This is a true aurora hunting tour led by a professional photographer who's photos have been viewed millions of times on social media! Starting from Rovaniemi with a flexible start time, we will drive to a location where the weather models have determined that we will have the best chance of seeing the aurora. Whether it’s half an hour away or deep into Swedish Lapland, I want to see the aurora as much as you do so I’ll make sure to get there! Once we have located clear skies and aurora, it’s time to enjoy the show and take document all the magic with with my high quality mirrorless cameras and astrophotography lenses. All good photos taken on the night are provided to you at print quality within 2 doys of the tour. In the event that we don't get any photos of the northern lights, you can join another tour for free or an 80% money back. With these policies in place, we've seen northern lights on many nights where others cancelled because of difficult looking conditions.

Magical!!
Aleksi is an amazing tour, he took us around explained to us how the northen lights happen and what conditions we need to have great visibility. When we did not see it the first time, he took us the following day on another trip (same ticket) to this secret lake where the view was out of this world Amazing guy and highly recommended

Couldn't have dreamed of a better tour
Had an incredible night on 21 Sep as a family with 3 kids. Couldn't have asked for a more dedicated guide, Aleksi went well out of his way to ensure we saw an incredible show and no stone was unturned making sure he had good updates on what was happening in the solar system. We ended up just short of Sweden to see it and was a dream come true. All forecast said no chance but his commitment to try provided an incredible experience. His knowledge about the aurora and stars made the trip so informative. Communication was fantastic and the amazing photos were awesome.

Amazing & unforgettable moments
Had the most incredible Northern Lights tour with Aleksi @rather.chilly! He’s not just a guide, he’s genuinely passionate about the aurora. He explained the science behind it in a way that was easy to understand and made the night even more special. On top of that, he went above and beyond taking photos for us and sharing them the next day. Really felt welcomed and taken care of. If you’re chasing the aurora, I highly recommend going with him! Thanks Aleksi.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Spot-On Predictions, Stargazing & Pro Photography!
If you want to see the Northern Lights, Aleksi from Rather Chilly is the guide you need! His expertise with Northern Lights forecasts is amazing—not only did we catch the lights, but we also enjoyed incredible stargazing under clear skies. He is highly professional when taking photos, capturing memories that look straight out of a magazine! From comfortable door-to-door pickup to the surprise chocolate treat, every detail was perfect. He showed us that early Autumn is hands-down the best time for Northern Lights chasing with milder temperatures. Aleksi is super friendly, passionate, and generous with his knowledge. 10/10 experience—don't hesitate to book!

The Northern Lights Experience You Dream Of!
This was an absolutely incredible Northern Lights tour and Aleksi was a fantastic guide. He explained everything so clearly, where we were going, how the aurora forms, and even the science behind it which made the experience even more special. What really stood out was how passionate and excited he was about the Northern Lights. It didn’t feel like someone just doing their job he was just as excited as the rest of us, which made the whole experience feel really special to share together. He also went above and beyond by recommending helpful apps and websites for tracking the aurora, and he took amazing photos for everyone. He made sure we all got plenty of photos and even helped a couple of us who were trying to take our own pictures as well. All the photos were sent within a day, which was brilliant, and the whole experience was completely worth it. As a solo traveller on this trip, he also made the experience feel really comfortable and welcoming, which I really appreciated. Such a lovely guide and an unforgettable night. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone hoping to see the Northern Lights. Thank you so much!!

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Rovaniemi Genuine Aurora Hunt With A Professional Photographer: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rovaniemi.
How much does Rovaniemi Genuine Aurora Hunt With A Professional Photographer cost?
+
Prices start at $205 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 Genuine Aurora Hunt With A Professional Photographer 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 Genuine Aurora Hunt With A Professional Photographer worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 51 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 Genuine Aurora Hunt With A Professional Photographer?
+
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 Genuine Aurora Hunt With A Professional Photographer 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 Genuine Aurora Hunt With A Professional Photographer?
+
Around 18 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 Genuine Aurora Hunt With A Professional Photographer 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.
