Join our legendary Northern Lights excursion, carefully crafted to give you the best possible chance of witnessing the magical Aurora Borealis.
We head to a private, light-pollution-free location with open northern views. While waiting for the lights, relax in a warm tepee by the open fire, enjoy light snacks, and soak in the silence of the Arctic night. Your professional guide will take high-quality photos of you during the program, whether the Northern Lights appear or not, ensuring you always leave with memories from your Arctic experience.
At the location, you’ll also have access to proper indoor restroom facilities, and the nearby lodge offers snacks and drinks for purchase, along with local handicrafts, postcards and selected

If the Northern Lights do not appear, you may join the tour once again free of charge within the following two weeks, subject to availability.

5.00Very experienced northern lights tour guide Topi and his partner with very big and shiny eyes (sorry for missing your name). It was a great experience. Various destinations for the northern lights with a comfortable van, great pictures, the unforgettable little hiking to the cozy hut (a bit physical requirements indeed) and the very well prepared bbq food. Of course seeing the incredible memorable brilliant northern lights with our own eyes finally. Also seeing two little running deer on the way return at very late night. Very thrilled to have the luck seeing this level of northern lights at my first time. Unfortunately, very regret that we’ve forgotten to present our appreciations for those great arrangements on the spot! Hope you guys have a wonderful business in the future.
Amazing experience!!

5.00I booked both the elk safari and the Northern Lights viewing evening. Both were wonderful experiences. On the safari, the guide was passionate and we were lucky enough to see reindeer, an arctic fox and elk at nightfall. A very exciting experience! The Northern Lights viewing evening was also enjoyable. The photographers and guide did their utmost to maximise our chances of seeing this beautiful spectacle. The viewing site is very pleasant. I highly recommend it!
Disorganized company

1.00Very disorganized. Nasty personnel except for the guides were very sweet and kind but they didn't really have much energy or personality because they're so overworked and working in such a disorganized system. Communication was terrible before and during the three days I had reserved with them. There are many better companies.
Amazing tour.

5.00Amazing experience by your guide Aneeq. His knowledge of the aurora and even Finland was amazing. We felt safe with him. The tour was fantastic and the location of the base with access to toilets and fire pit and food was amazing and great fun. The tour started at 8pm and finished at 2am and although I had my 9yr old son with me he managed right up until the journey home. Highly recommend the experience.
Incredible night

5.00Weather in Rovaniemi was extremely cloudy and snowing. We decided anyway to proceed without any hope. Our guide Shoja studied weather condition using many satellite images and found a location suitable to catch northern lights. After 2.5 hours driving under the clouds we found ourself in the middle of nowhere under an incredible sky full of stars, and suddenly northern lights appeared in front of us. Shoja is a professional photograph and made amazing pictures of all of us. Thanks again Lapland Welcome for this amazing experience

5.00Fantastic experience. I thank Shoja who, despite the very cloudy weather, managed to find a starry window that allowed us to see the aurora. Shoja is also a very good professional photographer. I highly recommend!
Wonderful and magical.

5.00After waiting for a while we saw the Northern Lights and it was wonderful, the guide took great photos of our family. We were able to warm ourselves up by the fire in the tepee because it was very cold at minus 20 degrees. Luckily we had booked another night in the glass igloo because when the group had left we saw the Northern Lights again for an hour very intensely. Definitely recommended because you are not under any time pressure.
