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.

The tour was absolutely wonderful
Best tour ever! Despite the bad weather, the guide went above and beyond to find great spots for photos and videos. The warm tea was also lovely. I highly recommend this tour to everyone. Thank you for the unforgettable experience!

More Than a Tour – A Magical Night Thanks to Kun's Dedication
Our tour with Kun from Nordies Tour was absolutely breathtaking. Kun is a true professional whose passion for the Northern Lights is so admirable. His warmth and kindness made us feel valued from start to finish. To ensure we had the best possible view, Kun didn’t hesitate to drive for hours, even reaching the border to find perfectly clear skies. The educational and engaging science behind the aurora was perfectly matched by the incredible photography, making both the highlights of our night. With a small group of only eight people, Kun ensured everyone had multiple incredible portraits and videos. He is a perfectionist with the camera, and the results were flawless. The 'Unlimited Pro Photos' promise is real. Thank you so much, Kun and Nordies Tour! I will book with them every single time I return to Rovaniemi.

great guide, highly recommend!
I had such a great experience on this aurora hunting tour. From the beginning, communication was super easy — the guide was very responsive, quick, and gave really detailed information, which honestly made me choose this tour over others. He was also very punctual, which I very much appreciate. The trip itself was everything I’d been hoping for — seeing the aurora felt like a dream come true. The photos turned out amazing, and the warm drinks and snacks were such a nice, thoughtful touch. You can really tell he puts in a lot of effort and cares about the experience. Would definitely recommend!

Best Aurora Tour ✨
The Aurora Tour was a wonderful experience! Kun was very kind and truly professional! He found the perfect place to see the aurora even though it was very cloudy. He is a very skilled photographer and he took many pictures and videos of us! I really enjoyed his tour so I even joined a second time! If I went to Rovaniemi again someday I would definitely go with this tour again! I highly recommend this aurora tour :)

Why this scores 88
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 $65 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 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 80 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.
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 28 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: 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.
