“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.”

“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…”
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 Rovaniemi’s small-group Northern Lights photo tour, with hotel pickup, campfire sausages, warm drinks, and honest value advice.
“Beware. You will receive different pieces of information from the company and the tour operator regarding pick up timing and you will not be contacted over phone or message just on the app. The tour operator was extremely unprofessional and did not receive any of my calls in spite of trying to reach him. We travel many miles for a trip, we pay with our hard earned money and we end up getting no trip, no refund, no accountability and no kindness at all. I definitely do not recommend at all. Really upsetting.”

“There are no refunds, so I would not book this activity in advance. I would book it the day of the activity so you can check the weather. I ended up paying over $1100 and we did not see anything. Other tours offer some kind of guarantee this one does not. However, our tour guide did try very hard, we drove for over two hours into Sweden but to no avail.”
Review of Rovaniemi’s private Northern Lights hunt, with unlimited driving, photos, warm drinks, gear details, pricing, and practical advice.
“Our tour was average and not worth the price charged. It lasted about five hours in total. The aurora was only visible through the guide’s professional camera; it was not visible to the naked eye. There was no sparkling drink as previously informed, and no cold-weather clothing was provided. In the long-exposure photos, the sky does appear green, but when looking with the naked eye, it does not. In fact, the guide was constantly taking photos of the dark sky to check whether there was any aurora. The impression we had is that they do everything possible to obtain a photo showing the aurora, but do not focus on finding…”
