Overview

Take your best chance to see the Northern lights from Rovaniemi in small groups! With your personal guide, you will explore the nature of Lapland and hunt the magic of the Aurora Borealis. Professional camera and pictures are included in this tour. On all our excursions, our groups are limited to 8 people maximum. It is very important for us to provide you with the best experience possible, and avoid mass tourism. This way, your guide will know you better and will be able to address all your needs and answer your questions. Furthermore, when it comes to the Northern Lights, chances to observe them properly are increased when groups (and light pollution emitted by torches, phones, cameras, etc.) are reduced. As we usually say - the smaller the group, the bigger the experience!

Meeting points

If you're staying in Rovaniemi city center, please walk to our office at Rovakatu 24 as we no longer provide city pick-ups, supporting sustainable tourism. Staying outside the city center? Send us an email at least 48 hours before the tour and we'll arrange free pick-up within a 10-kilometre radius!

End point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

Itinerary

After being picked up and properly dressed with professional winter clothing and boots (if needed), your Aurora expert guide will drive you away from Rovaniemi, straight out to the wilderness. Based on the weather forecasts, the solar activity and our experience, we will select some locations that are more promising to see the Northern Lights. Your guide will also always check the weather conditions, and you may decide to try another location if you are willing to. As this excursion is a 4-hour tour, you may get the chance to visit up to 3 locations. This tour will offer you the opportunity to head into the Lapland wilderness and explore the arctic nature, hopefully with Northern Lights dancing over your heads! Your guide will share with you their knowledge about the forest, nature and wildlife, and the northern lights phenomenon. They will also teach you how to build a fire in the traditional way, using elements from your surroundings, and will serve you some hot beverages and Finnish snacks to warm you up. They will also be equipped with a professional camera and take many pictures of you and the Northern Lights (a link to download them will be sent to you the next day).

Small group tour with passionate guide

Published on Feb, 2025

The guide was very passionate about the Aurora and he took very good pictures of the individuals in the group. Photos were emailed to us. We laid on reindeer skins on the snow watching the Aurora. Perfect!

Great small setting guide

Published on Jan, 2025

My family and I had a great experience. Our guide Amy a great guide. We were very fortunate to see the northern lights but wouldn’t have seen them if not for her expertise on where to go as the forecast was calling for cloud coverage.

Everything was very well...

Northern Light Chase with a Great Guide

Published on Dec, 2024

It was a lovely night outing chasing the northern lights with Michal as our guide. He is a knowledgeable guide explaining how and where we are going to look for the lights. Throughout the expedition he keeps us updated and always on the lookout for the best spots to enjoy the amazing light display and photo shoots for memories. We enjoyed the campfire, birch wood fire grilled sausages with pita bread and mustard, hot coffee and cocoa. The experience is simply amazing as the lights.
