“It was an amazing night and we saw the lights the whole night! Our tour guide Jeremy was great and flexible, pivoting quickly to find spots to view the lights, everywhere! He was also super friendly and accommodating to my kids even though the tour we chose is not the “family friendly version” one, since we wanted to focus on being able to view the lights! He specially prepared a toy companion for them, marshmallows for them for the campfire, and even going above and beyond and sending us all the way back to our resort! Great experience and highly recommend!”

Chase the Northern Lights from Rovaniemi with a small group, remote viewpoints, fire-cooked Finnish snacks, warm gear, and guide photos.

“The guide and tour size was perfect. The onky draw back is we didn't see northern lights. When we left the area we were in there was another group there would have liked to stay longer to see if we could see lights. Some tours say guaranteed sighting so not sure if I'd book a longer tour next time to ensure sighting. The tour guide was lovely and accommodating and if I had seeing the lights I would give the tour 100%.”

In addition to an organized drive through the forest etc. we were given two occasions to "freestyle" on a large open space! Also you can switch drivers in the middle. We had reindeer stew as lunch and it was delicious! Nice break to rest a bit and warm up before completing rest of the journey. It was one of our favorite experiences in our trip to Rovaniemi!”

The experience was thrilling but also peaceful, with plenty of moments to stop, take in the scenery, and snap some photos. The equipment was top-notch and well maintained. Highly recommend this tour if you’re looking to explore the true beauty of Lapland away from the crowds. An unforgettable Arctic experience!”
