Family Friendly Northern Lights Tour in Rovaniemi
Overview
Available languages
2 hours
Mobile ticket
Begin your evening with a hotel pickup and a short drive away from the city lights into the pristine wilderness, where the chances of spotting the aurora borealis are at their best. Along the way, listen to your knowledgeable local guide share fascinating stories about the northern skies and the science behind the magical phenomenon of the aurora.
What makes this experience special for families is the relaxed pace: no long hikes or overly strenuous activities, but rather a calm and engaging evening that balances adventure with comfort. Even if the aurora doesn’t show on a particular night, the experience of being together in the Arctic wilderness—surrounded by snowy forests and star-filled skies—is magical in itself.
At the end of the tour, you’ll be safely transported back to your accommodation in Rovaniemi with lasting memories, photos, and perhaps the glow of the northern lights still in your eyes.

5.00Last night we had a wonderful guide Niilo for our family friendly Northern Lights tour. Niilo picked us up in Santa Claus Village and through his experience he said a short drive to a busy lake area should be successful. He was absolutely correct. We arrived to the frozen over lake and immediately got some glimpses of the Northern Lights. Niilo helped us adjust our camera settings to get the best photos we could. Our children played in the area and we entered a yurt with a wood flamed fire for some nice heat. When we left the yurt we got to witness the most amazing display of the Northers Lights. The lights filled and danced around the sky. We were amazed at this spectacular display and spent another while at the lake. We got some beautiful family photos also thanks to Niilo. We traveled the short distance back to our suite and relaxed while chatting about our spectacular night. This night will live long in our memories..I would highly recommend this family Northern Lights tour and hopefully you get lucky amd have Niilo as your host
