What you'll see and do
Rovaniemi
We continuously monitor solar wind movements to know when the Northern Lights are at their best. It is recommended to make a reservation for the first day of your arrival. If the forecast for the booked day is poor, we will move the reservation to the next day and so on. If suitable day cannot be found, the payment will be returned. We do not make a trip if the possibilities are impossible. This is how you ensure the best chance to see the Northern lights. We travel by minivans and small groups to make sure that experience is best possible. We recommend to take snack with you for the evening and warm clothes. We are focused to find Northern lights and that is why we do not focus on making campfires and grilling sausages and drinks because it is usually just impossible due to weather and driving :)

Amazing Northern Lights experience
Tuomo and Alexis were both awesome guides. The bus ride to our first stop was smooth and didn’t take too long. Once we got out of the bus the northern lights were on full display. They also had multiple professional cameras for people to take photos. Was truly an amazing experience and one that my fiancée and I will never forget.

Rovaniemi: Northern Lights Tour, 100% Guarantee with Free Photos: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rovaniemi.
How much does Rovaniemi: Northern Lights Tour, 100% Guarantee with Free Photos cost?
+
Prices start at $103 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: Northern Lights Tour, 100% Guarantee with Free Photos 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: Northern Lights Tour, 100% Guarantee with 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 901 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular 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: Northern Lights Tour, 100% Guarantee with 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: Northern Lights Tour, 100% Guarantee with Free Photos 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: Northern Lights Tour, 100% Guarantee with Free Photos?
+
Around 315 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: Northern Lights Tour, 100% Guarantee with 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:%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.
What is included in Rovaniemi: Northern Lights Tour, 100% Guarantee with Free Photos?
+
Included: 1-3 Aurora Guides; Professional DSLR Photography (Unlimited photos); Meteorological Observations; Thermal Winter Clothing; and All Fees and Taxes. Not included: Full dinner or BBQ. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Rovaniemi: Northern Lights Tour, 100% Guarantee with Free Photos?
+

Meeting inside the office, please come to front desk with name on tickets. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
