Northern Lights Rovaniemi: Guaranteed Viewing & Unlimited Mileage

2.Northern Lights Rovaniemi: Guaranteed Viewing & Unlimited Mileage

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

You’ll leave Rovaniemi around 7 pm with up to seven other people, warm winter gear, hotel pickup, and a guide who tracks cloud and aurora conditions through the night. Guides such as Dylan, Aneeq, Beata, and Julia have driven far beyond town, sometimes into Sweden, to find clearer skies. Expect long hours in a vehicle, limited bathroom stops, and no absolute promise from nature.

“Lovely customer service team; however, I would like to note that 'unlimited mileage'/'guarantee' tour was cancelled on us twice, stating that the conditions for seeing the northern lights were unfavourable. Completely understand that weather does get in the way; however, the lack of attempt given the tour name was disappointing. After the rescheduled tour was cancelled again, we ended up booking last minute with another company (also unlimited mileage/guarantee) who took us out and well and truly lived up to the name. We ended up seeing the most amazing aurora, so I am glad we booked with them/didn't miss out during our trip!”

We started a bit earlier than planned to maximize our chances of seeing the aurora, and our guide regularly checked the weather forecast both before and during the trip to ensure the best opportunity to catch the lights. Thanks to our expert guide, we were treated to an incredible display of northern lights dancing in the sky. The entire experience was magical and something I’ll cherish forever. Our guide was knowledgeable, patient, and never rushed anyone. I highly recommend this tour—it’s truly the best you can book. I included pictures from our…”

We did get a little cold on our hands and feet when we had floated for 10+ minutes, so would definitely recommend thick gloves and socks underneath the suits.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 565 reviews · 4 to 6 hours (approx.) · from $129

Chase the Northern Lights from Rovaniemi with guides such as Ali, Luca, Julia, and Max, using live weather and solar data to reach clearer skies, sometimes across the border into Sweden. Expect 4 to 6 hours, hot juice, cookies, campfires when conditions allow, professional photos, and a full refund if no aurora is seen.

“I have been on several trips now, trying to catch the Aurora. This trip, with Book Lapland, was the biggest group I’ve gone with. That made me nervous. It’s more difficult to have decisions made, when you’re dealing with 35 guests. And I worried about what I would do if I had to use the toilet. As it turned out, there was no need for concern. Mirco, Max and Tony took great care of us all. We had a briefing before we left, letting everyone know that safety was the first concern, but also that the Aurora Hunt is truly a hunt, with no guarantee of seeing them. And then…”

Expect a flexible 6 to 10-hour chase, possibly across Finland’s borders, with warm drinks, snacks, thermal overalls, and included photos.

“This is the tour for you if you want to ensure you are able to see the northern lights on your trip. Ruy was a great guide in drove us about two hours just so we could see the northern lights. There was no chance of us being able to see them in Levi with the cloud cover. However, Ruy found 2-3 different locations so we’d have the opportunity to see them and take pictures. The van was nice and warm so we could get back in the van at any point to warm up between stepping out to see the lights and take photos. I will note that this…”
