Rovaniemi: Northern Lights Tour with Guaranteed Sightings

1.Northern Lights Tour with Guaranteed Sightings

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 3,836 reviews · 8 hours · from $164Our pick

Spend up to 8 hours hunting the Aurora from Rovaniemi in a heated 2025 Ford Tourneo 4x4 van. With no more than eight people, a certified guide such as Matteo, Hugo, Aneeq, or Alexis, and professional DSLR photos included, you may cross into Sweden or Norway when clouds block the sky.

“Our guide Gabriel exceeded all our expectations. He put in incredible effort and truly made our day unforgettable. If you have the chance, definitely request Gabriel as your guide. We left Rovaniemi around 18:30 and even crossed the Swedish border while chasing clear skies. At one point we saw the Northern Lights and thought the tour was over — but Gabriel kept searching and found another spot where we were completely alone. What followed was an amazing aurora show. At first we were very unlucky, but later everything turned perfect. We were exhausted and assumed we would head back, yet Gabriel continued taking us to better locations. We finally arrived…”

Would highly recommend.”

The huskies were just a dream! I had the best time and will definitely be doing it again! I also booked this companies Northern Lights Tour after my original tour had finished (as they still had space) and as much as the lights didn’t show that night, I still had the most incredible time- toasting marshmallows, eating biscuits, drinking hot drinks…”

“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!! ☺️”

Despite the -20 degrees, you warm up in no time. At the BBQ you get tea or hot chocolate. In addition, a Finnish sausage with potato bread. Real cozy. The way back after the BBQ was quite tough. It’s only up, so be ready for a steep hike! We didn’t take a lot of breaks, so we went up quite fast. New record. 😮‍💨😂”

The pristine snow-covered landscapes, the gentle crunch of snow beneath the sled, and the eager excitement of the huskies created a memory that will stay with me forever. The staff were warm, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about their work. They took the time to introduce us to the dogs, sharing stories about their personalities and the care they receive. It was heartwarming to see how well the huskies were treated and how much they loved running through the snow. The sledding itself…”
