Chasing the Northern Lights and Capturing the Magic!

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.
Excellent experience, beautiful Northern Lights.

5.00I traveled from Chile and found it an excellent experience, the guys in the company have a very good disposition and do everything possible to find the beautiful Northern Lights. I went 2 nights and both were spectacular. HIGHLY recommended. Thanks Roni, Jesse and Vito! I would definitely repeat with you again!:)
No limits and guarantees: they have done BINGO!

5.00We chose this activity to be sure to see the Northern Lights, but it is not obvious, it is still an activity of nature. Yet Daniel, our guide, went as far as the borders of Sweden to show us one of the most beautiful and powerful auroras that has been dubbed the BOMB! He was an exemplary guide in everything: punctuality, guidance, commitment, and availability. When, after 2 hours on the road, we managed to find a good spot, he took a lot of pictures of us and, despite the freezing cold (it was -26 degrees and we could all feel it), he kept inviting us to take more pictures and take advantage of one of the strongest and most beautiful auroras! The package says: no time limit, no mileage limit and guarantee to see the aurora. I think they respected very well every single word of their announcement! We were all delighted with the experience and would highly recommend it to anyone, especially in this formula!
Unreal Experience

5.00This experience was amazing. Our tour guide, Janne, looked after us so well and kept us updated throughout the afternoon regarding departure time and throughout the tour. He found the perfect spot and took incredible photos of us - he really knew all the best angles and spots. He was super friendly and made the experience incredible. We also had some yummy hot juice and cookies! I would recommend this experience to everyone! Thank you Janne and Lapland Explorers!
Amazing team and unforgettable northern lights experience!

5.00It was a truly unique experience! From the moment we arrived at the office, Jesse and his team were incredibly kind they explained everything clearly, showed us the aurora forecast, and were very honest with us from the start. We were a group of 14 women, and they really went above and beyond! Our guides, Dani and Vitto, were super friendly and had an amazing attitude! they took us to beautiful spots to chase the northern lights and made the whole experience unforgettable. So grateful for this wonderful adventure with them! I totally recommend doing this Northern Lights experience with them! And of course I’m going to come back to Rovaniemi and book this experience with them too thank you very much for the good disposition all the time!
Could be better

3.00We did see the northern lights, but they were very faint to the naked eye. They took us to two different locations, one of them was in Sweden, but the lights were very subtle in both places. I had done a similar tour with another company, and while the lights were also faint to the naked eye at first (much like on this tour) their guides took us to several other locations until we experienced a truly vivid display. On this tour, it felt like things wrapped up quickly after we got a photo, which made it seem like the focus was more on capturing an image than giving us time to really enjoy the lights ourselves. The tour description mentioned guides with Sámi heritage and stories about Sámi culture and Arctic nature, but that part didn’t happen, which was disappointing as I was looking forward to it. The tour was rescheduled due to weather, which I completely understand. I did cancel a dinner reservation to accommodate the change, but we ended up leaving later than expected so I could’ve gone after all. That didn’t really affect my rating though. Overall, it was a decent experience, but I think there’s room to improve. ——- Update: After posting the above review, the company reached out to let me know they had updated their tour description to better explain the limitations of the bus tour and to acknowledge the communication issues I experienced. Whilst my overall experience and rating of this tour remains unchanged I appreciate their willingness to take feedback on board and make improvements, and I felt it was important to share this follow-up too.
Beautiful experience
