Northern Lights Hunting with a photographer (Only small groups)

On January 5th we made an excursion to see Northern Lights in Rovaniemi and the experience was fantastic, especially thanks to Oscar, our guide whom I want to highlight for his involvement and professionalism. On the day of the excursion, in the morning, we were sent a Whatspp with the weather forecast and the approximate pick-up time from the hotel. In the afternoon we were already given the time: 18.30. Oscar picked us up on time with a van in which there was already a group of five people. First he took us to the offices to equip us with thermal clothes and boots. They checked what we were each wearing and provided us with what we needed to withstand the 30 degrees below zero we were going to encounter. Being a Spanish company the fact that the guides are Spanish greatly facilitates communication. The night was not easy, it had been a full moon two days ago, so there was too much light. Still, Oscar did his best, even crossing the Swedish border, searching for a cloudless sky and constantly monitoring forecasts and times when auroras might appear. Finally we got to see two Northern Lights, not the spectacular ones, but given the conditions it was exciting to see them. Oscar also took care of taking pictures of us and was always attentive to the group, giving us directions for the best use of our cameras. We arrived at the hotel about 2 a.m. but it was worth it. I totally recommend this company and I want to emphasize that Oscar was in permanent contact by telephone with Noemí, the owner of the company, despite the late hours, which gave me a great sense of security and control.

A huge thank you to Noemy and Alexei for an unforgettable evening spent chasing the Northern Lights! Their professionalism, passion, and teamwork made the experience truly special. Noemy, your patience, excellent organization, and ability to navigate the hunt were truly impressive! Your dedication to capturing the perfect shots and ensuring we had the best possible experience was remarkable. Alexei, your vast knowledge and storytelling added so much depth to the adventure. The way you shared information and kept us engaged made the whole experience even more magical. You may not aim to be the biggest team, but with your enthusiasm and expertise, you are well on your way to being the best! Highly recommended to anyone looking for an authentic and well-organized aurora hunting experience! — Martina, studio MaRRtinez

Noemy and Alexei were wonderful hosts. We got in touch for a couple of days until we had favorable conditions to pursuing the northern light. They had spared no efforts and took us to Norway on a 4 hour drive from Rovaniemi so we could see a very intense, green aurora. The drawings on the sky were absolutely amazing. Then, by the end of our tour, we figured we had lost our keys somewhere. They were very kind to help us with our costumer service (speaking finnish for us), and offered all the support we needed. We couldn't have asked for better guides!

This was my first experience with the Northern Lights, and I’m so glad I joined Arctic Adventure Lapland! Both Noemi and Alex were incredibly caring, helpful, and professional. They helped me with my camera and tripod, monitored all the readings throughout the trip. Initially, I thought that seeing the aurora alongside a shooting star was a perfect first experience, but they kept pursuing the best views. We ended up witnessing the aurora band stretching across the sky, illuminating it beautifully. Now I understand why people refer to it as the "aurora dance." I enjoyed every minute of the tour! So thank you!! 😊
