What To Expect
Embark on an authentic winter experience and join us for a northern lights tour. We'll pick you up from your accommodation and provide you with warm winter clothing to keep you comfortable during the journey. After a 20-minute drive to our private location, we'll set up a campfire and you'll have the opportunity to roast snacks (Sausages, marshmallows, cinnamon buns and warm blueberry juice from forests of finland) and warm yourself by the fire. You can warm up front of the fireplace in the atmospheric cottage and feel the spirit of the 100 years old log house. If we are lucky enough you'll be treated to a spectacular display of the Northern lights. Our expert guides will help you to understand the science and history behind this natural wonder, and share stories and traditions of the local people. After an unforgettable evening under the Northern lights, we'll take you back to your accommodation.

Good for kids, however less chances to see northern lights

3.00We went on this trip as we had a toddler and were not sure if they would be comfortable doing the aurora chase. While the whole concept is family friendly we couldn’t spot aurora and we couldn’t move from the spot as it was a fixed one. The same night aurora was spotted in nearby places which were 30 min away. While the trip itself did not promise to show aurora, we felt that having sausages and marshmallows for £100 each was a bit expensive and not value for money. The guide was great. She and her partner followed the plan but they couldn’t be flexible and take us to other places due to the way this package was set. So thanks guides for entertaining us but I don’t recommend this trip if you want to have high chances to see northern lights

4.00Although unfortunately we did not manage to see the northern lights, the experience overall was fun thanks to our guide Jesse who was interactive and give us a snippet of what growing up in Finland is like.

2.00We had a group of about 30, which is fine, but at $125 or more for each they why are you so stingy on the food? One sausage for each person? And some marshmallows for $125? Pathetically chealt. It's a 20 minute Uber ride outside the city to look at the lights. Totally save yourself some money and don't book this
Highly recommended!

Waste of money

4.00I reached Rovaniemi Airport with wheather forecast clear sky. Tour operated texted me about cancellation because not enough people but They still add in more people and make my tour successful. It starts 8pm so not rushing. Also gave Winter Jackets and Boots. Cottage is still cold. Campfire with sausages and drinks. Manage to capture aurora with phone camera eventhough just tinge of green light in the north. This tour no provide photography services so try take with your own best.

5.00Fantastic and very authentic experience! Juuso and the team really going extra mile to ensure everyone feels comfortable, taken care of and getting best possible experience. The location is also great with private frozen lake ensuring you get best views, old cottage to get cozy if too cold outside and fireplace to get some grilled sausages :) Strongly recommending
