About this activity

Chase the Northern Lights from Rovaniemi in this 3-hour guided expedition deep into the Arctic Circle, far from light pollution. Your guide uses daily weather and aurora forecasts to position you at prime viewing spots, with traditional Lappish grilled sausage and warm berry juice by the fire while you wait.

Step into the heart of Lapland’s wilderness and join us on an unforgettable journey in search of the Northern Lights.

Far from city lights and deep within the Arctic Circle, our guided tours take you to carefully selected locations where conditions are often ideal for aurora sightings. As the sky opens above you, there’s a chance to witness the mysterious glow dancing across the Arctic night.

While we wait by the fire, you’ll enjoy traditional Lappish sausage grilled over open flames, served with warm berry juice – a true taste of the North.

Though the Northern Lights can never be guaranteed, our knowledgeable guides monitor weather and aurora forecasts daily to choose the best possible spot for each night’s adventure. With local insight and experience, we do everything we can to help you catch a glimpse of this natural wonder.

Note: The pick-up time may little bit different depending on your pick-up location, so please kindly check the email we send to you after reservations for the exact pick-up information.
