A beautiful excursion!
Super dear owners! There were three of them yesterday and they did a really great job! My dream was fulfilled and I saw the Northern Lights! They entertained us very nicely all evening and told us a lot. She all the time you felt very comfortable. In addition, as many photos were taken of everyone as you liked. Can definitely recommend the tour!! Greetings, Evelyn

Best aurora experience with the best company in small group.
Pekka and Amanda are both lovely people, very kind, knowledgeable and professional. They worked hard all night to give us the best experience and record a wonderful aurora for 2 hours which Pekka managed to capture on his camera and Amanda also did wonderful time lapse video. They both knew exactly where to go to give us the best chance of seeing the aurora. We were well fed with food and drink throughout the evening and a warm fire was made early on so it was cozy. The pick up and drop off was very punctual and their vans are used for small groups only so it is a very enjoyable experience getting to know everyone. We did four different tours in Rovaniemi and I would recommend this company above all others.

Best aurora hunting trip and guide
We have tried to see the aurora 3 times and this time WE had a spectacular viewing. We were collected from the apartment at 7pm in a minivan with 6 guests there was another car with 4 guests. We drove out of Rovaniemi to a forest setting. We walked through snowy terrain to get to the viewing spot. The guide had a special camera that could see the aurora. It took a few hours for the aurora to develop but we could see with our eyes. He took a number of photographs of us with aurora behind. He was very knowledgeable and spoke about the stars even pointing out Mars and Saturn. We moved into a second location beside a frozen lake. The aurora looked different and was more vivid as the night developed. Very clear lines of green and red. Many photographs were taken standing on the lake wuth different views of the aurora. and sent to us. BBQ was set up and we toasted marshmallows hot dogs and Finnish porridge pastry whilst hearing about local knowledge and drinking Glugi to keep us warm. More pictures were taken as the aurora had developed more in the foreground but also enveloped all around and above us. This only happens about twice a month. Back to apartment at midnight. Would highly recommend this tour. Great value for money

Fantastic Aurora Hunt
Pekka was an excellent guide! Even though the weather conditions were not promising, Pekka took us on a great Aurora Hunt and we ended up spotting the Northern Lights! Pekka did not rush the tour and took extra time to make sure we could see the Aurora. The BBQ was also excellent and tasty! Pekka took great photos and sent these to us the next day! Thank you so much Pekka, we really appreciated your efforts and time.

Yes yes yes!!!
Really really enjoyed our experience with this company. Couldn’t recommend it more honestly. If we ever go back to Rovaniemi, we would definitely book a tour with them again. We were taken with a van, so it was a small group (rather than a big bus with loads of people) which was important to us. Overall, it felt really personal and it was obvious that the owners are passionate about what they do. They offered to take photos of everyone too, which was very nice of them. The hot drinks and marshmallows and sausages cooked over a fire at the end of the night were a nice touch.

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Rovaniemi Aurora Hunting Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rovaniemi.
How much does Rovaniemi Aurora Hunting Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $95 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 Aurora Hunting Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Aurora Hunting Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 Aurora Hunting Tour?
+
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 Aurora Hunting Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Rovaniemi Aurora Hunting Tour?
+
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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rovaniemi Aurora Hunting Tour 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.
