What guests say about our aurora hunts

Seeing the Northern Lights was an unforgettable, magical experience. A massive thank you to our tour guide, Rasmus! He was such a lovely, fun, and amazing guy who made the whole trip incredibly enjoyable.

Briana V., Cluj-Napoca, Romania · TripAdvisor

It's nature so it doesn't always do what you want it to do. Tino was great at changing stops to give us the best opportunity to view Northern lights activity. We enjoyed the trip.

Kerry, Australia · GetYourGuide

It was great! They drove near the border to Sweden, making sure we'll get the best aurora shots!

Good to know

What happens if we do not see the Northern Lights?

This tour is covered by our 100% Aurora Guarantee. If your guide cannot capture a photo of you with the Northern Lights during the hunt, you receive a full refund. Read how the guarantee works.

How long does the group tour last?

Four to six hours. There is no fixed route: we leave Rovaniemi in the evening, drive to the clearest sky, often 100 km or more away, stop for photos and hot drinks, and return once we have found the lights.

Where does the group tour start?

At our office at Rovakatu 19, 96200 Rovaniemi, in the city centre. Tours leave at 19:30 or 20:00; you choose the time when you book. If you are staying outside the centre, see where to stay for the Northern Lights or ask us about a meeting point.

How is the group tour different from the small-group tour?

The group tour travels in a larger vehicle with up to 48 guests, lasts 4-6 hours and departs from our office, which keeps the price at 99€. The small-group tour has a maximum of 8 guests per guide, runs up to 12 hours and 350 km, includes videos, and picks you up from your accommodation. Both carry the Aurora Guarantee.

What should I wear on a Northern Lights tour?

Three layers: a merino or synthetic base layer, a fleece or wool mid layer and a windproof insulated outer layer, plus wool socks, a warm hat, a neck gaiter and mittens. Read our packing list for Lapland tours. Winter clothing is not provided on our Northern Lights tours, so please come dressed for the cold. No warm gear? Rent a winter clothing set in Rovaniemi from 39€ a day. There are hot drinks at every stop.

Are the photos really included?

Yes. Your guide photographs you under the aurora with professional DSLR equipment at no extra cost, and the photos are shared with you after the tour. Bring your own camera too: our aurora photography tips explain the settings.

Can children join the tour?

Yes, children are welcome on our aurora tours. The hunt runs late into the night and includes long stops outdoors, so dress them warmly and tell us their ages when booking.

What is the cancellation policy?

Free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure. If we cancel a tour ourselves because of weather or safety, you are refunded in full.

Which month is best for this tour?

Aurora tours run from late August to mid-April. September, February and March have the clearest skies; December and January have the most darkness. See our guides to the best month, December, January, February and March.
