The 15 Best Northern Lights Tours in Finland

85 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.5 average  ·  from $81

Nobody sells you the aurora; they sell you the drive away from the streetlights and the willingness to stay out. These 15 differ on how far they go, how many people are in the van and whether the guide will chase a gap in the cloud at midnight. Prices, hours and the sighting promises are all here.

“This was a well-organised and straightforward northern lights chase. The communication was clear from pickup until the end of the trip, which made everything very smooth and comfortable. I’m so happy that I got to witness the northern lights with my naked eyes for the second time. Our guide genuinely put in great effort to find the best conditions for us to see the aurora, and I truly appreciate his dedication.”

Review of Rovaniemi’s Northern Lights tour, with unlimited mileage, winter gear, hotel pickup, small groups, guide quality, and honest value advice.

“An unforgettable experience and highly recommended. Our guide, Beata, was exceptional. Even with cloudy skies in Rovaniemi and very little hope of seeing the Aurora, she drove nearly 3 hours to a remote, quiet spot in Sweden and timed it perfectly. We arrived just as the Northern Lights appeared and watched them grow stronger over the next 45 magical minutes. Beata was incredibly patient, helping us capture multiple photos and ensuring everyone could fully enjoy the moment. Truly a 5-star experience and a memory I’ll cherish.”

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!! ☺️”

“Well planned activity with supply of waterproof overalls and shoes. Some waiting time outside until everyone is dressed properly and helmets given so it gets very cold. Nice atmosphere when stopping for snacks and drinks. We did not get to see the northern lights because of clouds and snow but we still very much enjoyed the activity. Snowmobiling is very fun if done according to instructions”

But it didn’t matter, we still had loads of fun on the sledges and all 4 guides were really nice and informative. Highly recommend!”

“This was a really fun activity! The guides were incredible. They wanted to make sure we had a great experience, so we went to lots of places to try and see the lights even though it was a cloudy night, but we eventually succeeded. One of the guides even taught me how to take a good picture on my phone. I was a bit nervous about driving the snowmobile but they were very helpful and supportive.”

“This was an incredible experience! We had Ali, Mirco, and Tony as our tour guides and they were all extremely optimistic and, at times, even more excited about seeing the lights than we were (even though they do this everyday!). We were really worried that we were not going to see the lights because it was a very cloudy night in Rovaniemi. We felt better as soon as we got on the bus as our tour guides reassured us that even though it was partially up to chance, they were taking us to clear skies and were confident that we would get some action. We ended up driving 2.5 hours…”

Review of Rovaniemi’s small-group Northern Lights photography tour, with aurora chasing, warm gear, campfire snacks, photos, and practical tips.

“Very disappointing. Although we appreciate the northern lights aren’t guaranteed, on this tour the guide would pull off onto the side of the road and check the sky himself and no one else would be allowed to get out the van so we never even got chance to have a look for the lights ourselves. One side of the van got a glimpse through the window as he was driving but we weren’t given the opportunity at this point to get out for all to see. We were at the other side of the van with frozen windows so did not see a thing. The journey was 5 hours and…”
