1What the operator says

This is a true aurora hunting tour led by a professional photographer who's photos have been viewed millions of times on social media!
Starting from Rovaniemi with a flexible start time, we will drive to a location where the weather models have determined that we will have the best chance of seeing the aurora. Whether it’s half an hour away or deep into Swedish Lapland, I want to see the aurora as much as you do so I’ll make sure to get there!
Once we have located clear skies and aurora, it’s time to enjoy the show and take document all the magic with with my high quality mirrorless cameras and astrophotography lenses. All good photos taken on the night are provided to you at print quality within 2 doys of the tour.
In the event that we don't get any photos of the northern lights, you can join another tour for free or an 80% money back. With these policies in place, we've seen northern lights on many nights where others cancelled because of difficult looking conditions.
