We had 2 tours with Arctic GM. Did a husky cart ride (pity there wasn't snow for the sled) at Rovaniemi on 4 Nov. Our guide Liam was such a great guy! Smooth ride to and fro, thank you! We also did the northern lights tour at Levi on 6 Nov 2025! Didnt went too far before we saw the lights! Kudos to Nazariy for finding the perfect spot. Not forgetting Alex, whom have done a great job in communication before the trip and we appreciate that a lot. Looking forward the next trip in Lapland with you guys again.

Had the pleasure of taking Rovaniemi Korouoma Canyon Hike and BBQ experience today with our guide Nil who was friendly and knowledgeable. Everything was fantastic seeing some wonderful sights and take away me falling over (my fault wrong footwear) the whole day was amazing experience

We are fortunate to have had taken the Arctic GM team for a truly memorable experience. The entire trip was very well coordinated with the Team sharing a detailed guide even before we had reached Rovaniemi, our start point. Our guide Elena was right on time, to start the trip but only after she ensured that we were all briefed and ready for our excursion. The vehicle was nice and comfortable as were travelled to the selected spot. All this while the Operations Team was in constant touch, providing with real time information to Elena. We reached the viewing spot after about an hour’s drive, and were lucky with the weather that we saw a fabulous display of the northern lights for well over two hours. We had plenty of time to see the lights intensify and change colours under a perfectly clear sky. The best feature of the trip was our guide, Elena, who was not only knowledgeable but looked after the smallest detail to ensure that the entire group was comfortable. And the hot drink and muffin were very satisfying! We left Rovaniemi with wonderful memories of having seen the northern lights in all their glory. A big thanks to Elena, and the entire Arctic GM Team. Thank you guys!!

One of the best experiences that I’ve ever had! We booked a private unlimited mileage northern lights tour. We stay at Rovaniemi but the past few days the weather was cloudy, so David, our guide, drove us to Sweden to find clear sky. We started our tour at 6 pm and ended around half past three in the morning! On the way to find the clear sky, we found some aurora’s activities and we made a few stops, the results are AMAZING! The wind was quite fast and it feels like we were constantly fighting with the clouds. At last we arrived to a location where the sky was clear and we got to see beautiful aurora. On the way back, from the car window, I realized that there’s an aurora activity on my right side and David decided to took a quick stop to see, and it turned to be a quite long stop since the the northern lights were dancing! I even got the chance to record some time lapses on my phone and the result were amazing! A few tears were shed because it was truly majestic and I thank Arctic GM for this experience. They are very accommodating, friendly, and fast respond. Some of the pictures and video I provided were taken with a phone camera.

I chose to see Northern lights in Finland through Arctic GM in the month of March and I think it turned out to be one of the best decisions I made for my trip. The entire experience was wonderful. Photos are an integral part of being able to watch northern lights and they made sure that they preserve your memories safely. The best part about them was they inform in advance regarding the chances of viewing northern lights for the night and give us a fair chance to decide if we want to continue for the trip or not. Our guide was Alexis and he did a fabulous job. Our guide said we can get as many pictures clicked as we want and he really clicked some beautiful ones. We had one of the most beautiful night of our life. Thank you Arctic GM 😊
