What To Expect
Northern Lights Photography Hunting in Rovaniemi offers the best chance to witness and capture the Aurora Borealis in Finnish Lapland. This is not a stationary tour. Our experienced Northern Lights hunters actively chase clear skies and strong aurora activity using real-time weather forecasts, cloud maps, and solar wind data. Every decision is made during the night to maximize your chances of seeing the Northern Lights. You’ll be driven far away from city lights and light pollution to carefully selected locations deep in Arctic nature. Each night is unique, and there is no fixed route — flexibility is key to success. We also take professional-quality photos of you under the Northern Lights using high-end camera equipment. All edited images are delivered by email after the tour. The tour departs from Rovaniemi, Lapland, and operates from late August to early April, when aurora conditions allow. Duration: approximately 6–8 hours, depending on weather and aurora activity. Join us for a premium Northern Lights hunting and photography tour in Rovaniemi, guided by professionals for an unforgettable Arctic experience.

5.00We had an amazing evening searching for the Northern Lights thanks to Joona. While the weather was forecasting a lot of clouds, he did not hesitate to travel nearly 3 hours from our hotel to find us a clear sky... and thanks to him we could see an absolutely magical spectacle. A real dream come true for both of us, with stars in our eyes. Beyond the dawn, Joona was great, warm, caring, passionate and very friendly. We immediately felt comfortable with him, like walking with someone who really likes to share what he does. Many thanks to him for his involvement and kindness. We recommend this excursion without hesitation to all those who want to live an unforgettable moment. Thanks again Joona 🙂

5.00We were incredibly lucky to have such an amazing driver during our Lapland trip. Joona was always punctual, calm, and extremely professional, even in challenging winter conditions. What truly stood out was his patience and politeness. Traveling as a family with kids isn’t always easy, yet he was consistently kind, understanding, and never rushed us. He made every journey feel safe and relaxed, which meant so much to us. He was also friendly and approachable, always happy to help and ensuring we were comfortable at all times. His positive attitude and professionalism genuinely enhanced our overall experience. A fantastic driver and a wonderful person — highly recommended. Thank you Joona!

5.00Couldn’t recommend this tour enough. You can tell the guides have such a passion for what they do. Joona messaged us earlier in the day asking if we could start earlier because of the projected forecast showing how much preparation they put into making sure we had the best experience. We went to a spot that was safe and had wonderful views of the aurora.
Joona Forsgren Johka Arctic Experiences Reindeer Farm Visit

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Joona Forsgren from Johka Arctic Experiences provided our family with a wonderful day-trip experience to a reindeer farm. He was extremely knowledgeable about all things Finland. He was a great conversationalist, had a tremendous command of English and is a truly wonderful ambassador for his country. He asked if he could take some pictures of us as he has his cameras with him at all times. The bonus came the next day when we received some breath-taking and stunning pictures of our adventures at the reindeer farm. He certainly captured all the beauty and excitement our family experience. His gift of pictures was totally unexpected and very much welcomed. Thanks Joona, for your time. And to all you travelers, if you get the chance to book a trip with him, DO IT!
