Rovaniemi aurora tour review covering the 100% refund promise, long-distance hunting, free photos, guides, timing, comfort, and value.

“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.”

2.Rovaniemi Northern Lights Photography Small-Group Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 409 reviews · 5 to 7 hours (approx.) · from $176

Review of Rovaniemi’s small-group Northern Lights photography tour, with aurora chasing, warm gear, campfire snacks, photos, and practical booking advice.

“The problem was not that we didn’t see the lights. It was that they KNEW we wouldn’t because of the cloudy cover, but despite that, they offered no refund (not even a partial one) and no option to cancel. Just before we left the office, the guide said that the chance was low, but again, offered no alternative. Making a fire and having some snacks was not what I signed up for. Also, despite advertising a hotel pick up, I was asked to come to their office. It wasn’t far, but still, not very professional.”

Review of Rovaniemi’s small-group reindeer farm tour with a photographer, including sleigh ride, photos, farm visit, price, and practical tips.

“This was great!!There isnt a lot of time with reindeer but we got more than most tours.We got to watch them 15 mins wild while they give a talk,then go a short reindeer ride (minutes), then a 30 mins inside talk then most people got to pet 2 reindeer for a few mins.We got to move around extra while waiting for the ride (there were other groups there)& got posed photos on the frozen ice.It was so so cold watching so the wild reindeer was long enough & a longer ride would have been cold(it was -35!)but I could see people being disappointed that it was short. After everyone left…”

“Even though solar activity was good that night, cloud coverage was high around Rovaniemi and hence our guide drove 450km one way to find a place with no clouds and gave us a once in a lifetime opportunity to witness the magic in the sky. His efforts were tremendous and his humour during the journey was amazing. And the auroras made the trip unforgettable.”

Review of Rovaniemi’s small-group Northern Lights photography tour, with expert guides, private viewing spots, photos, warm gear, and BBQ snacks.

“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”

Review of Rovaniemi's Aurora Hunting Tour, with local guides, professional photos, Lappish barbecue, flexible routes, and honest advice.

“Pekka and his partner were the nicest people! Our chances of seeing the aurora was minimal in two of the days we rescheduled but they kept me updated till the last moment and said “Ok tonight we ll see them!”. They picked us up from our accommodation and drove to this beautiful frozen lake, around 30 km from Rovaniemi. They werent in a rush, we had a wonderful barbecue, we talked about northern lights and living in such a different environment. We had a little open hut where they did a fire and we had amazing food and drinks. Plenty of time for pictures and just admiring the beautiful aurora.…”

Review of Rovaniemi’s small-group Northern Lights hunt, with Sweden drives, free DSLR photos, local guides, and a money-back guarantee.

“Incredibly communicative from start to finish, plus an expert guide (Arttu) who knew just where to go. Northern lights tours can be real nerve-wracking because conditions change on a dime, and after two tours with other companies panned out I wasn't optimistic. But our guide explained the situation, taught us about the science behind the phenomenon, and got us to an amazing location where after about two hours we were treated to the most extraordinary show imaginable. The pictures are jaw-dropping, but there's nothing like seeing it with your own eyes. We just stood there and watched the show in amazement and real awe. It was truly unforgettable. Thanks to…”

Hunt the Northern Lights from Levi with expert photo guides, warm drinks, Lappish wilderness stops, and shared aurora photos.

“We saw the northern lights! A tip: make sure you download an aurora alert app before you book an activity like this. We were lucky to witness the aurora for at least an hour. The tour overall is okay, there were two French guides who were responsible for our group of 30 people. They took photos with their DSLR cameras and promptly uploaded the photos for us to download.”

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 116 reviews · 3 hours · from $135

See Saariselkä’s northern lights by car, with hotel transfers, hot drinks, gingerbread, warm clothes, and tour photos included.

“Unfortunately, the tour was disappointing. We did see the aurora; however, the driver didn’t show much enthusiasm, only driving for a while and stopping in a lay-by next to the road. There was some aurora activity, but the high tension cables above spoiled the occasion (as they would interfere with the view and -of course- with the pictures). The driver commented that “we don’t need to go elsewhere: we’ll see the same lights” (i’m paraphrasing, but that was the message). We knew that, but a search for a picturesque scenario (eg, the frozen lake Ukonjarvi ) would have made for a much better experience than stopping at the side of…”
