Rovaniemi aurora hunt with expert guides, free photos, hot drinks, long-distance chasing, and a full refund if nothing appears.
“We saw the two tour guides working hard to help us find the Northern Lights, professionally analyzing the weather and wind direction. They endured the cold to help us set up our cameras for photos and efficiently sent the pictures back to us. They were very polite. Additionally, I want to commend the driver for continuously driving for two and a half hours without taking a break.”

Chase the Northern Lights from Rovaniemi with a small group, warm gear, photography help, hot drinks, snacks, and edited photos.
“Our guide Viller was an Amazing guide, very kind and thoughtful. However, there were a number of things that made me select 3 stars for this experience 1. The weather the night of the hunt was VERY cloudy, even hours before the hunt started. It was pretty much guaranteed that the northern lights would not be seen that night. I was even told that it would be extremely difficult by the guide as I was gearing up inside their facility. I think it would’ve been fair to cancel or postpone the tour because after all, that it the main reason why we all showed up. We grilled and took photos…”

Review of Rovaniemi’s Northern Lights Photography Tour, with camera tips, BBQ snacks, warm clothing, transport, group-size advice, and honest drawbacks.
“If you want to do a trip that is focused on photography then this isn't the one for you despite the title. The northern lights didn't show, hey that's nature and it can't be controlled. However, there were some things that weren't as sold on the trip description. Firstly, "small group" means that you will be in a minibus but part of a convoy of vehicles packed with people from the same operator who will all pile out at the same location. In reality you are transported in a small group but are part of a much larger group. Also, do not expect to have any kind of focus on…”

“We have been at several Spots to get the most out of the experience. This was perfect!”
Review of Rovaniemi’s small-group Northern Lights hunt, with Sweden chases, free DSLR photos, warm drinks, pickup, and a weather guarantee.
“Our driver/guide/photographer was Veeti and we travelled with another group guided by Tino. They were relentless and we were able to chase the northern lights all the way to Sweden. The vehicles were new, clean and comfortable. Sitting 6 at the back and 2 up front. We were out for 9 hours. It was worth it and we have so many wonderful and clear photos send to us within 24 hours. I thoroughly researched before choosing this company. I’m glad I went with them and not the cheaper option where they shove you in buses with dozens of people. We were able to sleep in between stops. We were with…”
Review of Levi’s four-hour Northern Lights photo tour, with aurora tips, hot drinks, guide quality, transport details, price, and honest drawbacks.
“We saw the northern lights! A tip: make sure you download an aurora alert app before you book an activity like this. We were lucky to witness the aurora for at least an hour. The tour overall is okay, there were two French guides who were responsible for our group of 30 people. They took photos with their DSLR cameras and promptly uploaded the photos for us to download.”
Chase Finland’s northern lights from Saariselkä by car, with warm drinks, gingerbread, photography tips, hotel transfers, and tour photos.
“Unfortunately, the tour was disappointing. We did see the aurora; however, the driver didn’t show much enthusiasm, only driving for a while and stopping in a lay-by next to the road. There was some aurora activity, but the high tension cables above spoiled the occasion (as they would interfere with the view and -of course- with the pictures). The driver commented that “we don’t need to go elsewhere: we’ll see the same lights” (i’m paraphrasing, but that was the message). We knew that, but a search for a picturesque scenario (eg, the frozen lake Ukonjarvi ) would have made for a much better experience than stopping at the side of…”
