    Northern Lights tour

    Amazing experience, our guide Thomas made the evening. He was experienced, knowledgeable and successfully hunted down the northern lights. It was great having a small group of 8. The spot we stopped for photos and the bonfire was perfect, I would recommend this tour company and guide.

    Great experience in Lapland

    We took two aurora tours with Wild about Lapland (one that lasted 7 hours and the other one that lasted 4 hours). In the first tour which lasted 7 hours we could see some northern lights. Although we have not seen them so clearly, our guide did his best to drive us as far as possible to places (until the Russian border) where we had a certain amount of probability to see the northern lights. The second tour that lasted 4 hours was amazing as we could see them very clearly after a 1 hour drive and the pics we took were stunning. In total, we were very happy with both tours due to the efforts taken by the tour guides.

    They made our dreams come true

    With clouds above us my sister and I never thought we would see the northern lights but our guide Matus drove us 3-3.5 hrs away from Rovaniemi to spot clear skies. And then the magic was right above our heads, a day that we will never forget. We recommend taking the longer tour with WildAboutLapland for better chances, they do everything to make your dreams come true.

    Response from the operator: Dear Manju, Thank you for this wonderful review about your Northern Lights tour with Wild About Lapland. We are happy that you managed to see this beautiful natural phenomenon with Matus! We hope to welcome you back in the future! Warm regards, Dominik Wild About Lapland

    Amazing

    The highlight of our trip to Lapland was definitely this tour. They gave us all the required information and tools to go on the tour. Zhania, our guide, was excellent. She was extremely considerate of each participant's needs and always responded to our inquiries and interests. She led us to two locations where we could take in this natural wonder while she took countless pictures of the entire group. Highly recommended. 10/10

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your nice review and kind words about Zhaniya! We are happy to hear that your Northern Lights experience with Wild About Lapland was memorable and we hope to welcome you back in the future! Warm regards, Dominik Wild About Lapland

    The tour you must do!

    Absolutely amazing experience! We did a small group tour with Micheal as our guide, super friendly and knowledgeable. Was a cloudy overcast night and he persisted and persisted at multiple spot, until we got excellent views and photos of the Aurora and northern lights. All gear was included as well as dinner and snacks. Excellent experience would highly recommended.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for this wonderful review and your kind words. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed Northern Lights tour with us! Welcome back anytime in the future! Warm regards, Dominik Wild About Lapland

    Guaranteed Northern Lights Hunting Adventure in Lapland: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rovaniemi.

    How much does Guaranteed Northern Lights Hunting Adventure in Lapland cost?

    +

    Prices start at $179 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rovaniemi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Guaranteed Northern Lights Hunting Adventure in Lapland take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rovaniemi is not rushed.

    Is Guaranteed Northern Lights Hunting Adventure in Lapland worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 22 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rovaniemi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Guaranteed Northern Lights Hunting Adventure in Lapland?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Guaranteed Northern Lights Hunting Adventure in Lapland suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Guaranteed Northern Lights Hunting Adventure in Lapland?

    +

    Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rovaniemi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rovaniemi and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Guaranteed Northern Lights Hunting Adventure in Lapland start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rovaniemi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Rovaniemi?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Rovaniemi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Northern Lights Rovaniemi: Guaranteed Viewing & Unlimited Mileage, Rovaniemi: Korouoma Canyon & Frozen Waterfalls Tour with BBQ, Rovaniemi:%100 Guaranteed Northern Lights Hunt&Free Photos. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Rovaniemi?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Rovaniemi?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
