Chase the Northern Lights from Rovaniemi with expert guides, flexible driving, hot drinks, professional photos, and a full refund if nothing appears.

“The chance of seeing the lights was not 100% as we were initially informed but just 20 minutes away from the city, we were able to see a spectacular show of the aurora. Our guides mentioned it was one of the brightest in a long time, thus we were indeed lucky. The boys also took photos with their camera and we had ours as well and they assisted us with adjusting the settings and everything. The only con was the delay in replying after the activity finished and the delay in sending us the photos, but finally when they responded, they were very cooperative. I would definitely recommend this experience!”

Review of Rovaniemi’s small-group Northern Lights photography tour, with warm gear, aurora chasing, campfire snacks, photos, and practical booking advice.

“Spontaneously booked this night tour on the morning due to the guide being so great. Started at 8pm meeting point where rucksack was given with hot drinks, head torches & other essentials for the evening. Clothing was given to those who needed it as it’s a cold evening ahead. Then it’s a drive out to first viewing point. Juhani was great at telling us how to set out camera settings correctly to get best photos & also explained exactly what the Auroras are and conditions needed to see them. We travelled on to next location a frozen lake where we set up and was very fortunate enough to see the…”

“Pekka and his partner were the nicest people! Our chances of seeing the aurora was minimal in two of the days we rescheduled but they kept me updated till the last moment and said “Ok tonight we ll see them!”. They picked us up from our accommodation and drove to this beautiful frozen lake, around 30 km from Rovaniemi. They werent in a rush, we had a wonderful barbecue, we talked about northern lights and living in such a different environment. We had a little open hut where they did a fire and we had amazing food and drinks. Plenty of time for pictures and just admiring the beautiful aurora.…”

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 116 reviews · 3 hours · from $135

Chase the northern lights from Saariselkä by car, with hotel transfers, hot drinks, gingerbread, photography tips, and tour photos.

“La guida molto gentile, però credo che bisognerebbe annullare l’attività se si sa (palesemente) che l’aurora non si potrà vedere. Non solo l’aurora aveva bassa percentuale, ma davano anche 100% copertura nuvolosa sia dove eravamo che nelle zone intorno. Anche la guida ce lo ha detto in macchina, quindi mi chiedo perché fare questo cinema se tanto si sa che non si potrà vedere. Si fa più bella figura a ridare indietro i soldi se non ci sono condizioni metereologiche adatte. Questa l’unica nota a sfavore, ci siamo sentiti un po’ presi in giro sinceramente.”
