Rovaniemi: Northern Lights Tour – 100% Guarantee & Photos

4.8 (2529 verified reviews)

About This Experience

This is not a typical Northern Lights coach trip. Instead of following a fixed route and hoping the sky clears, your guides study live cloud radar, solar-wind readings and real-time aurora forecasts every evening, then choose the single best direction to drive — up to 200 km if that's what it takes to reach clear skies and active lights.

The tour only runs on nights when there is a genuine chance of seeing the aurora, and it deliberately avoids the crowded mass-tourism viewpoints. Once your guide finds a dark, clear spot with the lights overhead, the group stays put — no unnecessary driving, no missed moments.

Your guide is also a Northern Lights photographer who positions the group and captures free professional photos of you under the aurora, so you leave with images as well as memories. And the guarantee is simple: if no Northern Lights are captured on camera during your tour, you receive a 100% money-back refund.

What Travelers Say

Rated 4.8/5 by 2529 verified GetYourGuide travelers.

The tour was amazing! We got to see powerful solar activity - Aurora - so well! Honestly I went with low expectations because of so much variable factors, but the actual viewing wete beyond anything I could have imagined. I liked the fact that they moved the time from 8PM to 10PM because it would still be light out at 8PM. The guides Luca and Max were great. In fact they were more enthusiastic tha
