Is the Northern Lights sighting guaranteed?

No. Aurora activity is a natural phenomenon dependent on solar activity, cloud cover, and atmospheric conditions. Guides use local expertise and real-time forecasts to select the best location each night to maximise your chances, but sightings cannot be guaranteed.

What's included in the EUR 99 price?

The tour includes transportation from your pick-up point, professional photographer services, a grilled Lappish sausage dinner, and warm berry juice served by open fire. Professional photos taken during the event are also included.

How cold is it, and what should I wear?

Rovaniemi in autumn reaches temperatures well below freezing. Wear thermal base layers, insulated jacket, winter trousers, hat, gloves, and insulated boots. Layering is essential since you'll be outdoors for several hours awaiting the lights.

When exactly will I be picked up?

Pick-up times vary depending on your hotel or location in Rovaniemi. You will receive an email confirmation with your specific pick-up time immediately after booking—check it carefully and allow flexibility for slight variations.

Can I get the professional photos taken during the tour?

Yes, the photographer will document you with the Northern Lights. Confirm the photo format, delivery method, and usage rights with your guide before the tour begins, as specific delivery details may vary.

What if the lights don't appear during my tour?

While guides select high-probability locations, weather and aurora activity are unpredictable. Check your operator's policy on rescheduling or refunds for tours with no sightings when booking; this information is typically included in your confirmation.

About this activity

Chase the Northern Lights in Rovaniemi's Arctic wilderness with a professional photographer documenting your encounter. This 3-hour expedition takes you far from city light pollution to prime viewing spots, where you'll wait under the stars with warmth, local food, and expert guidance—maximising your chances of witnessing the aurora borealis.

Increase your chances of witnessing the Northern Lights – and let our photographer capture that unforgettable moment with you and the auroras.

Far from the city lights and deep into the Arctic Circle, we take you to one of our selected lookout spots known for great viewing conditions. Once on site, our photographer assesses the sky, sets up the tripod, and stays ready to catch the perfect moment — creating a lasting memory of you under the northern sky.

While we wait for the lights to appear, enjoy grilled Lappish sausage by the open fire, served with warm berry juice – a cozy, authentic Lapland experience.

The Northern Lights can be unpredictable, but our guides use their local experience and real-time conditions to choose the best possible location each night, giving you a strong chance to witness and capture this natural wonder.

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

our guide Pedro really knew their stuff and the bit at the end nobody expects was the highlight. Did it on our first morning so it wasnt too busy. Miles ahead of a similar tour we tried in phuket, and 6 stops in about 3 hours. Would book again no question.
