Programme
Three-night Aurora Adventure Break at Wilderness Hotel Muotka. On this holiday we maximize your chances of seeing the northern lights.
Day 1. Arrival Day
Arrival to Ivalo Airport and transfer by bus to Wilderness Hotel Muotka. Upon arrival you'll enjoy a welcoming dinner and settle into your accommodation.
Days 1.-3. Winter Activities
Reindeer Day with Snowmobile
We will drive with snowmobiles to a reindeer farm, where you will meet the reindeer herders and learn about the importance of reindeer in Lapland. You will learn how to lasso a reindeer and have a short ride in a sleigh pulled by the reindeer. We will also enjoy soup lunch during the day.
Husky Safari
An absolute ‘must do’ when visiting Lapland! The dogs’ excitement is infectious and as the animals fall silent on the trail, you will realize that this is the only way to see Lapland. All our husky safaris include full instructions and are based on two people sharing a sled unless otherwise stated.
Aurora Camp
This activity takes you to the amazing surroundings of Muotka. You will be comfortably seated in a sledge that is pulled by the guide’s snowmobile. This way you can enjoy the northern sky all the way to the camp site. At the camp there is a hut with an open fire to warm us up on a cold night of Aurora hunting. Your guide will also serve warm drinks to keep you heated and cozy. The camp has a minimum amount of light pollution, so it is perfect for viewing the Northern Lights that will hopefully show up in the sky.
Aurora Snowshoeing
Experience the surrounding nature and Aurora Borealis on foot! Snowshoeing in the woods at night has it’s own excitement. You will wander in the amazing taiga forests surrounding Muotka until finally reaching the camp spot. At the camp we enjoy some warm drinks and gaze at the sky in the hopes of a possible Northern Lights show.
Day 4. Departure Day
After breakfast you're transferred to Ivalo Airport. It’s time to say goodbye to Muotka Wilderness Hotel and head towards new adventures.
