Description
Join us on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure to witness the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) in all its glory. Guided by local experts who specialize in tracking the lights, you’ll visit 2–3 handpicked locations, carefully chosen for their wide-open skies and freedom from light pollution. Above you, the aurora dances like silk ribbons across the stars. Green, violet, and crimson waves shimmer and swirl in complete silence, as if the sky itself is alive and breathing in color. It’s nature’s own light show — breathtaking, surreal, and utterly unforgettable. Gathering around a warm campfire, where stories of the Aurora Borealis come alive. Savor local snacks and hot drinks, soak in the atmosphere, and share in the wonder. This isn’t just a tour — it’s an Arctic memory that will stay with you forever.

Fun and informative activity!
Although the sky was very cloudy, the activity itself was really fun and informative!
We visited and walked on 2 different frozen lakes in forests, a river - where you can also fish and we also saw 2 beautiful wooden bridges. Marie - our tour guide took some wonderful pictures of us! Later we had some warm juices, cookies and sausages in a bbq shelter , getting a hint of Finnish culture!
Marie gave us important information on the aurora borealis and on general knowledge around Finland. She is very smiley and extremely helpful and mindful of her guests!

Amazing and exciting
I had an amazing trip to witness aurora in Rovaniemi. The lakeside view is beautiful. I saw the northern lights appear for a few minutes, it was truly breathtaking and made me so excited. I don’t remember the guide’s name, but he was very supportive and friendly. He shared lots of interesting facts about aurora here. Highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to see the northern lights. But remember if you want to see aurora, you need to be patient during the whole trip, because it can appear and disappear suddenly. That surprise is what excited me most. I was screaming like crazy when it finally showed up, so lucky

Great tour and great guide
Our guide Nadine was a brilliant person, very nice and cheerful. We went into a lake to take pictures and snow was up to knee high, she knelt down and move her body to push the snow away so we can stand there to take photos. She was concern that we might not see the northern light so she has been checking constantly. She was the first person to notice aurora has appeared and quickly inform all of us so we don’t miss anything. It was a lovely tour with a great guide.
