Chasing the lights...
Our classic small-group Northern Lights tour from Rovaniemi. Your local guide checks the forecast and drives to the darkest, clearest skies near the city, with a campfire and photo help along the way.
This is our most popular way to see the Northern Lights from Rovaniemi — an affordable, small-group hunt led by a local guide who knows exactly where the skies stay clear. Each evening we check the aurora forecast and cloud cover, then drive out of the city lights to the best nearby viewing spot.
You travel in a small group of no more than eight, with hotel pickup and return included. While you wait for the lights, your guide builds a campfire — and helps you capture the aurora on your own camera or phone. If the lights don’t appear on your night, we rebook you free of charge.
It’s the easiest, friendliest and best-value way to tick the Northern Lights off your Lapland bucket list.

Brilliant value at €89. I didn't expect a budget-friendly tour to include full thermal gear, a campfire and proper photo help — but it did. Saw a lovely green arch that danced for 40 minutes.
Perfect first aurora tour. Small group, hotel pickup, and the guide drove us away from the city lights to a frozen lake. The classic hunt is all you really need.
Great evening out. The aurora was faint at first but our guide was patient and it built into a proper display. Hot berry juice by the fire was a lovely touch for the price.
