A real Northern Lights hunt, led by a local team from Rovaniemi. All of our guides are locals. They do the driving, know Lapland’s roads and weather, and live for nights like this.
If we do not capture the Northern Lights on camera during your tour, you get a full refund.
THE CHASE: NO FIXED ROUTE
We track cloud cover, solar activity and road conditions right up to departure, then chase the clear sky in a heated coach, wherever it is. When needed, we cross into Sweden.
YOUR NIGHT, CAPTURED
Your guide shoots the whole night with professional camera gear. You get every photo afterwards, at no extra cost. Hot berry juice and biscuits are served at the viewing spot.
DURATION AND START TIME
Usually 4 to 6 hours. If staying out longer improves your chances, we stay. Start time is between 18:00 and 21:00, confirmed by email at 15:00 on the tour day.

Join a local team from Rovaniemi on a Northern Lights hunt built around one goal: finding clear skies and getting you under the aurora. Our promise is simple. If we do not capture the Northern Lights, you get 100% of your money back. There is no set route. Every evening we plan the night from zero, reading cloud cover, solar activity and road conditions, then drive to wherever the sky is open. If that means 120 km in one direction, or crossing the border into Sweden, that is where we go. You travel in a heated coach with several guides on board, so there is always someone to help, answer questions and get you set up for photos. A trained aurora photographer shoots the whole night with professional gear, and the photos are emailed to you after the tour, free of charge. Hot berry juice and snacks are served at the viewing spot. Start times follow the forecast, usually between 18:00 and 21:00. We confirm the exact time by email at 15:00 on the day of your tour.
