About this activity

Hunt the Northern Lights on your own terms with a private guide and professional camera in Rovaniemi. This customisable 4-hour experience lets you choose locations, pace, and activities while your expert guide captures stunning aurora photos and teaches you the science behind this Arctic phenomenon.

Enjoy a private Northern Lights tour arranged only for you, your family, friends and loved ones! With your personal Northern Lights expert guide, you will chase the Northern Lights and try to take great pictures of them with a professional camera. Our private Northern Lights tours are tailor-made to best suit your needs and let you experience an unforgettable night!

The guide captures amazing photos of you and the Northern Lights and sends them the next day. They also share insights about the Northern Lights and provide a detailed explanation of this incredible natural phenomenon. If desired, learn how to build a fire using traditional methods while enjoying typical Finnish snacks as you wait for the Northern Lights to light up the sky.

Why choose a private tour instead of our standard Northern Lights Wilderness Tour?

  • The tour can be run the way you want it. Do you prefer driving to easily accessible locations? Or driving as far as possible? Or visiting specific places? Or do you just want to enjoy a great viewpoint around an open fire? The choice is yours as it is your tour!
  • Enjoy the full intimacy with your loved ones while hunting the Northern Lights - no one else will be there to disturb you!
  • You will be accompanied by a private Northern Lights guide who will give you all of their attention and do their best to address any of your requests!
  • You enjoy a discount of up to 180 euros compared to the full price of the Northern Lights Wilderness Tour (8 guests).
