2.Rovaniemi Northern Lights Photography Small-Group Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 409 reviews · 5 to 7 hours (approx.) · from $175

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…”

“The whole night was beautiful. The guide was lovely. He put so much care and effort into teaching us about Rovaniemi, about the lights, and making sure we had a nice time. The lights were kind of dim when we got to our spot but still very beautiful, and another group showed up, was there for about 20 minutes, then gave up and left. Our guide told us it was a waiting game- and he was right. Less than an hour later they did the most spectacular dance in the sky, it was breathtaking. We cooked sausages on an open fire, had hot Finnish juice, and the group was nice…”

Hunt the Northern Lights from Rovaniemi with local guides, professional photos, a campfire barbecue, and honest advice about cloudy skies.

“Amazing experience with this tour💗 This is the TRUE AURORA HUNTING. The weather was not that great when I visited, so the tour guide tried to hunt for the area where we can have chance to see AURORA. And indeed we had chance to see aurora 😆 Both the tour guides were super nice, and great photographer. The BBQ at the end was also amazing. We had camp fire with sausage, drinks, cookies, traditional Finnish desert, and marshmallows. It was super cold, like -26 degrees, but they tried their best for us to enjoy our times during the tour 🥰Read more”

Review of Rovaniemi’s 3-hour northern lights photo tour, with hotel pickup, campfire sausages, hot drinks, guides, and aurora chasing.

“Tour was pretty lame. Took us to a nearby field where there were 100 other cars. Out up a fire and asked us to warm up. The bbq part is also a joke. The vehicle was over crowded and not much room. No explanations or any tour information.”

Review of Rovaniemi’s aurora hunt with guide Kun, cross-border searches, unlimited photos, pickup, snacks, and practical booking advice.

“I cannot rate our experience with Kun highly enough - we had such an unforgettable time with him. Kun was professional, informative and engaging all through the night. We left later than the originally agreed departure time so that we could catch the best conditions in the best places. Seeing the Northern Lights is never guaranteed, and Kun was clear on this, but went above and beyond to ensure we truly had the best experience. Indeed, with his knowledge and drive, we struck lucky! We stayed out on the border of Sweden until 3:30am, soaking up the fantastic skies and sharing hot berry juice and cookies in our group. We…”
