The 15 Best Northern Lights Tours in Rovaniemi

147 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.5 average  ·  from $81

No guide controls the sky, so what you are really buying is how hard they will chase it: how far the van goes, how small the group is, and whether you get your money back when the cloud wins. These 15 are compared on all three, with prices and pickup included.

Guaranteed Northern Lights group hunt in Rovaniemi with unlimited mileage, winter gear, and hotel pickup for up to 8 people.

“The northern lights experience was unforgettable and we saw a spectacular show of dancing lights. They are not as green as you see in the pictures but I am told that is simply because the eyes cannot process the colours at night. The one downside was that our guide did not seem to have much experience with the camera at all. All 150 “professional” photos of our group ended up either blurry, out of focus or over exposed. We will still have the memories of course but such a shame we cannot relive them in our pictures as we would like to.”

It took a while to see the northern lights but right at the end we saw some glimpses! Lea & Manpreet were really nice guides, gave us some information on how the lights work and made it a truly memorable experience. Thank you!”

“We had an incredible experience on this Northern Lights tour. Our guide, Sofian, was fantastic, knowledgeable, calm, and clearly very experienced at reading the conditions and knowing where to go. At the start, he explained that if needed we might have to drive all the way to northern Sweden and potentially be out very late, which we really appreciated for setting honest expectations and the tour messaged us the morning of to let us know of an earlier departure due to the long drive. In the end, the clouds cooperated and we were able to see amazing auroras about 40 minutes northwest of Rovaniemi, without needing to go that far…”
