This is a real Northern Lights hunting experience, not a short sightseeing tour.
Weather conditions in Lapland change fast, and seeing the Aurora Borealis often requires flexibility and driving outside the city area. Our experienced guides monitor weather forecasts and Aurora activity in real time and adapt the route accordingly, choosing locations with the best possible conditions on each night.

Unlike fixed-route tours, we do not visit the same locations every night. Each tour is planned individually based on current weather conditions, cloud coverage and Aurora activity, which means some nights are easier and found closer to Rovaniemi, while other nights require more patience and distance.
Aurora Borealis is a natural phenomenon and can never be guaranteed, but this real hunting experience focuses on making the right decisions based on experience, weather and timing.
The tour is operated by Northern Lights Tours Rovaniemi Oy and delivered under the Arktictopia brand.
