Arctic GM Experiences OY - Rovaniemi

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 😊

We did 3 tours with Arctic GM and we must say the ground crew was amazing!

Aurore was the perfect guide for our tranquil hike through Vikaköngäs, sharing fascinating stories and tips as if uncovering cherished secrets. Julia went out of her way to ensure we got to experience the Northern lights in all its glory even if it meant we had to drive to Sweden and her enthusiasm was infectious. Walter’s photography captured the majesty of the Korouoma frozen waterfall, filling our phones with memories we can relive forever.

The only blight was that the company unilaterally cancelled our Riistunturi trip without providing exact reasons and offered to place us on the morning after our northern light tour as if we were Superman 🤣 Eventually due to availability we had to change our itinerary and suffered some small losses from exchange fees but I suppose that is covered by their T&C like most providers. In (an unfair) comparison, Airbnb refunds covered currency conversion fee as well as the base fee even when the customer was the one who triggers the change request. The partial refund was also as slow as contractually legal even though they are the triggering party and the communication regarding it was spotty as we had to keep chasing them for details and progress.

Overall, the on the ground experience was amazing. The vehicles were stable and in good conditions compared to some others we saw on the road. The overalls provided kept us cosy and comfy in the frigid cold! The supporting team / company policy has some room for improvement but overall it’s still acceptable. If I could rate different components separately, this wouldn’t have been a 5 star review but the guides were too good to be weighed down by the supporting cast, and hey, things happen, and we still had a magical time. 🤩

First, we took part in the Snowmobile Safari Winter Tour, which we really enjoyed. We were provided with warm clothing, boots, and gloves, and riding a snowmobile on a frozen river was a unique experience. Our guide was friendly and even took photos of everyone. It was a great way to spend the morning.

In the evening, we joined the Northern Lights Tour. Our guide, Denys, shared a lot of interesting information about the Northern Lights. Luckily, not far from the city, he suddenly pulled over in a parking lot and jumped out of the van—because the aurora had appeared! We happened to stop next to a lake, so we quickly walked onto the frozen surface, where our guide took many photos of each of us for over an hour. Later, we moved to another location and got to enjoy the Northern Lights for another 30 minutes, even though our chances didn’t seem great when we first set out.

It’s definitely worth choosing a long-distance Northern Lights tour like this, as it gives you the best chance of seeing the aurora. We also tried a cheaper tour on another night that stayed at a fixed location, but it wasn’t worth it. If you want the best experience, go with this company and service! Next time we visit, we will book with them again right away.

Also, the equipment, minibus, and snowmobiles were all new, modern, and clean. 😊

We had a wonderful day on the Korouoma Canyon & frozen waterfalls trip! Our guide Robin was fantastic - he was friendly, knowledgeable and had ice cleats for us all. I saw another group also with Arctic GM that didn't have ice cleats (which were very much needed), I don't know whether the guide didn't have them or the group declined?

The walk, although slippy in places, was manageable even for my Mum in her 70's (but you need to be pretty fit). We had plenty of time at the canyon and at each waterfall and could also stop along the way to take photos. The BBQ was lovely and they catered for vegetarians. The scenery was beautiful, we thoroughly recommend this trip and guide Robin.

We had an amazing time with Julia—she was such an awesome guide and you could tell she’s super passionate about the aurora.
We’re so grateful to her for helping us tick off a major bucket list item! She took us to several different spots so we could see the northern lights in all their beauty and intensity, and it really paid off.
Everyone was blown away, and my son even said it was his favorite night in Rovaniemi.
Big thanks to the whole Arctic GM team for making it such a special and unforgettable experience!

We had an incredible experience with Arctic GM Experiences!
During the Northern Lights hunt, the team followed a very professional process — monitoring the right applications and choosing the best spots at the perfect times. Thanks to their expertise, we managed to capture truly stunning photos of the aurora!
Our ice fishing experience was also unforgettable. The guide was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and made sure we had the best chance to catch fish while enjoying the frozen lake adventure.
Highly recommend Arctic GM Experiences for anyone looking for authentic and well-organized Arctic activities!

Amazing Arctic Experience with Arctic GM!

I had an unforgettable experience with Arctic GM! Everything was well-organized, and the team was super friendly and professional.

The Northern Lights tour was magical—we went to a perfect spot away from the city, and the guides helped us capture great photos. Seeing the lights dance in the sky was absolutely breathtaking!

The snowmobile ride was thrilling, taking us through stunning snowy landscapes. The guides made sure we felt safe and comfortable before we started.

The husky safari was another highlight. The dogs were full of energy and so well taken care of. Riding through the Arctic wilderness with them was an incredible experience!

After all the adventures, we enjoyed a delicious barbecue in a cozy cabin. Sitting by the fire with great food and good company was the perfect way to end the day.

Arctic GM truly goes above and beyond to create an amazing Arctic experience. If you’re visiting the Arctic and want to see the Northern Lights, ride snowmobiles, meet huskies, and enjoy a great meal, I highly recommend them!
