3 Night Romantic Aurora Adventure in Saariselkä

From £2545 per couple

What You'll Do

The ultimate escapist getaway for two, this adventurous, romantic destination is breathtaking in its isolation and beautiful surroundings. Blissful relaxation, adrenaline-pumping outdoor adventures and the world's greatest natural wonder make this an unforgettable trip.

Finally, four days that are focused entirely around you. You’ll both receive private use of the sauna and spa, enjoy a relaxing massage, and cut out any hassle with fully-included, private transfers. Dine on traditional Finnish cuisine, using ingredients fresh from the stunning countryside, by a roaring open fire in the perfectly silent, snow-dusted forest.

And, of course, unwind in your accommodation for two, a glass-roofed Aurora cabin, allowing you spectacular views of the night sky, scattered with stars, and of the otherworldly northern lights.

The daytime adventures include breathtaking arctic nature experiences and Lapland adventures; an exhilarating snowmobile safari and a reindeer sledge ride with a small group. The package also contains two special private activities specially designed for couples. On a private husky safari, you’ll get up close and personal with these beautiful dogs, before setting off on a journey through the wilderness using a method utilised by the native people of Lapland for millennia.

The second private activity is a dinner that goes beyond your average date night. We’ll take you on a journey up the beautiful, wide-open fells in a heated sleigh, then, a 3-course dinner – complete with sparkling wine – will be set for you by an open fire as you wait for the northern lights to appear.

The schedule is planned so that you will have plenty of time for yourselves. You could go to visit the Saariselkä Spa nearby, book other activities, enjoy Saariselkä nightlife or explore Lapland’s surrounding nature on your own. Or, simply relax in the aurora cabin – the time on your northern lights holiday in Finland is yours to enjoy and you can do whatever you and your partner wish.

After a day of arctic adventures, wrap up in a blanket under the Milky Way and the North Star, and watch as the tongues of flame that constitute the northern lights dance across the pure, clear skies.

A full example itinerary is detailed below, activity timings can differ slightly, your own personal schedule will be given to you upon check in.

There is currently no availability for December 2024. The same holiday is available in Pyha flying to Rovaniemi or in Levi flying to Kittilla – please click on the links here.

Experience Itinerary

Welcome to Wilderness

We’ll pick you up directly from Ivalo airport, and transfer you deep into the untouched, pristine Lappish wilderness.

We’ll show you to your home for the weekend, your cosy, warm cabin nestled in the Arctic forest and the snow-covered fir trees.

With any luck, on your very first night you’ll get to witness what you came for – the spectacular Northern Lights. Gaze in awe as the ethereal ribbons of light whisper their way through the atmosphere, then head back for your and watch them during your first evening in your luxurious, glass-topped cabin.

Activity timings may differ slightly, your confirmed schedule will be given to you upon check in.

Explore Lapland's Beauty - Then Unwind

The morning excursion for day two of your romantic trip to the far north will take you deep into the snowy fells and forests, as you saddle up for a 4-hour snowmobile ride.

Explore the true back-of-beyond, on an exhilarating journey through stunning natural beauty, and return feeling satisfied and wearied after a morning of activity.

The perfect remedy for any tired, cold bones? An aroma or hot stone massage to soothe any aches or pains, and melt into true relaxation in this tranquil, isolated part of the world.

The evening is yours to enjoy. Either explore the site after another hearty dinner by a crackling log fire, or cosy up under a blanket and stare through your glass roof at the perfectly black night sky, hoping to catch a glimpse of the flickering tongues of fire.

Activity timings may differ slightly, your confirmed schedule will be given to you upon check in.

Accommodation:

The Aurora Cabins are a magical way to experience the wintry star-filled sky and the Northern Lights, while lying comfortably in the warm bed. The laser-heated glass-roof opens up into the northern sky, directly above the bed.

Get Out into Nature

In the morning, set off on a couples husky safari, getting up close and personal to these beautiful, hugely energetic dogs, exploring the wilderness as the locals have done for countless generations before. Head out on a one hour safari, before you spend two hours on the reindeer express in the afternoon.

Meet the animals that are so central to the landscape, and so vital to the survival of the indigenous population, then hiss through the pine forest in a sleigh pulled by the gentle beasts.

Then, that evening, it’s a different kind of journey, as the two of you are taken deep into the wilderness, pulled by a snowmobile, to hunker down in a heated sleigh and take in the incredible spectacle of the Northern Lights, surrounded by nature.

Activity timings may differ slightly, your confirmed schedule will be given to you upon check in.

Accommodation:

Your package includes breakfast, lunch and dinner in their stylish restaurant.

We booked the 3 night, four day romantic package with an added activity to visit a Husky farm and it was truly spectacular. The temperatures were low but the cabins and restaurant are warm and they provide you with ski suits, gloves and boots for the activities. 10 minutes hot water in the shower is more than sufficient and the food was good with lots of home made soups, stews and vegetables which are perfect for the weather. All the staff were friendly and helpful with a particular mention to Ivo who took us walking with snowshoes and made us our romatic dinner in the woods. We were lucky enough to see the northern lights both nights but the experience was enhanced by his company and enthusiasm for his job. The same goes for Tyne (not sure if that is spelt right) who took us out on the snowmobiles. I would advise taking mittens instead of gloves as your hands stay warmer and if you book a sauna for private use, the use is private but the area isn't so don't be surprised if people wander in while you are in the hot tub.The best cabins are 1-20 as although they are slightly further from the restaurant (less than 5 minutes walk) they have a view of the forest and are completely private. The town is a 5-10 minute walk away for if you want to go to a local bar or supermarket and the alcohol prices are what you would expect in a hotel of this category. A bottle of cava was 26€.
