We use our comfortable minivans that seat 8-20 people to hunt the Auroras - the Northern lights - so that we have the possibility to go as far as needed to find the Auroras. We cannot guarantee that you will see the Northern lights, but what we can guarantee is that we will do everything in our power to find them for you.
Our Aurora Hunt is organized for small groups to assure the quality of the service for our guests. All our guides are professional "Aurora Hunters" and can answer all your questions about Auroras, Finland, and the culture. The Hunt is always customized by the guide according to weather and the Aurora forecast, but it always includes transportation, English speaking guide, warm drinks, and some snacks.

Best guide for aurora hunting

5.00We had the best experience chasing the Northern Lights with Mikke! He was very polite; he made everyone feel comfortable and shared tons of interesting information about the aurora and Lapland. We really appreciated how committed he was—stopping at different spots, checking the sky, and adjusting routes to give us the best chance of seeing the lights multiple times. He took us to several super dark locations, including a frozen lake—and that’s when the magic happened. The whole sky lit up, and the lights were dancing right above us. It was unreal. Thank you, Mikke, for such an unforgettable night. Highly, highly recommend! 🌌
The night of Sarisella, the journey after Aurora – a special moment with Arctic Timetravels

5.00The Aurora experience in Sarisella has long been a memorable experience. In particular, the Aurora photo tour of Arctic Timetravels made the journey even more special. The guide Ivan led us from beginning to end with a sincere youthful attitude. We didn't stay in one place to see Aurora better, we constantly checked the state of the sky and moved 4 to 5 spots. In the process, it felt like not just a photo tour, but a journey to find Aurora. It was even the time to run the snow-covered roads and find a clearer sky. Aurora's century was not very strong that night. There was also a slight inertia in Tara, who expected a strong curtain to fill the sky. But even at that moment, Ivan changed his point and tried to create the best possible scene, allowing him to experience the Aurora of calm, silver-shaped light. And something more amazing happened the next day. As a selfie, I went back to Aurora Hunting, where I met "Dancing Aurora" as the sky opened at the spot where I went with Ivan the day before. The moment the blue green light flooded across the sky and saw the dance scene, the movement and explanation of the day before, and the advice of the guide came together. I was stuck by the fact that I was standing back in that position, and when I finally faced the intense Aurora, I felt a joy that was difficult to express. Looking back, the Arctic Timetravels tours were not just a tourism program, but a time to learn how to understand and wait for Aurora. Thanks to the experience of the guides and their sincere guidance, the Aurora experience in Sariselka became a deeper memory. If you want to experience Aurora in Salisbury, you can say with confidence that this tour is the best choice.
The most magical evening

5.00We had the most incredible experience with Ivan, he truly is one of the best Aurora hunters out there. His depth of knowledge is unmatched, and his passion really shows. It was the final night of our trip, and we hadn’t yet seen the Northern Lights with the naked eye, so our hopes were high—and Ivan absolutely delivered. We witnessed the lights at four different locations, each display more spectacular than the last. When the Aurora didn’t appear at our planned second stop, Ivan completely changed the plan and extended the tour by an extra hour and a half to give us the best possible chance. He went above and beyond to make sure we had an unforgettable experience, and I learned so much about the Northern Lights along the way.
A beautiful experience

5.00I was able to see only the weakest parts of the Northern Lights, but I think that was because of various factors such as weather and solar activity. However, small groups of up to eight people in a minivan. I thought it was a good way to hunt for us to tour five places, sometimes as a team with a few other cars, sometimes as a group and sometimes as a group, sharing information about the weather. Also, there was a transfer to the hotel, so it was safe.

5.00The overall experience was amazing. We got to see the lights at multiple points. Jesse was a knowledgeable guide, who took us to great locations and kept us entertained with facts.
Northern lights tour - fantastic!

5.00Fantastic! We were lucky to have the northern lights in full display all evening so didn’t need to hunt. But the guide took us to some amazing locations anyway and got fantastic pictures to treasure forever. Beautiful locations with amazing views. It was a freezing cold night so the hot drinks and biscuits were a lovely treat. Our 9 yr old also enjoyed the fun. Thank you all so much! Highly recommend.
Best memory of our trip

5.00Amar was a wonderful guide. Although we were not very confident in our English, he was incredibly kind and helpful. When we asked him to take photos with our iPhone, he gladly accepted and was so friendly. During the tour, he took us to various beautiful spots and even offered us warm juice and cookies. We were able to see a magnificent aurora, and it became the best memory of our trip! If we ever have the chance to come to Lapland again, we would definitely love to join this tour once more.
It is a friendly and enjoyable tour.
