Another great tour with Soma Adventures The Northern Lights Experience was our third activity with Soma Adventures, and by now it feels impossible to imagine our Lapland visits without Heli being part of them. My husband and I first came to Levi in October 2025 and instantly fell in love with this beautiful little corner of the world. One of the biggest reasons we felt so compelled to return was Heli. She has such a warm, genuine presence, and she shares her love for Levi and Lapland in a way that is deeply heartfelt and unforgettable. On this visit, we did both the ice fishing and Northern Lights experiences, and they were both incredible. We had so much fun, and I was thrilled to even catch a couple of fish. But what stays with me most is how these experiences made me feel. Heli has a way of making you feel connected not just to the activity, but to the place itself. Through her, we experienced Lapland in a more personal and meaningful way, and it made me fall in love with Lapland even more. Lapland is truly my happy place, and Soma Adventures is a big part of why. Heli’s kindness, passion, and love for her home shine through in everything she does, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Highly recommend a tour with this family business!! My wife and I had a lovely time with Soma for a reindeer and snowshoe experience! Communications were excellent pre- trip. Wonderful hands on experience at a reindeer farm followed up by a snowshoe experience across a frozen lake and in the woods, finishing up with some homemade desserts by the fire at the family cottage on the lake. Truly unique activities with a welcoming guide that was a lot of fun. Highly recommend!!

Rentierfarm Soma Lompollo Diese Rehtierfarm der Sami ist authentisch. Heli hat uns exzellenten begleitet und alles ausführlich über das Leben der Rentiere erklärt. Später sind wir an eine Hütte am zugefrorenen See gefahren worden. Mit den Schneeschuhen ging es quer über den See in den tief verschneiten Wald und zurück über den See zur Hütte. Heil hatte eine Suppe mit selbstgebackenem Brot vorbereitet. Auch ein Nachtisch (Kuchen) wurde uns serviert. Heli ist so herzlich, es war ein wunderbarer Tag. Diese Aktion hatten wir über Kerstin von Jokimaja (Köngäs) gebucht. Jederzeit wieder. Absolut empfehlenswert.

Peace, Love, Snooze Our Reindeer and Snowshoeing experience with SOMA Adventures was truly a highlight of our Lapland adventures! From the moment we were picked up, Heli and Pikka gave us a warm welcome and shared stories on the scenic ride to the experience. The property is absolutely stunning and surrounded by untouched nature. The reindeer experience was genuine and intimate. They were gentle and exciting to feed, and we’ll never forget leading two male reindeer, Snooze and Blueberry. They sweetly rubbed their heads and antlers against us, creating such a special and heartwarming connection. We snowshoed across a frozen lake and into serene, peaceful woods while other visitors tried ice fishing nearby. The stillness of the woods and the vast white landscape made the entire experience feel magical and pure. After our outdoor adventure, we warmed up in the cozy “lodge” and enjoyed delicious vegan soup. As if the day couldn’t get any better, it ended with a surprise snowmobile sleigh ride across the lake! This experience was authentic, peaceful, and incredibly special. We highly recommend it to anyone visiting Lapland — it’s something you’ll carry with you long after you leave.

Best tour!! <3 High recommendation for authentic Lapland visitors This tour was a blast and we can strongly recommend it to anyone who’s interested in getting to know the wonderful authentic Lapland. Heli is super friendly and we learned so many interesting facts about reindeers and the local surroundings where she grew up herself. After visiting the reindeer farm (where you can feel that the reindeers are at home and not considered as a tourist attraction), we went to her place to warm up and drank some hot juice before going snow walking across the lake to a beautiful forest. Afterwards Heli prepared an amazing treat for us including selfmade cake, hot chocolate and a small BBQ, again at her place where everything is super cozy and we felt at home even though being abroad. Thank you so much Heli, we‘ll keep this day in our hearts <3 Sven & Franzi from Hamburg, Germany

Aurores boréales à Lompolo Laponie finlandaise Nous avons eu la chance de passer une semaine de vacances en Laponie Finlandaise à Levi. C’était extraordinaire et merveilleux. La cerise sur le gâteau était notre excursion pour les aurores boréales. C’était une expérience inoubliable et qui restera gravée à jamais dans nos têtes. Nous avons eu la chance d’avoir ce soir là un ciel dégagé et nous avons eu un feu d’artifice dans le ciel. En plus l’aventure a été magnifiée par nos jeunes guides et hôtes ( Pikka et Tuikkn ) qui nous en reçu chez elles dans leurs cabane en nous offrant à boire et à manger autour d’un feu de cheminée nous réchauffant ( -25 degrés ce soir là vous moins). Nous avons également eu toutes les explications nécessaires concernant les aurores boréales mais également sur la culture Sami. Une excursion à ne pas rater autour de Levi. À conseiller. Merci Pikka. Merci Tuikkn Ne changer pas et continuez à nous faire rêver 🙏👍

Die Tour mit Heli war unglaublich! Wir hatten das Glück, dass wir alleine mit Heli auf die Jagd von Polarlichtern gehen durften. Heli ist so eine herzliche, liebevolle Person und wir haben uns sofort gut mit ihr unterhalten und uns wohl gefühlt. Man merkt sofort das Sie ihren Job liebt. Es ist für Sie nicht nur ein Job sondern eine Leidenschaft. Ihre Kota und die Hütte am See sind sehr gemütlich eingerichtet und spiegeln vollkommen das Leben hier wieder. Selbst gebacken Kekse, Tee, Sekt und einer Wurst vom Feuer haben alles perfekt gemacht. Heli hat so viel Fachwissen und kennt sich super in ihrer Heimat aus. Es war rundum einer der besten Tage im Urlaub. Also wenn man eine Polarlichtertour, Rentiertour oder andere Sachen machen möchte, geht zu Heli. Sie hat auch Tipps für andere Aktivitäten und ist sehr gut vernetzt hier. Sie hilft wo sie kann. Wir empfehlen Heli weiter und werden wiederkommen. Sie hat ein sehr großes Herz und wünschen ihr für ihr Unternehmen nur das beste. ❤️

