What you'll see and do
Lapland
I will pick you up from your accommodation / pick up point selected by you. Once all the participants join the tour, I will explain Aurora Borealis (what it is and how it is formed), how to read solar wind data, and finally, where we will head to. I will bring you to the best spot(s) to view Aurora Borealis. The duration of the ride may vary from 30 mins to 4 hours, depending on the requirements on the very night. * I may stop the car time to time to check the conditions. As soon as I find a perfect spot for Aurora Borealis watching / Aurora Borealis is visible, I will stop the car. As I set up the camera, the photography session will begin. * If necessary we will need to change the Aurora Borealis watching spot once or multiple times during the tour. As the tour finishes, I will drive back to Rovaniemi and drop you off at your accommodation / drop off point selected by you. On the next day you will receive a link to the photos and videos in the highest quality.

Northern lights
Absolutely fantastic. Highly recommend Kun and Flavio from Nordies tour for their professionalism and attention to detail. We had a lot of fun watching amazing northern lights!

Awesome tour experience!
My wife and I went on a Northern Lights tour with Nordies Tour on September 14th, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Our guide, Kun, was fantastic! The aurora show that night was exceptionally good, but what really made the evening special was Kun’s dedication to the group. He is extremely knowledgeable, sharing great insights, and he constantly checked in on everyone to make sure we were staying warm in the cold weather. On top of that, Kun is an amazing photographer! He took plenty of stunning photos for us, capturing the magic of the lights perfectly so we could just relax and enjoy the moment. If you are looking for a reliable, professional, and genuinely caring guide in Lapland, I cannot recommend Kun and Nordies Tour enough!

Recommend
Kun was a great Tour Guide. He really seems like he knows what he’s doing and they try their best to show you the lights. The clouds fog and weather conditions are not under their control, but they really try their very best and give great service.

Best aurora hunter
Our experience with Kun was excellent. His great knowledge and dedication stand out, as he does everything possible to find the best auroras according to the forecast, and he doesn’t stop until he finds them. In addition, his involvement in photos and videos is outstanding, making you feel comfortable and helping you capture incredible memories. During the excursion, he was also very attentive, offering us hot drinks and cookies. Highly recommended.

Why this scores 85
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Rovaniemi: 5-star Northern Lights Hunting + Pro Photos & Videos: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rovaniemi.
How much does Rovaniemi: 5-star Northern Lights Hunting + Pro Photos & Videos cost?
+
Prices start at $160 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: 5-star Northern Lights Hunting + Pro Photos & Videos take?
+
Plan for about 4 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: 5-star Northern Lights Hunting + Pro Photos & Videos worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 82 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 Rovaniemi: 5-star Northern Lights Hunting + Pro Photos & Videos?
+
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: 5-star Northern Lights Hunting + Pro Photos & Videos suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Rovaniemi: 5-star Northern Lights Hunting + Pro Photos & Videos?
+
Around 29 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rovaniemi: 5-star Northern Lights Hunting + Pro Photos & Videos 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:%100 Guaranteed Northern Lights Hunt&Small Group, Rovaniemi: Korouoma Canyon & Frozen Waterfalls Tour with BBQ. 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.
