5.00I went on a minivan tour last Saturday, and it was the best thing I did on my trip to Rovaniemi! Our guide Eli was fantastic and took us all the way into Sweden to see the lights. We saw such an amazing light show including dancing auroras over an amazing sky full of stars. Eli knew just where to go to get the best experience and photos with the least light pollution. The small group tour is more expensive but entirely worth it, we got to take as many professional photos as we wanted and it was fun to meet the other guests as well. Thanks Eli for keeping our energy up and being an expert hunter. These people are professionals!
A Wonderful Personal Connection and a Life-Changing Experience

5.00We decided to enlist the help of Roni, the CEO of Lapland Explorers and his Premier Guide Janne (aka Johnny-Bear) to take us on a private expedition to see, explore and photograph the Northern Lights. While a bit more costly to do it privately, I want to say up front,DO THIS!!!, you will not remember the cost, but the amazing experience will remain with you lifelong. We developed a connection with Janne, and hope one day to be invited to his wedding. The care, diligence and knowledge Janne possessed along with his tailoring things to our son's needs as well, and his impeccable kindness created absolute magic for our family. Without exaggeration, on a scale of 1-5, this was a TWELVE!!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Janne and Roni. We will always remember this experience you worked so hard to give us!

5.00I am absolutely sure that this tour has been the best decision that my husband and I could have made, our guide JANNE was very friendly and fun with us, took some spectacular photos and gave us hot drink and cookies, a memory that we will never forget and that was also the best because with temperature of -32 degrees Celsius it was almost impossible to take out our cameras, so we are more than grateful because our guide did everything spectacular

5.00We joined the Guaranteed Northern Lights Tour with Local Guides and Photos (small group tour) on December 20, and it well and truly exceeded all our expectations. Our guide Vito was outstanding. From the outset, he was enthusiastic, friendly, and deeply committed to making sure we saw the Northern Lights. He constantly monitored conditions, explained what was happening, guided the other local guides following him and took lots of photos with everyone, which we are eagerly awaiting. In one night, we drove from Finland up into Sweden, and then all the way back to Finland again—an epic journey that totalled around 9½ hours on the road. Despite the long drive, Vito’s energy never flagged. Even at the very end, as he dropped everyone off to their accommodation around 5am, he was still smiling, upbeat, and genuinely happy that we had seen them. Seeing them appear gradually and then light up the sky was indescribable. This tour truly delivers on its promise and really goes above and beyond. We cannot recommend this experience highly enough. A truly incredible, once in a lifetime experience.
Breathtaking

5.00The experience was absolutely amazing. Ronni, Jessi, Vito and Emmi made every experience unforgettable. They are very honest about the chances of observing auroras and are really hunters, they move constantly so that if or if you live the experience. In addition Emmi made us an amazing painting workshop that we enjoyed a lot. 1000% recommended. Best of Rovaniemi
An unforgettable night of Aurora Hunting

5.00I had the most wonderful aurora hunting experience and I’m extremely happy with how everything went. Our guide, Vitto (sorry if I’ve spelled your name differently, Vitor?), was absolutely exceptional. He was thoughtful, kind, and incredibly skilled at what he does. The tour happened on a particularly hard day. It was rainy and cloudy in Rovaniemi, so we drove all the way to Sweden in search of clear skies. Because we had to drive so far, the entire experience lasted about eleven hours, but not for a moment did I feel rushed. Vitto was patient, calm, and fully committed to giving us the best chance of seeing the auroras. He didn’t just hunt auroras for us. He explained the science behind the auroras in a way that was fascinating and easy to follow, helped with night-time photography like a true expert, and even pointed out constellations along the way. His driving skills were remarkable too. On our way back the roads were covered in ice, but he handled every terrain with steady confidence and made sure we were safe at all times. What stood out the most was his uncommon kindness. He genuinely cared about everyone in the group and created such a warm, positive atmosphere throughout the night. I loved the experience so much that I even tried booking it again during my stay in Rovaniemi, but sadly the weather didn’t allow it. Vitto if you are reading this - Thankyou! You truly made the night unforgettable.
