Hunt Finland’s Northern Lights from Saariselkä by minivan, with expert guides, warm drinks, snacks, and professional Aurora photography.

“Something like this, where it’s luck dependant, will obviously heavily affect how you rate this your. Luckily for my booking (which I booked 2hrs before start time) we saw northern lights at all of our stops. They were absolutely beautiful, the tour was well organised - we have a lovely hot juice (maybe lingonberry?) and the frozen lake was 100% the best part. It was -20C so I cannot stress how important it is to wrap up warm, especially hands and feet! We spent quite a while at each spot to allow us to get lots of content! Our guide was brilliant and took loads of photos of each of…”

“Natasha was the greatest tour guide I have ever had on any tour. I have never met someone as friendly or as passionate and truly made it one the best experiences. We were able to see the northern lights what which was magical but even if we didn’t just hearing stories and history from Natasha would have been worth every penny and second. Just for the curious no matter how cold you think it is going to be it will be colder. Stop reading book now and if you get Natasha count your blessings 🙏🏼”

6.Aurora Photo Tour by Car with Transfer & Drinks

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

Chase Finland’s northern lights from Saariselkä by car, with hotel transfers, warm drinks, gingerbread, photography tips, and tour photos.

“Unfortunately, the tour was disappointing. We did see the aurora; however, the driver didn’t show much enthusiasm, only driving for a while and stopping in a lay-by next to the road. There was some aurora activity, but the high tension cables above spoiled the occasion (as they would interfere with the view and -of course- with the pictures). The driver commented that “we don’t need to go elsewhere: we’ll see the same lights” (i’m paraphrasing, but that was the message). We knew that, but a search for a picturesque scenario (eg, the frozen lake Ukonjarvi ) would have made for a much better experience than stopping at the side of…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 108 reviews · from $165

Hunt the Northern Lights around Levi with a small photography group, local guides, hot drinks, camera help, and edited photos included.

“We, all three of us had a wonderful time. Heidi our guide was fantastic. She took us to lots of places to see the Aurora, being unsuccessful only on the first stop. All our stops after that after driving a considerable distance away from Levi were absolutely incredible. The photography side was brilliant, her knowing the techniques required to make absolutely stunning images of us surrounded by the Aurora. The warm juice, cookies and marshmallows provided were a welcome treat. She also went the extra mile in helping us lay the ashes of our dear departed Jon., whose spirit will forever be below this incredible natural phenomena. This trip was…”

“Amazing tour. We previously did two with other companies and there were terrible. This tour offers so much more than just the lights which is great if they don't arrive lucky for us they did. You get to hear tales and quirky stories about Finland and the history behind the lights, you also get yummy camp fire food and get in sit in the warm by the fire.”

He also introduced us to the magical sound of a frozen lake “singing”—an indescribable experience we never knew existed. Thank you, Finn, for being such an inspiring guide. Keep doing the amazing work you’re doing!”
