Overview

Hunt the northern lights from Rovaniemi with a local guide who chases clear skies instead of driving to a fixed viewpoint — backed by a 100% money-back guarantee if the aurora doesn't appear, plus free professional photos of you under the lights.

Each afternoon we read the cloud cover and solar forecast, then decide where to drive that night. Some nights the aurora is 20 minutes away; some nights we drive three hours to find a gap in the clouds. That is why our tours run 5–8 hours, not a fixed three.

Two ways to travel: Small Group (max 19) in a minibus with hotel pickup, or Group Bus Tour (max 47) by heated coach from central Rovaniemi.

Your guide photographs you under the aurora with professional gear and sends you the images free — no watermark, no upsell.

Dress warmly: winter clothing is not included (rental available in town). Hot drinks are served; no meal is included.

Family-run, from Rovaniemi. Our guides drive these roads all year and know where the clear skies sit.

What's Included

  • 100% money-back guarantee if we do not see the northern lights
  • Winter clothing (thermal overall, snow boots, mittens) - rental available in Rovaniemi city centre

The aurora chase itself. Your guide reads live cloud cover, solar activity and road conditions and drives toward the clearest sky — sometimes 20 minutes from Rovaniemi, sometimes far past the Arctic Circle. We stop at dark viewing spots away from city lights, serve hot drinks, and your guide photographs you under the northern lights with professional camera gear. The photos are sent to you free after the tour.
