Northern Lights Tour with BBQ and drinks
Overview

Mobile ticket
Let us take you away from the city to experience the magical dancing Northern Lights. Learn more about this rare phenomenon while enjoying a cozy evening in the Arctic wilderness!
This 3-hour tour includes transportation, guidance, storytelling, and hot sausages by the campfire. Hear fascinating Nordic myths and watch as the colorful lights fire up the sky. We have cookies!
The best time of the year to see the Northern Lights in Finland is between September and April. In Lapland, you can witness this spectacle for up to 200 nights a year. That’s why we take you away from the city lights to fully enjoy the majestic Aurora display.
Our Aurora hunt lasts for 3 hours. We’ll pick you up from your hotel in Rovaniemi and take you to our secluded countryside location, where we’ll sit by an open fire and wait for the lights. Snacks and drinks are included—help yourself to sausages cooked over the open flame and warm up with a cup of hot tea.

Northern Lights are a natural occurrence and we are unable to guarantee activity, vibrancy or colour on the evening of the safari.

5.00Such a good time! We were lucky enough to see the lights towards the end of our time but as soon as we met Brandon - our guide, we knew it was money well spent regardless. Such a funny, knowledgeable, polite, nice guy! Bring heat packs… bring a tripod… definitely do it.
A great experience

5.00Even though unfortunately no Northern Lights were visible that evening we had a great time with two competent and very nice guides. Our vegan food wish was also fulfilled. Highly recommended!
A lot of fun.

1.00Aurora hunting. Worst experience ever. No equipment provided (with -29 degrees Celsius for about 4 hours under a roof with a small Fire that could not warm up, other tour operators provide you with the right equipment), mini van battery down, we had to wait one more hour for help! Freezing!!The small aurora Was seen by a person of the gruoup not the guide that Was under the roof by the Fire cause outside Was too cold! The guide Was nice, but the boss on the phone, with whom i organised the tourWas even rude! A bad experience!

1.00The day before, the company anticipated the activity by half an hour On the day of the activity, there were excellent conditions for observing the Northern Lights, with maximum probability from 10:30 pm to 11:30 pm, But the guide said he had to go to work the next day and the 3h tour it was ending no possibility to stay more some minutes......unbelievable!
Best Northern lights tour experience
