Safari Guide – Winter Season 2026–2027, Saariselkä

Kuukkeli & Lapponia Tours are looking for Safari Guides for the winter season 2026–2027 in Saariselkä.

We are looking for energetic, service-minded guides to join our growing team in Saariselkä. This position is ideal for someone who enjoys working with people, loves the nature of Lapland, and wants to help create unforgettable experiences for our international guests.

The position is seasonal and runs from around the turn of November–December until the end of March 2027.

Your duties may include, among other things:

• guiding snowmobile safaris

• guiding Northern Lights tours

• guest transfers and pick-ups when needed

• preparing and maintaining equipment and assisting with the practical arrangements of excursions

The working days are varied and, as is typical in the tourism industry, shifts may also take place in the evenings and on weekends.

Additional language skills are considered an advantage.
