Northern Lights from Rovaniemi: The 15 Best Tours

225 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.5 average  ·  from $68

Rovaniemi throws enough street light that the first twenty minutes of any aurora night is just getting out of it. These 15 are compared on where they take you, how long they stay out and whether the guide is willing to rewrite the route at nine in the evening when the cloud moves.

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 3,836 reviews · 8 hours · from $164Our pick

Rovaniemi Northern Lights hunt in a max 8-person 2025 4x4 van, with guaranteed viewing or refund and pro aurora DSLR photos.

“An absolutely unforgettable experience! Our guide was outstanding — incredibly knowledgeable and clearly knew exactly where to go to find the best conditions. She drove us for hours to reach a spot with a perfectly clear sky, and the effort was more than worth it: we were treated to the most spectacular aurora we had ever seen. The guide also took some truly beautiful photos with the aurora as a backdrop, which was a wonderful bonus to take home. The transportation was comfortable and top-notch throughout. If you're thinking about an aurora chase, this is the one to book — we couldn't have asked for more!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,321 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $228Top rated

Northern Lights tour from Rovaniemi with unlimited time, unlimited mileage, winter gear, and hotel pickup for a small group of up to 8.

“Try not to eat much some hours before the pick up. It’s lot of driving with no bathroom available along the way. If you can, take an emergency kit with you. The only place to use as bathroom is behind the trees or behind the vehicle. It’s the road and trees on your right and left in the middle of the darkness as it should be. Just like going to camping, Other than that , it is an unforgettable experience. Robin, our guide was amazing all the time, giving scientific information about why the lights occur and looking for the best place to find them.”

“It was an amazing night and we saw the lights the whole night! Our tour guide Jeremy was great and flexible, pivoting quickly to find spots to view the lights, everywhere! He was also super friendly and accommodating to my kids even though the tour we chose is not the “family friendly version” one, since we wanted to focus on being able to view the lights! He specially prepared a toy companion for them, marshmallows for them for the campfire, and even going above and beyond and sending us all the way back to our resort! Great experience and highly recommend!”

“For me this is the best tour I have ever had here in Rovaniemi. From the driver to the tour guide. What I like most is that we went there in a small group by minivan, very comfortable. They know where you can best see the Northern Lights. I can't imagine I'll see it with the naked eye. For me it's like a dream come true. We grilled with sausages and drink their delicious juice. And the best part is that we took the best photos there with their own special camera. Thank you for the memories! I will definitely return to Rovaniemi.”

We found the Aurora 3.5hrs in, and then Ali was determined to get the big one. Ali even arranged to meet up with a bigger tour bus to provide bathroom facilities for my wife. We were both impressed with Ali’s dedication and service. Thank you for making it quite the experience, Ali.”

“This was an unforgettable experience and a true dream come true. We traveled in a small group of 9 people in a comfortable, warm minibus. On the way to the first location, we already stopped to see the Northern Lights and take our first photos. The highlight was the second spot by a lake, where there was no light pollution from cars or the road. We arrived right at the peak of the aurora, when it was incredibly intense and bright. Because the group was small, we had plenty of time to take as many photos as we wanted using a professional camera, which made the experience even more special.”
