Chase the Aurora with Lapland Explorers, led by local guides such as Vito, Berta, Eva, and Janne. You’ll follow space-weather data toward clear skies, sometimes crossing into Sweden.

“I would like to say thank you to the guides from 23rd and 24th of January, who did their best to find the best views for us, even if the weather conditions were not promising on 23rd. It was one of the best experiences I’ve lived so far! After the 1st tour on 23rd, we ended up loving it so much, that we wanted to do it again the next day, and the lights turned out even better than the 1st night. Nevertheless, we saw amazing northern lights both nights thanks to the guides professionalism. Couldn’t recommend this tour enough! Thank you, @hide.et.seek”

“It was an amazing experience. That day it was so cloudy in Rovaniemi and there was literally 0 chance to catch the lights in our location. However our guides Dreece and Anni, did the impossible to catch the northern lights. We drove 2.5 hour up to the Swedish borders looking for clear skies. In the end we were able to view them from 2 different locations and it was great. The team was very patient, very friendly and very professional. We highly recommend booking with this agency.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 175 reviews · 3 to 4 hours (approx.)

You’ll leave Rovaniemi with a photographer guide, warm outerwear, and a chance to chase the aurora beyond town. Expect camera advice, BBQ snacks, hot drinks, tour photos, and hotel pickup. Guides such as Micky and Dylan have earned praise, but group sizes can reach 40 and sightings are never guaranteed.

“Overall the experience was great! However they should take care of the winter clothes they give to participants in terms of how clean they are, especially with covid-19, we received onw with tissues in the pocket. But our guide Micky was amazing, she drove further away so we can see the northern lights and we enjoyed a great barbecue and they even got us corn due to dietary restrictions we have. I would definitely recommend this trip!”
