Rovaniemi: Guaranteed Northern Lights Group Tour - Photography
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
Experience a reliable Northern Lights hunt from Rovaniemi with an expert team focused on finding clear skies and real aurora visibility — backed by our simple promise: No aurora = No payment. We do not follow fixed loops, we chase conditions. Each night our route is planned from scratch using cloud data, solar forecasts, and road access so we can position ourselves in the best possible viewing locations. If the skies are open 120 km away, that’s where we go. On larger departures, we operate with a warm and comfortable heated coach bus and multiple guides to ensure smooth coordination, guest support, and photography assistance throughout the night.
All departures are led by a trained Aurora photographer who documents the night with professional DSLR equipment and sends the edited photos digitally after the tour. Throughout the experience we keep you comfortable with warm berry juice and snacks served at our viewing spot.

Amazing Aurora Tour with Wonderful Guides

5.00Arrtu and Tino were such amazing guides! My friend and I joined the tour for two days, and we were lucky enough to see the Northern Lights on both days. The aurora on the second night was especially breathtaking—truly unforgettable. The cookies and juice they provided were also delicious, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!
An unfrogettable memory

Small group Northern Lights tour

5.00I went on two small-group Northern Lights tours this week, both led by Romain who was a fantastic guide. The first night was very cloudy so we had a long drive to Sweden in search of clearer skies. We were only able to see a hint of aurora that night, nature can be unpredictable. I booked a second tour two nights later & got to witness a Northern Lights display that was more incredible than anything I ever could have imagined. A true once in a lifetime experience, shared with a small group of other tourists who were equally in awe of what we witnessed. I didn't take a single photo the whole night - Romain had got that covered. He took fantastic photos which captured memories & allowed us to fully experience the magic we were seeing. These were shared with us very quickly afterwards. Romain took us to a quiet spot & while waiting for the aurora to appear, we all stood and watched shooting stars and the milky way. It was very special. I'm very glad I booked a second tour after the first quieter night. I'd recommend Polar Lapland small group tours to anyone visiting Rovaniemi - you never know what you might get to see. Thanks a million for everything Romain!

5.00I know it’s been a lot of luck, but it’s been a really good experience for us! He took me deep into the mountains by car and spent about four hours watching it. I could barely understand the English explanation, but it was totally fine because they were very close. The best part is that the guide will give you the last picture that was taken with a professional camera!
A guarantee indeed!!!
