What To Expect
Rovaniemi
You will be taken on a northern lights hunt with a professional photographer in a spacious van. (Comfort is important for road trips, as we travel at least 50 km—but usually around 120 km one way—to find the darkest spot.) A delicious Finnish Sandwich and berry tea are on the menu for the night to satisfy your hunger. Since our priority is finding a clear spot for the northern lights, we don’t set up a barbecue for unnecessary sausages. Based heavily on cloud coverage and solar wind data, you may visit 2 to 3 different viewpoints from the 100 we have mapped, discovered all across Finnish and Swedish Lapland. Some say it’s a nice road trip; others call it a true northern lights hunt. Due to weather conditions, we always send an information email to our guests by 13:00 at the latest on the day of the tour. Sometimes, we may need to depart 1 hour earlier or later to find better weather. Our tours usually start between 18:30 and 19:00 and end around 01:00 to 03:00.

Emin took various memorable photos that we will never forget in out life. We spent more than 5 hours even tough we found spots and lights less than 30 mins. Emin did not quit. Emin helped us to take various photos and experience various different light shows Emin is best for entertainment, finding right spots, professional photos and friendly atmosphere

5.00We had an absolutely unforgettable Northern Lights experience with Lapin Taivas, and I can’t recommend them highly enough! 🌌✨ From the very beginning, everything was perfectly organized, smooth, and stress-free. We joined the tour as a family with a child, and honestly, this was one of the most comfortable and family-friendly tours we’ve ever experienced. Our guide, Emin, was simply fantastic — incredibly kind, patient, positive, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He made everyone feel relaxed and welcome right away. Traveling with kids in Arctic conditions can sometimes be challenging, but thanks to Emin’s attentiveness and thoughtful approach, we felt completely at ease the whole time. He checked on us frequently, made sure we stayed warm and comfortable, and created such a friendly, cozy atmosphere that the entire evening felt magical rather than stressful. And of course — the Northern Lights themselves were breathtaking! Seeing them dance across the sky was truly a once-in-a-lifetime moment for our family. What made it even more special was that Emin captured absolutely stunning professional photos for us. These pictures are priceless memories that we will cherish forever. Beyond the lights, the entire experience felt personal, warm, and authentic — not rushed or commercial at all. You can really tell that this team cares deeply about giving guests a meaningful and memorable experience. If you are considering a Northern Lights tour, especially as a family with children, Lapin Taivas is the perfect choice. Thank you again to Emin for making this such a magical, comfortable, and unforgettable adventure for us! 💫

5.00An unforgettable experience! The guide Yahya was very kind and passionate about his work. He tried hard to ensure we had a wonderful time and captured the most amazing images of the Northern Lights. He transported us to different spots and did his best to show us this natural phenomenon at its finest. Thank you—it was definitely worthwhile!

5.00Our guide, Fatih, was very cheerful and made the experience fun and exciting for us. He knew the best ways to photograph the Northern Lights beautifully, so we were able to take better pictures than we could have on our own. It became an amazing and unforgettable memory. I’m very grateful to Fatih for driving long hours and taking us there!

5.00Fantastic experience. Rasa set expectations clearly from the start and the team put in huge effort to find the best viewing location. After a 2.5-hour drive north, we were rewarded with an unforgettable natural light show. Seeing it live is something we’ll never forget, highly recommended.
We saw them!

5.00The Northern Lights tour with Emin and Fatih was absolutely amazing. From the very beginning, they were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and professional. You could immediately tell that they genuinely care about giving their guests the best possible experience. They took us to a fantastic location, far away from city lights, where we were finally able to see the Northern Lights clearly — even with the naked eye. It was truly magical. We had been quite disappointed because we couldn’t see the aurora on a previous tour, so this experience meant even more to us. Thanks to Emin and Fatih, that disappointment completely turned into excitement and pure joy. The whole evening was well organized, relaxed, and a lot of fun. They created such a positive atmosphere that we felt comfortable the entire time. Their knowledge, patience, and dedication really made a difference. It was an unforgettable and beautiful experience, and we had so much fun. If we ever go on another Northern Lights hunt, we would definitely choose Emin and Fatih again — without hesitation. Highly recommended!

5.00Highly recommend Latin Taivas. We had a fantastic trip with Yahya. Throughout the day the communication was really good. Because of the changing forecasts the pick up time had to be amended but we were informed regularly as to what was going on. After being picked up at 5:45, Yahya told us we were going 2 hours south as that had a similar risk profile to 4 hours north and the drive time was better. We headed to a briefing with the other vans and given an explanation of the lights, how they work, what we might see and where we were going. At that point they explained the forecast had shifted and we were indeed going 4 hours north. I really appreciated being told where we were going and why, and they clearly didn’t just stick to a plan. About 1 hour into our drive, we got a call from another guide who said we might get lucky 2 hours north. We made a stop and got the briefest of shows, before quickly being bundled back in the van to drive another 15 minutes to where we got the main experience. We stayed for about an hour, treated to what the guides said was a 6-6.5/10 lights experience. If what we got was 6-6.5, I can’t imagine what a 10 would look like. Food and hot drinks were provided and then we made one more stop in the hope that they might reappear. They didn’t, so we made the 2 hour drive back. We had such a great time and would highly recommend Yahya and his colleagues, who were friendly, engaging and professional throughout.
Looking for him won't be wrong!
