1What the operator says
Experience a reliable Northern Lights hunt from Rovaniemi with an expert team focused on finding clear skies and real aurora visibility, backed by our simple promise: No aurora = No payment. We do not follow fixed loops, we chase conditions. Each night our route is planned from scratch using cloud data, solar forecasts, and road access so we can position ourselves in the best possible viewing locations. If the skies are open 120 km away, that's where we go. On larger departures, we operate with a heated coach bus and multiple guides to ensure smooth coordination, guest support, and photography assistance.
All departures are led by a trained Aurora photographer who sends the edited photos digitally after the tour. Throughout the experience we keep you comfortable with warm berry juice and snacks at our viewing spot.
Meeting times adapt to the forecast and are usually between 18:00 and 20:00. The exact time will be confirmed by our team at 15:00 on the day of your tour by email.
