Extremely disappointed
I had booked in July for one person. The reservation was confirmed and payment accepted. In December, 3 days before I send a message to confirm the schedule. No answer, I call the next day no answer. The morning of the excursion he sends a message cancelling my excursion because he does not do it for a single person (whereas he before confirmed!). He sends me another message to tell me to find another provider or pay for two!!!! (i.e. 240 euros). Another provider could not be found at that time. I want to see the Northern Lights so much, he offers me a discount and pay after 190 euros. It was snowing and he probably knew that we would not see the Northern Lights given the very overcast weather. Two hours looking around, and nothing but a net that only he sees. He didn’t explain anything to me about the Northern Lights phenomenon except to talk about solar flares, he tried to place his Airbnb so that I would prolong my stay. This service provider does not belong on Tripadvisor, it is expensive compared to the others. He is not a real guide for me. Very disappointed, it taught me a lesson, and the lack of reviews since late 2023 explains many things. Try with serious providers who cancel or postpone the booking if the weather is bad. Or even alone you can find them in clear skies.
Response from the operator: Tout d'abord, merci de montrer aux gens qui vous êtes. oui, nous avons annulé votre visite car vous ne pouvez pas participer à une visite privée pour une personne et payer 120 € (ce qui ne couvre pas le temps et le coût pour votre plaisir.. vous n'êtes pas le président de la Finlande. Vous avez passé une nuit avant une autre visite avec une société différente, pourquoi n'avez-vous pas réservé à nouveau avec eux ? pourquoi avez-vous insisté pour réserver et payer pour 2 personnes, car c'est le minimum pour la visite pour couvrir nos dépenses. vous n'avez toujours pas payé le plein tarif pour 2 personnes. vous avez reçu remise et flexibilité..Vous ne parlez pas anglais et vous avez quand même reçu toutes les informations pour la visite et pendant la visite (conversations normales) C'est vous qui avez insisté pour la visite et nous vous avons parlé dès le début du phénomène, de la météo et des chances de le voir et vous avez toujours insisté. Vous n'avez jamais mentionné ce qui vous dérangeait pendant la tournée et à la finale vous avez dit que tout allait bien et vous avez serré la main. Cela signifie que vous avez de sérieux problèmes ou peut-être que vous avez été payé pour faire cela et écrire des choses misérables qui ne reflètent pas la réalité. nous avons conduit loin de la ville à différents endroits comme nous le faisons toujours. oui, nous ne restons pas pour faire un barbecue au même endroit comme le fait votre autre fournisseur juste pour augmenter vos chances, mais nous ne sommes toujours pas des magiciens et vous supposez que lorsque vous réservez, de plus, nous avons toujours été honnêtes et vous avez été informé de tout. Attendez-vous une leçon de 2 heures sur les phénomènes physiques et les réactions chimiques ? allez à l'école, commencez à lire des livres..vous avez reçu les informations principales sur ce que signifient les aurores boréales + quelques histoires locales..donc vous avez définitivement de gros problèmes ou des facteurs externes si vous proposez une critique comme celle-ci. Pourquoi seul le vôtre est comme ça ?? regardez autour de vous.. personne n'a écrit quelque chose comme ça à part vous ! N'oubliez pas, nous avons toutes les conversations avec vous et les enregistrements, nous pouvons prouver à tout moment que vous êtes faux. Cordialement, allez chez le médecin pour votre propre bien.

A very memorable experience
This was a really personal and unique Northern Lights tour, for very positive reasons. Our guide was experienced, authentic, knowledgeable and we came away with a real understanding of Finland. We even managed a late night visit to the angry birds playground for our kids who had sat very patiently in the tour vehicle. We wished we had booked all our activities through this team. Thank you.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind review. We had great time together and hope to see you again! Great guest's, lovely family! Best Regards!

We had a very pleasant experience. We were not lucky to see the aurora boreal because the weather was cloudy. Our guide tried to take us to various places. The tour was pleasant and we had fun, a very friendly Service. We recommend it. They reserved extra time for us.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kindness.It was a pleasure.Looking forward to see you again. Best Regards!

Why this scores 49
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Northern Lights Hunting Tour Rovaniemi: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rovaniemi.
How much does Northern Lights Hunting Tour Rovaniemi cost?
+
Prices start at $89 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 Northern Lights Hunting Tour Rovaniemi take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Northern Lights Hunting Tour Rovaniemi worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Rovaniemi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Northern Lights Hunting Tour Rovaniemi?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Northern Lights Hunting Tour Rovaniemi suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Northern Lights Hunting Tour Rovaniemi?
+
Around 2 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Northern Lights Hunting Tour Rovaniemi 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.
