What To Expect
Embark with us on a true Northern Lights hunt in small groups, so we can be in the right place at the right time.
We will inform you on the same day about the pick-up time, since it is impossible to predict in advance the exact hour when the auroras will be best visible or how far we may need to drive to get out of the clouds if the Rovaniemi area is overcast.
Once we pick you up at your accommodation, we will set off in search of the best spot to see them. We don’t have a fixed location, as every night we may need to drive to a different place and sometimes for several hours, depending on the weather. Once we find the perfect spot to witness the show, our guide/photographer will take the best photos of you with the Northern Lights, so you can take home this beautiful memory.
While waiting, we will serve you hot drinks and pastries to warm up, and we’ll also teach you how to read the apps so you can fully understand how aurora hunting works and become an expert yourself.
And if you bring your own camera, our photographer will show you how to take the best shots so you can have your own personal keepsake.
Additional Info
- Confirmation is instant and will be received at time of booking
- Activity not recommended for kids under 7 years old
