Chase the Northern Lights from Rovaniemi in a small 4x4 group, with expert guides, DSLR photos, warm gear, and flexible mileage.

“It was our wedding anniversary night and we can’t thank enough to the tour organizers for this unforgettable experience. We got picked up by our guide, Julia, on time and from our hotel. We were traveling to our destination place but in between Julia fell really sick and she had to be later transported in an ambulance. (Hope she is doing better now). After about 1 hour halt, we were joined by another guide, Daria, and we continued our tour. We stopped at Sodankyla near a frozen lake where a giant, dancing Araura was waiting for us. Daria took several pictures of us and we stayed there for about an…”

2.Northern Lights Rovaniemi: Guaranteed Viewing & Unlimited Mileage

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,321 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $228Top rated

Review of Rovaniemi’s small-group Northern Lights hunt, with unlimited mileage, winter gear, hotel pickup, guide-led photo stops, and weather risks.

“I had the same experience as another persons review on here. I took a 12 hour train ride to find them cancel on me as soon as I got there. They can’t control the weather conditions but they should not be providing a “guaranty” you will see the lights. That guaranty was the only reason why I paid the premium over other companies who are more cautious and do not over promise. Don’t go to Lapland expecting to see the lights unless you can dedicate a week. 2 weeks later they still haven’t refunded my money so I have to take up the dispute with my credit card.”

Do this journey in only 6 people was good too, turned to be more private. Tomas, our guide, put a lot of effort on founding it.”

Review of Rovaniemi’s long-range aurora hunt, with flexible driving, professional photos, hot drinks, and a refund promise if no lights appear.

“This was an unforgettable experience and a true dream come true. We traveled in a small group of 9 people in a comfortable, warm minibus. On the way to the first location, we already stopped to see the Northern Lights and take our first photos. The highlight was the second spot by a lake, where there was no light pollution from cars or the road. We arrived right at the peak of the aurora, when it was incredibly intense and bright. Because the group was small, we had plenty of time to take as many photos as we wanted using a professional camera, which made the experience even more special.”

“There was 100% cloud in Roviemi when we started, but we drove about 2 hours north west and the Aurora was beautiful. The guides found the best spot with no cloud coverage and a gorgeous 360 degree view. They then took professional pictures of everone with the Aurora in the background, set up a campfire, and handed out warm beverages and light snacks while we enjoyed the atomphere. All in all, we left their office at 1930, arrived at the viewing area around 2200, watched and enjoyed the scenery until 0000 and was dropped off near our hotels around 0200. Amazing experience! I doubted the likelihood of us seeing the…”

“Well in short it was an amazing experience with or without the Northern lights. We got packed in warm clothes from the company so that we survive the cold. Then we went to the location by the river with a full moon but covered with cloud above us. there were bonfires so we had hot berry juice, cookies and bbq marshmallows. The day had a very strong activity for the light show but then the sky was covered with snow. The company waited for the sky to clear more than the assigned time of the trip. More than half of the group left after few hours because of the cold.…”
