around Levi. Reviewers who saw no aurora still rated the ride and picnic highly.
  • The Northern Lights cannot be promised on any tour. The listing makes no refund promise for a night without auroras; free cancellation runs until 24 hours before the start.
  • Two prices: the double option ($207 per person, two adults share one machine) and the single option ($263 per person, one adult 18+ drives their own), both on 2 November 2026 (checked October 2026).
  • Uneven groups (1, 3, 5 adults and so on) must add a single snowmobile. If three adults pick the double option, the listing says the third rides in the sledge.
  • Every driver needs a car or motorcycle license and zero blood alcohol. Easy Travel's product page and terms do not state a damage excess, so ask about liability before you ride.
  • Under-15s may sit on a snowmobile as passengers only if they are at least 140 cm tall and booked at the adult price; otherwise they ride in the sled behind the guide.
  • The first bookable date is 2 November 2026, very early for snow. Permanent snow cover usually starts between mid-October and early November around Levi, so early dates depend on the season.
  • Booked within two days of travel, confirmation can take up to 48 hours. The 2 November slot was shown starting at 8:00 PM, so expect a late return.

Not Suitable For

  • Pregnant women
  • People with mobility impairments
  • People with recent surgeries
  • Babies under 1 year

What Travelers Say

Rated 4.5/5 by 118 verified GetYourGuide travelers.

It was fantastic, our guide was completely attentive to our needs. Luckily, we were a small group, so communication was easy. We did the longer tour and saw the Northern Lights three times. We would book it again in a heartbeat!

Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to see the Northern Lights. However, the snowmobile safari and the picnic were perfect.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the double and single snowmobile options?

On the double option ($207 per person on 2 November 2026) two adults share one machine, one driving and one riding as passenger. On the single option ($263 per person) one adult aged 18 or over drives a snowmobile alone and needs a valid license. Prices were checked in October 2026 and can change by date.

I am travelling alone or in a group of three. What should I book?

Uneven groups have to book a single snowmobile add-on for one adult, because the double option cannot be booked for an odd number. The listing gives the example that if three adults choose the double option, two share a machine and the third sits in the sledge, so a solo traveller should book the single option.

Do I need a driver's license for this snowmobile safari?

Drivers do. The listing asks for a car or motorcycle driving license and zero blood alcohol for everyone who drives. Bring the original card. If you have no license, the listing says you can join as a scenic sled ride behind the guide’s snowmobile instead of driving.

Can children come on the snowmobile and campfire safari?

Yes. Children ride in a sled pulled by the guide’s snowmobile. Under-15s may sit on a snowmobile as passengers only if they are 140 cm or taller and booked at the adult price. The listing says the tour is not suitable for babies under one year, and it runs late in the evening.

What food is served at the campfire?

The listing includes snacks, grilled sausages that you roast over the open fire, and hot drinks; reviewers mention hot tea. Dinner is not included, so eat beforehand, as the tour starts in the evening (8:00 PM on the 2 November slot) and lasts about three hours.

Is the Northern Lights sighting guaranteed?

No. Auroras need dark, clear skies, and this safari keeps to the forests around Levi without chasing clear weather. The listing makes no refund promise for a night without auroras; you can cancel for free up to 24 hours before the start. Several reviewers saw the lights, others saw only stars or cloud.
