If you do not wish to read the entire review - please look no further and book this tour. There are plenty of big companies but none will offer you the experience this company will. Please for you own sake book with Laplandsacpes. I have never written a review of more or less anything in my life but feel compelled to write this review given how good our tour was and how great the guide was and I would not wish anybody to miss out on the opportunity our family had There maybe many tours available for the Northern lights but this must be by far the best. This was one of the best experiences we have received as a family and if you are looking for a tour of the northern lights look no further and book with Velu. To start with we communicated via email to check as a family we were suitable. We were greeted with friendly, polite and timely responses. As we arrived in Finland we aware given up dates on the likelihood of our tour taking place and the initial day we booked di not look likely so it was moved. We were communicated with efficiently through out so we always knew what was happening. On the day of the tour he arranged to pick us up at our hotel and was exactly on time. He then spent hours driving through the night to find the perfect spot for us. There appeared to be little hope of seeing anything but with the data he had collated he found the one gap in the clouds for us to see the most amazing light show. The genuine joy on his face and the delight he got from seeing our kids amazement at the Northern lights shoed us this is not just a job for him but a passion. He truly wants to share this amazing experience with you. I do not believe anybody working for a larger company would ever be that glad that we got to see the lights that night. It was one of the most magnificent evenings of my families life made even more so by the tour operator. Again please please book with Velu you will not regret it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (10/10) We had the absolute best experience on our Northern Lights tour in Rovaniemi with Velu as our guide. From start to finish, everything was incredible. Velu was not only extremely knowledgeable about the aurora and the surrounding nature, but also genuinely passionate about what he does, and that passion truly shined through in every part of our tour. A big bonus for us was that he supplied us with hand warmers these were perfect. He made the entire evening feel relaxed and special. We never once felt rushed, he gave us plenty of time to take photos, soak in the moment, and enjoy the magic of Lapland’s night sky!! Even on the way back, Velu went above and beyond pulling over so we could watch the aurora crown explode overhead one last time!!🤩😍It was absolutely breathtaking and something we’ll never forget. If you’re thinking about booking a trip to see the Northern Lights in Rovaniemi, don’t hesitate, book with Velu! You can tell he genuinely loves sharing this experience with others, and it makes all the difference. Highly recommend, it was an unforgettable 10/10 adventure!

Velu is truly professional, and very knowledgeable. Even though we didn't have the luckiest night with the northern lights, Velu spent our time together teaching us about the science behind the aurora, and how to read the data from satellites so that we can make better predictions. After our tour, we followed the data and managed to catch the lights at 3am!

If you're reading this, just take this tour with your eyes closed. If there's an aurora anywhere, he'll find it! :))) After carefully reading reviews, I have noticed that some of the guaranteed aurora sightings were not so guaranteed as they make it seem... We chose Velu and went. The car is super comfortable and warm, he doesn't turn the car off at any minute because everyone can come in the car to warm up. He was willing to show and explain everything, he's passionate about it. He'll stay out and it's not until you see anything and that's it. In our case, we could see the aurora very well, then if stopped, there was no sign of new activities anytime soon and still he was there, waiting for hours, until we and the other two people who were on the tour decided to give up too. He then took us to the hotel, but here comes the best part: half an hour after leaving us, he messaged and said that it was back. So although we had all seen the aurora and the sighting was good, he would've come back to get us to see more of it, which is quite amazing! I have researched all the companies in Rovaniemi, and this was the best choice. I also went to a hotel that by coincidence only recommends him to his guests.

Thank you for the experience! Velu made sure to keep us updated during the day and to find us the best spot to see the northern lights. The northern lights were amazing to see. We had a great time and felt very comfortable with Velu as our guide!

Velo gives everything to find the auoras. You will see them, he may even drive 6+ hours. He has a great technical knowledge and has many tools.

I had the pleasure of taking an aurora-hunting tour in Rovaniemi with Velu, and it was truly a fantastic experience. Velu was incredibly kind and always open to conversation, which made the whole trip feel really friendly and welcoming. He took the time to explain the nature of the auroras to us, sharing all sorts of interesting details, and he kept a great attitude the entire time. I'd definitely recommend him to any visitors who want a warm, friendly experience and the chance to make some new friends in Finland!

We found Laplandscapes through a flyer in downtown Rovaniemi, and we were so lucky! Velu went above and beyond to help us with the tour (which had the best chance of seeing the Aurora on our last night in Rovaniemi). He took us with our bags for the tour and then dropped us off at the airport. But beyond that, I must emphasize that Velu has a lot of hunting experience and knows the best spots and strategies to make this dream come true. Simple, clear, objective, and practical—just as it should be. He kindly gave us hand warmers and flashlights so we could take photos with the Aurora. Of course, we saw a splendid Aurora, which we were amazed by! All thanks to Velu's expertise! We finished with a bang! You can trust her 100%; it's a unique and indescribable experience!
