  • Wow! Nice guides, nice trip!

    The Aurora picnic was accompanied by Maite and Rosa who both used their professionalism for us in a very friendly way. They have provided us very patiently with the right clothes and shoes men warm socks. During the bus trip Maite shared a lot of information about the Aurora (although mainly the four of us listened). And on the spot, when the fire was burning in the tipi tent, Rosa told the story of the Firefox was very fun and interesting! If both guides realized that we are very interested they were very enthusiastic in sharing information in a very friendly and fun way. Super cute and sweet ladies! Delicious sausages on bread and tasty juice and a cinnamon roll. We enjoyed and were very satisfied on this clear night with a lot of Aurora experience.

    It was a wonderful experience!!! Picnic in a tent with a crazy explosion of the Northern Lights that accompanied us throughout the evening! In the company of guides Andrea and Carla we ate sausages, cooked marshmallows on the fire and enjoyed the gift that nature has given us! Although the temperature was really freezing (I think -20) it was absolutely worth it! We recommend it!!

    Nana was a great guide doing her best to liven up the camp fire and creat a pleasant experience for us Unfortunately didn’t get to c the lights due to weather. The picnic provided was not substantial.

  • A very different but exhilarating visit worth the money and effort.Put it on your bucket list.on your bucket list

    We went exclusively to watch the Northern lights. We had a great experience but northern lights were very scarce and be barely were able to see Northern lights. However Christmas at Rovaneimi is fantastic. We stayed at the chalet which was exquisite and comfortable. The whole place is very scenic, cold and beautiful. Nepalese taxi drivers for superb.

    We went on a tour to see the Northern Lights and we couldn’t ask for anything better! Our guide Gianfranco Sottile, Anitta and Valentina Manzoni were extremely professional and competent, providing us with a wealth of information on the science behind this natural phenomenon. From the start, the organization was impeccable. We were accompanied to the best spots to spot the aurora, away from the city lights, and we were lucky enough to witness a breathtaking sight in the sky. The game of green and purple colors dancing above us was really exciting. In addition, we were provided with all the necessary equipment to stay warm and offered hot drinks and typical snacks. I highly recommend this tour with Safartica!!!

  • Aurora jackpot with BBQ

    We hit the jackpot! Open sky, high solar activity and knowledgable friendly and positive guides made it a night to remember. Valentine and Frya told us a lot about lappisch history and about the aurora. When we were at the spot Valentina showed where the aurora was and then it started! The beautiful colours were even visible by the naked eye! The BBQ and music topped the night of!

    It was a good experience, different from anything we are used to doing. We were lucky enough to see an aurora borealis even so faint. The guides were very kind, they made fire , it was a good time spent together.

    Thank you very much Safartica in particular Julien, Raul & Anita for being the tour guide for Aurora Borealis Picnic I visited Rovaniemi from India just to watch the Northern Lights. I loved the first night's light show and picnic so much that I had to book for the second night. Anyone who is looking at this review, if you haven't had a chance to see the lights yet I would recommend to book via Safrtica as they have options for pickup & drop from your location and the guides are well informed and polite. Again, thanks Anita for your patience, Raul for being a perfect host and sharing tons of knowledge on Northern Lights and lastly Julien for going the extra mile and showing the printouts to make us understand how the Northern Lights are created. The pictures I have shared are not edited. On the first day the lights (red & green) weren't that strong, but just see the pictures of the second day 🤩; spectacular green just lit the night sky!
