    What you'll see and do

    1. Rovaniemi

      You will be taken on a northern lights hunt with a professional photographer in a spacious van. (Comfort is important for road trips, as we travel at least 50 km—but usually around 120 km one way—to find the darkest spot.) A delicious Finnish Sandwich and berry tea are on the menu for the night to satisfy your hunger. Since our priority is finding a clear spot for the northern lights, we don’t set up a barbecue for unnecessary sausages. Based heavily on cloud coverage and solar wind data, you may visit 2 to 3 different viewpoints from the 100 we have mapped, discovered all across Finnish and Swedish Lapland. Some say it’s a nice road trip; others call it a true northern lights hunt. Due to weather conditions, we always send an information email to our guests by 13:00 at the latest on the day of the tour. Sometimes, we may need to depart 1 hour earlier or later to find better weather. Our tours usually start between 18:30 and 19:00 and end around 01:00 to 03:00.

    Best experience!

    Had an amazing experience with this team, we went in April knowing v well that the chances are slim due to not so dark sky and overcast but I’m so glad i chose these people! They welcome you, explain in simple terms how northern lights work, dampen your expectations (best thing to do) and take you to the best spots with clear skies full of stars! It was so beautiful even before the lights display and when the show started, it was surreal. This experience is better to do it with a team that is passionate and enjoys the aurora just as much and talks about it endlessly!! And just when you are contempt, they’ll provide hot juice and some snacks and play the best songs ever ❤️ We were lucky to see the lights close to rovaniemi but this team would drive you as long as they can and give their 200% until they find the clear skies!! Just go with them, thanks Rasa and Emin for the unforgettable experience. I hope you continue this for a loooong time :)

    Magical

    Emin was an amazing tour guide for our Northern Lights experience! He is incredibly sweet, friendly, and made everyone feel comfortable from the start. He explained everything in great detail, from the science behind the auroras to the best ways to spot them, which made the whole experience even more special. His patience and enthusiasm really stood out, and he went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a memorable time. Highly recommend him!

    Rovaniemi:%100 Guaranteed Northern Lights Hunt&Free Photos: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Rovaniemi:%100 Guaranteed Northern Lights Hunt&Free Photos cost?

    +

    Prices start at $119 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 Rovaniemi:%100 Guaranteed Northern Lights Hunt&Free Photos take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 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 Rovaniemi:%100 Guaranteed Northern Lights Hunt&Free Photos worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 94 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 625 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Rovaniemi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Rovaniemi:%100 Guaranteed Northern Lights Hunt&Free Photos?

    +

    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 Rovaniemi:%100 Guaranteed Northern Lights Hunt&Free Photos suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Rovaniemi:%100 Guaranteed Northern Lights Hunt&Free Photos?

    +

    Around 219 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Rovaniemi:%100 Guaranteed Northern Lights Hunt&Free Photos 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, Northern Lights Photography Hunting Experience in Rovaniemi. 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.
