What To Expect
Lapland
Lapland, far up north, is a magical place where the Northern Lights dance in the sky like colorful spots of light. Our adventure begins as we hop into comfortable vehicles and head towards the clear starry sky. Our journey takes us far away from the hustle and bustle of the cities, deep into the embrace of nature, where silence reigns. Around us, snowy landscapes unfold, and with each stop, our hearts race with excitement. The hunt for the Northern Lights is a unique experience that leaves a lasting memory: the play of colors in the sky, the cold breeze on our cheeks, and the moments shared together. Welcome to this unforgettable adventure!

5.00By far the best experience we had during our stay in Finland!!! Jesse is a real aurora hunter… he drove us during two nights (first night was too cloudy) far in the north, even in Sweden to get the right spot! The result was far beyond our expectations, northern lights explosion just above us, magical!!! Thanks a lot. We wish you the best!!!
Definitive recommendation

5.00Although the forecast was not very good, our guide Jesse took the challenge and we went for the hunt. As a result, we had excellent aurora views, made fire and had loads of fun! Thank You.

5.00It was cloudy so I didn't really expect to see the northern light. But Jesse took us to many places so I was able to see the northern light, quite a lot. We even saw the dancing aurora in Sweden. Jesse looks through 5 weather forecasts to find best spot for the tourer. So you wouldn't regret booking the tour. This tour gave me an unforgettable memory.

5.00We had a long drive but the guide kept us informed the whole way there and was very attentive. The drive was comfortable and we also got some snacks on the way. Felt welcomed and looked after. Also saw a few reindeer during the drive! 😊
Bad experience to catch Northern lights

2.00Our experience was far from good. Hence, 2 stars to be able to see the northern lights but 0 for the experience and customer service. The communication before the trip was not pro-active, the car we drove in was old and the seatbelts were barley working. Our driver didn't talk to us nor did he know where we're going or what's going on. Apparently there are 1-2 guides who know what they're doing but hire clueless drivers (gamble who you end up with). We didn't get any information during the driving. The trip startet at roughly 20:30 but one of the "guides" immediately said it'll be a 10h trip. Then the guides still had to fill gas into the cars (why not coming prepared?) The websites states the tour will start earlier if it is estimated to be longer. The website also states experienced guides and an amazing experience. Ended up in a uncomfortable car (backwards driving for some), a clueless and borderline unfriendly driver. We managed to see the northern lights, one guide took pictures of the people who wanted to have a picture and we got a hot drink at the spot. Overall a rather poor experience since the atmosphere before and after the northern lights was just awful. Wouldn't recommend.

5.00The experience is at least to be done once in a lifetime, it is indescribable when began a hunt at dawn, our guide was an efficiency to lead us to all the good spot during the break we were lucky to be able to still enjoy the dawn, regarding the photos they are exceptional!!I recommend!!

5.00Thanks to Lapland Explorers, we had an amazing night. It all began with a pickup from our preferred location, followed by an exciting adventure to hunt for the aurora borealis. The ride was incredibly comfortable, thanks to their brand-new van. They even provided drinks and sweets along the way. During the hunt, they stayed in constant communication with local contacts to ensure we had the best chance of witnessing the aurora. Of course, it's important to remember that this is a natural phenomenon, and nothing is guaranteed. Thankfully, we were lucky enough to spot the aurora and capture a few photos. As you can see from the attached images, we even had the chance to stop at a cozy spot to warm up, enjoy some drinks, and grab a bite to eat during the night.
