Our trip to the Northern Lights has already received excellent reviews for years. This is because our Northern Lights spotting place is the best possible place where no other lights are at all, the northern sky is fully open, and the weather is often clear even if it is cloudy or foggy in the town. By our long experience the right hours to be out there is 11-12 PM. The likelihood is about 80% to see some kind of lights. Is it the highest in the world? We do not know but we think so!
Why to book our organized trip? It is all about knowing the best place for following the lights. Many people believe that a glass igloo helps you seeing the Northern Lights. It is a special experience indeed to sleep in one but actually they don’t help you seeing the lights. The best chances and places are on mountains. The hills have a great view to north, and are far away from all artificial lights.
Guaranteed lights: If you miss the lights anyway you may join again within the next following 2 weeks!

Very 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.

I 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!

Very 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 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.

Weather 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

Fantastic 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!

After 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.

FRAUD !!!!!!!!!! The owner is a very unserious person and does not comply with what was agreed, nor is he responsible. Furthermore, he acts in very bad ways. It is one of the worst experiences of my life. We made the mistake of hiring three activities and all three went wrong. If you want to go out and see the Northern Lights, go see a professional. They make you a barbecue and take you even if there is zero activity and it is cloudy. Being certain that you will not see them. A hoax!!! You hire a long 10 km husky tour and you arrive at the farm and they only do 5 km. Furthermore, they didn't even expect us at the farm, they hadn't made the reservation. They say there is no such thing as a 10 km. You complain to the owner and he sends you away. You hire a snowmobile tour with the 8-year-old girl and on the day you are going to do the activity, he does not let her get on the snowmobile (minimum 10 years old) and forces her to go on the sleigh with the guide. Request payment of the extra amount paid for having taken 2 motorcycles and is not responsible. It is unfortunate that they allow this man to carry out business activity and allow him to change the name of the company every so often to avoid complaints. It is always called Lampland and changes the middle name, currently welcome. The staff we had was wonderful, all young people, recently hired. They couldn't be more kind and attentive.
