Our Northern Lights trip has got excellent feedback already for years. This is because our Northern Lights spotting place is the best possible place where no other lights are at all, northern sky is fully open, and the weather is often clear even if it is cloudy or foggy in the town.
From our long experience, the right hours to be out there are 11-12 PM.
Great surprises happen! The likelihood is about 80% to see some kind of lights. Is it the highest in the world? We do not know, but we think so!
Why book our organized trip? It is all about knowing the best place for following the lights. Many people believe that a glass igloo helps you seeing the Northern Lights. It is a special experience indeed to sleep in one but actually they don’t help you seeing the lights. The best chances and places are on mountains and hills having great view to north and what is really important for photographing – far away from all artificial lights.

What To Expect
Rovaniemi City Library
Join our legendary Northern Lights trip to maximize your chances to see this great natural arctic phenomenon and learn to make pictures of Auroras. Our destination is the best possible place – a small mountain where the sky is often clear and view to the north perfect. Even on our 45 minutes way out from Rovaniemi it is possible to see the Northern Lights – Aurora Borealis if the weather is good. We will end up to a large lodge just in the middle of the wilderness where we can find toilets and facilities. Afterwards we have a little walk up the hill where a comfortable tepee is waiting for us. We make a fire in the tepee and enjoy warm beverages and barbeque while watching the sky. The guide shares information about Northern Lights and the old mythology around them. The arctic starry sky is very beautiful. Spot the Big Bear and Polar Star, Northern Lights often appear just under the Polar Star. Listen to the stories about local life and nature by living fire. Experience some Lappish shamanism and see your future with our great Aurora guides! Our Northern Lights trip has got excellent feedback already for years.

Inexperience and insecurity!

1.00I had a terrible experience. The guide was inexperienced, just arrived in town. We booked a private tour for my family, including a 6-year-old child. The driver took us to a place he had never been. Part of the road was frozen, the car slipped and it was impossible to follow. He suggested another place, but there was only a quarter of fuel. I didn't want to take the risk, because being out of fuel in a place unknown to everyone at 6 degrees negative, was not a risk that I wanted to take. The car was very simple, uncomfortable and unstable for an adventure like this. In summary, we stayed about 3 hours inside the car, which ended up arriving at the fuel tank. We didn't stop anywhere to try to see the Aurora Boreal. More than 3 hours without food, almost no gasoline and no comfort. I became insecure, upset for not seeing absolutely anything, as it was not possible to stop at any spot to try. Exhausting! There was a lack of basic planning and knowledge! It was my worst experience on touring!

5.00Unfortunately we did not see the northern lights but we still had a great night with Kim who was our guide. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. The food they provided was great, the location was perfect, we did not have to walk far and catered for all ages within our group. Despite not seeing the lights we all left with a smile. Thanks Kim!
