Explore the lights, legends, and wilderness of Rovaniemi

Experience nature's light show – Northern Lights in the tranquil wilderness of Rovaniemi, Finland with an intimate small-group tour. Limited to 8 guests, this tour offers a personalized experience under the glittering Arctic skies, far from the city's light pollution. Delve into the serene forests with a knowledgeable guide to unravel the science behind the magical Aurora Borealis and its significance in the local Sami and Lappish cultures. The Northern Lights are caused by the collision of gaseously charged particles from the sun that enter the Earth's atmosphere. Expect to see hues of red, green, blue, and purple as you chase them. Also, the Northern Lights can make a sound! Some observers from Finland have reported hearing a slight clapping sound, a phenomenon confirmed in 2012 by Finnish researchers. So, keep your eyes and ears open!

More than just a viewing party!

The tour promises a comfortable journey into the Finnish winter with warm clothes and boots. Tailor your adventure with various ticket options! Sip on hot traditional Finnish blueberry juice, a delightful treat in the cold. The icing on the cake? A professional photographer will snap away, capturing your incredible Northern Lights moments. And after the tour, these stunning snaps will be emailed to you, adding a tangible memento to your unforgettable experience.
