“The tour was great and well organised, pick-up location is in the city centre which was a 2 minute walk from my apartment. The BBQ included- reindeer sausages or corn and marshmallows and ginger cookies, they also provided hot juice. We had a clear night but the aurora activity was looking low, however we waited and managed to see and capture the northern lights. The photographer did a great job capturing memories for everyone. We definitely stayed longer than advertised which ensured everyone got photos. The price was great, and the tour guides are very friendly thanks to Irene, Simona and Alex. Special thanks to Eva for capturing our memories…”

Join Arctic Timetravels for a three-hour Aurora hunt from Saariselkä. Guides such as Ivan, Mikke, Eugene, and Amar use weather and cloud conditions to choose viewing spots, rather than waiting in one place. Hotel pickup, warm drinks, snacks, and professional photos are included.

“Something like this, where it’s luck dependant, will obviously heavily affect how you rate this your. Luckily for my booking (which I booked 2hrs before start time) we saw northern lights at all of our stops. They were absolutely beautiful, the tour was well organised - we have a lovely hot juice (maybe lingonberry?) and the frozen lake was 100% the best part. It was -20C so I cannot stress how important it is to wrap up warm, especially hands and feet! We spent quite a while at each spot to allow us to get lots of content! Our guide was brilliant and took loads of photos of each of…”

After everyone left…”

Join Beyond Arctic for a small-group aurora hunt from Rovaniemi. With up to eight people, a professional photographer, private viewing sites, warm gear, and edited photos included, guides such as Leevi, Markus, and Aleksi use live forecasts to chase clear skies and stronger aurora chances.

“The tour has been really wonderful and Fin, our guide, was really prepared and kind. We have been really lucky because at the beginning of the tour the weather was good and we succeeded in seeing the Northern Light in a wonderful place. It was fantastic! Later the weather quickly changed but Fin tried to find other locations but without success. The experience closed with a very good sausage roasted on the fire and hot beverage in a cabin in the wood. Thank you all for this unforgettable night!! We wish you all the best and an Happy New Year!Read more”

“One the best activities of our trip! We initially went to a beautiful place where the sky, the trees and the snow were creating a magical scenery. After a while, we saw the lights. That made the scenery even more magical! After that, we went to a different place where we saw the phenomenon in its greatness. The lights were upon our heads, extremely bright and dancing! Many thanks to our great guide, Roman! He really knew where and when to go and we think we saw what we saw because of his experience. He also explained us everything about the northern lights and last but not least he took…”

Travel by bus from Levi with an English-speaking photo guide such as Antoine or Adrien, stopping at several dark Lappish viewpoints. Learn camera settings, warm up with hot drinks and gingerbread, and receive guide-taken photos to download after the tour.

“Overall great experience ticking off the Northern Lights from our bucket list thanks to our guide Adrien. Easy booking, clear guidance for starting the tour and optional warm clothes. Private tour as we had no other co-travellers. Adrien was very good at hunting Northern Lights and skilled at taking great pictures with his DSLR camera (sent us all within 24 hours). Despite fluctuating forecast before the tour we saw Northern Lights from 5 different locations - each more breathtaking than the previous (of course more impressive in the photos). Adrien kindly dropped us to our hotel at 12:00 midnight rather than the Safartica office as scheduled. A minor suggestion for…”

Travel by minivan from Levi with an English-speaking photography guide, often visiting two or three dark-sky locations. You will get camera help, a tripod or phone mount, hot drinks, and edited photos. Heidi has led memorable nights as far as Pallas National Park.

“We, all three of us had a wonderful time. Heidi our guide was fantastic. She took us to lots of places to see the Aurora, being unsuccessful only on the first stop. All our stops after that after driving a considerable distance away from Levi were absolutely incredible. The photography side was brilliant, her knowing the techniques required to make absolutely stunning images of us surrounded by the Aurora. The warm juice, cookies and marshmallows provided were a welcome treat. She also went the extra mile in helping us lay the ashes of our dear departed Jon., whose spirit will forever be below this incredible natural phenomena. This trip was…”
