Rovaniemi: Small-Group Northern Lights Wilderness Tour

1.Small-Group Northern Lights Wilderness Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 1,515 reviews · 4 hours · from $136Our pick

Review of Rovaniemi’s small-group Northern Lights tour, with campfire cooking, up to three viewing spots, warm gear, and free photos.

“Emilie was a fantastic guide. The small group of seven (including Emilie) made the experience even more enjoyable. From the start, she was transparent and provided clear explanations. She also kept checking for the best locations to see the Aurora. Our first stop, about 20 minutes north, offered a faint but magical glimpse of the lights. Then, after checking for better conditions, Emilie drove us about 40 minutes south, where we were rewarded with an even more spectacular view. She captured beautiful photos of us, and the evening ended perfectly with a cozy campfire. Merci, Emilie!! ☺️”
