I just wanted to thank you for an unforgettable experience on the northern lights tour. From the warm welcome to the amazing Portuguese couple who guided us, everything was perfect. They shared great stories that made the experience even more special, and the BBQ was fantastic! We were lucky enough to see the northern lights, which was the highlight of the trip. I truly appreciate everything and would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a unique adventure.

High on Lapland lights

This 3-hour Northern Lights chase is your passport to witness the mesmerizing Aurora Borealis, far from the city's light pollution. Guided by an English-speaking maestro (with options for other languages), you'll dive into the fascinating folklore and science behind this celestial spectacle. No worries about reaching the venue with pick-up and drop-off services from your hotel within a 15km radius of Rovaniemi city center. You'll also be equipped with snug winter gear, including overalls and boots to keep you warm in the freezing Lapland temperatures.

Taste of tradition and picture-perfect memories

Watch the sky dance with colors as the serene lakeside becomes a spectacle of ethereal beauty. The journey pairs a divine spectacle with a taste of tradition at a cozy campfire barbecue. Lose yourself in the flavors of local delicacies like pork/reindeer sausage, Lappish bread, salmon soup, and marshmallows, complemented by hot blueberry juice. Dietary requests? We've got you covered with vegetarian and vegan alternatives. Capture this surreal experience with professional photography services, an optional upgrade, and leave with frame-worthy shots against the glowing Aurora.
