Rovaniemi: Aurora Hunt - Free Photos, 100% Guaranteed Refund - What the evening looks like from Rovaniemi

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 610 reviews · 5 - 8 hours · from $104Our pick

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.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 325 reviews · 3 hours · from $163

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…”

He really made sure we were comfortable throughout the whole experience and even took wonderful photos of us. We were especially impressed that he sent all the photos on the same day — such a lovely touch! It was truly an unforgettable experience for us. A big thank you to Matias and all the farm staff for making it so special. We’ll cherish these memories for a long time!”

“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 🙏🏼”

“Pekka and Amanda are both lovely people, very kind and professional. They worked so hard all night to give me and my adult daughter the best experience and it was one of our best experiences in Rovaniemi. They knew where to go to see the aurora and the photos were brilliant. They gave us lots to drink and eat and kept us warm the whole time. The pick up and drop off from our accommodation was also very punctual. The aurora was one of the best we have seen and it was the first place they took us to. We have done 4 tours in Rovaniemi and I recommend Sunsuni…”

★★★★★★★★★★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…”

Hiking in Riisitunturi National Park with Photographer

13.Hiking in Riisitunturi National Park with Photographer

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 114 reviews · 8 hours · from $222

Hike snowy Riisitunturi National Park from Rovaniemi with a photographer, campfire lunch, edited photos, and an intimate group of eight.

“The entire tour was wonderful to put it simply. Our guide, Valeriia, was super insightful, helpful and just an amazing person to have as our guide! Regarding the hike itself, it was extremely easy and had spectacular views at every corner. Though it was slightly cold, the views made it absolutely worth it. The food provided was also substantial, and there are very well composed photos that Valeriia sends to everyone after the tour. 10/10 Would recommend to anyone looking for the perfect Riisitunturi Hike in winter. Other tours are larger and either don't give you enough time and food to explore the park, or are too large in size…”

“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…”
