Overview

Experience the Northern Lights from Rovaniemi with a small, flexible group, comfortable vehicle with forward-facing seats, and pick-up and drop-off at your hotel or accommodation.

100% Money-Back Guarantee: With our Guaranteed Aurora option, if you do not see the Northern Lights, we refund 100% of your tour price.

We check weather, cloud cover, Aurora activity, and road conditions each evening to plan the route. We can change locations rather than follow a fixed itinerary.

Enjoy professional Aurora photography exclusively for your small group, with no long waiting. Your photos will be provided digitally within 24 hours.

Aurora Sighting: The Aurora is considered seen when visible to the naked eye or captured by our camera.

The Aurora is a natural phenomenon, but our 100% Money-Back Guarantee gives you confidence when booking.