The Northen Lights Tour with Heli was such an amazing experience, everything was just perfect! Heli is such a lovely woman and you can tell that she loves what she's doing 🙂

Heli is very specialized with northern lights hunting! She knows exactly where to take us to hunt it even during our tour it was cloudy in Levi, so low chance to see it but she explained it to us and drove us north to somewhere the sky is clear. Therefore, we could see many shapes pf northern lights in various places. Furthermore, she also took us to her vacation house near the lake to experience the Finish barbecue in the camp fire and showed us about the local Finish lifestyle which is very Unique and hard to experience that. I also love how she welcome me and guide me around, I felt like hanging out with close friends rather than the tour guide. Plus she is a very great photographer 🤩 Definitely recommend to take this tour and I will come back.

Had spent a wonderful day with Heli the owner of Soma Adventures and Local. First on a husky and deer farm afterwards she had another great surprise for us and we enjoyed with 2 locals a typical 3 course meal over an open fire in a heated cabin the food was fantastic. Afterwards, she showed us the entire surroundings of Levi and told us a lot about the culture and current life there. Overall a really beautiful and private trip that we can recommend to everyone and would do again anytime, thank you very much dear Heli for your great support, you can feel that you are doing this with heart and soul 🫶🏻

Heli is a great guide! It was a very family atmosphere. She told us a lot about Lapland and we stayed in her family's forest cabin. She prepared us homemade bread and cookies that we could enjoy by the fire. She was the best guide we had during our stay. She took great pictures and we were lucky we could see the Northern Lights

Heli ist ein super Guide! Es war eine sehr familiäre Atmosphäre. Sie hat uns sehr viel über Lappland erzählt und wir waren in der Waldhütte ihrer Familie. Sie hat uns selbstgemachtes Brot und Kekse vorbereitet, die wir am Feuer genießen konnten. Sie war der beste Guide, den wir während unseres Aufenthaltes hatten. Sie hat tolle Fotos gemacht und wir hatten Glück, dass wir die Nordlichter sehen konnten.

Meet the reindeer

Our reindeer live freely in their natural surroundings in Lompolo, surrounded by the quiet wilderness of Lapland. This is not a tourist farm, but a peaceful home for our reindeer. We visit the area only with our own Soma guests as part of selected experiences. Here you can meet the reindeer in their own environment and learn about their life in the North.

Planning a holiday in Levi, Finnish Lapland? Browse our frequently asked questions to learn about the Northern Lights, winter temperatures, where to stay, getting around and authentic local experiences with Soma Adventures.

Levi is famous for the Northern Lights, husky safaris, reindeer and snowmobiling, and they’re all worth experiencing. But if you’re looking for something more authentic, spend a day with locals beyond the busiest tourist areas.

At Soma Adventures, you’ll visit a traditional reindeer farm, go snowshoeing through peaceful forests, try ice fishing on a frozen lake and enjoy homemade food by the fire. With small groups and genuine local hospitality, you’ll experience the quieter side of Finnish Lapland and create memories that go beyond the usual attractions.

Read more in our blog post: What should I do in Levi

Yes! Levi is one of the best places in Finnish Lapland to see the Northern Lights, with auroras visible on around 111 nights each year. However, sightings always depend on clear skies, solar activity and a little luck, so no one can guarantee you’ll see them.

At Soma Adventures, we only run our Northern Lights tours when conditions are promising. You’ll spend the evening at a private wilderness cabin away from light pollution, enjoying homemade snacks, local stories and a campfire while waiting for the aurora. If the forecast shows full cloud cover, we’ll cancel the tour and provide a full refund.

Levi village is the perfect base for your holiday, with restaurants, ski slopes, shops and activities all within easy reach. It’s the most convenient choice for visitors looking for accommodation in Levi.

To experience the authentic side of Finnish Lapland, we recommend spending a day exploring beyond the village. Our local guides, who were born and raised in the Levi area, take small groups to peaceful wilderness locations, a traditional reindeer farm and other authentic places that many visitors never discover.

Read more in our blog post: Where to stay in Levi

Winter temperatures in Levi usually range from -5°C to -20°C (23°F to -4°F), although during the coldest periods they can occasionally drop below -30°C (-22°F). Thanks to the dry Arctic climate and proper winter clothing, most visitors find the cold much more comfortable than they expected.

At Soma Adventures, we provide an extra thermal winter jacket to help keep you warm during your adventure. Whether you’re snowshoeing, visiting a traditional reindeer farm or searching for the Northern Lights, you can simply relax and enjoy the Arctic winter.

No. If you’re staying in Levi village, you can easily enjoy your holiday without a car. Restaurants, ski slopes, shops and many activities are within walking distance, and the Levi Ski Bus, taxis and guided transfers make getting around simple.

All Soma Adventures experiences include door-to-door transportation from your accommodation anywhere in the Levi area. You can relax and enjoy the journey while we take you to peaceful wilderness locations, traditional reindeer farm visits and other authentic Lapland experiences.
