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.

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.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 1,328 reviews · from $237

Drive your own husky sled through snowy Lapland, meet friendly dogs, and warm up with berry drink on a two-hour Apukka adventure.

“It was the most magical experience I've ever had. The family that owns the husky farm was very welcoming and professional. They introduced themselves and their dogs to us in detail throughout the entire event, and they were constantly keeping an eye on us to ensure the safety of the dogs and us. Their guidance was very reassuring. The dogs were very well-groomed and happy. The hot berry-juice they served in the tent after sledding was very good. There is no need to worry about the cold, the overalls distributed before the event are very sufficient. apukka resort is a very beautiful place and the whole team is very friendly.…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 940 reviews · 4.5 hours · from $281

Rovaniemi’s half-day Arctic combo pairs husky and reindeer sleigh rides with a one-hour snowmobile safari.

“There was 4 of us that booked all 3 activities with the option of private pick up, 2 people in our group were elderly. Pick up worked well for us as we stayed just outside city centre. The 2 tour guides were excellent, chatting & putting us at ease. Making sure our experience felt special & informed us of what to expect throughout the morning. No matter what price you pay, if the staff are helpful it goes along way, so we really appreciated that, thanks boys. The activities were long enough for us, got to experience everything hassle free.”

“This was one of the best experiences I've ever had! We were a very small group which made it very personal and our tour guide Anabella was extremely friendly and helpful. The reindeer farmer Jarrko was also very friendly and knowledgeable! He gave us an extra reindeer sleigh round as the weather was good, told us all about Sami people and their culture as well as how he hunts in the wild! We were given cookies and berry juice at a cozy lodge in the middle of a snowy forest and were allowed to hold and touch real reindeer antlers! We very much recommend doing this activity with this company!Read…”
