Review of Rovaniemi’s lakeside sauna and Northern Lights tour, with practical details on guides, value, access, timing, and Aurora chances.
“This experience is going to stand out for us as incredibly memorable for years to come! We arrived in the forest complex to the twinkle of fairy lights and floor candles lighting the pathway into the visitor centre, and as if by devine intervention the sky opened up with a fine show of Aurora for us as we were shown to our lakeside Finnish sauna. Our guide Mara gave us a good rundown of what to expect and how to keep the sauna going- though we confess the Northern lights specacle kept us distracted for a good portion of our time! That said, we found this trip a perfect amount…”

Review of Rovaniemi’s private Northern Lights photo tour, with 4x4 transport, warm gear, expert guides, snacks, and edited photos.
“There are no refunds, so I would not book this activity in advance. I would book it the day of the activity so you can check the weather. I ended up paying over $1100 and we did not see anything. Other tours offer some kind of guarantee this one does not. However, our tour guide did try very hard, we drove for over two hours into Sweden but to no avail.”
Review of Rovaniemi’s private Northern Lights tour, with unlimited driving, photos, warm drinks, and a no-Aurora payment promise.
“Our tour was average and not worth the price charged. It lasted about five hours in total. The aurora was only visible through the guide’s professional camera; it was not visible to the naked eye. There was no sparkling drink as previously informed, and no cold-weather clothing was provided. In the long-exposure photos, the sky does appear green, but when looking with the naked eye, it does not. In fact, the guide was constantly taking photos of the dark sky to check whether there was any aurora. The impression we had is that they do everything possible to obtain a photo showing the aurora, but do not focus on finding…”

“My girlfriend and I visited Rovaniemi during Jan 2023 and I had been planning to propose under the northern lights all along.

“By far the best experience we had during our stay in Finland!!! Jesse is a real aurora hunter… he drove us during two nights (first night was too cloudy) far in the north, even in Sweden to get the right spot! The result was far beyond our expectations, northern lights explosion just above us, magical!!! Thanks a lot. We wish you the best!!!”

Review of Rovaniemi’s private Northern Lights chase, with pricing, guide service, weather policy, photography help, and booking advice.
“I would avoid of this Northern Lights tour. They eventually gave a full refund due to weather, but the process was shady and misleading. I am sure if the tour could have happened it would have been good, just don't expect guarantee with this operator during poor conditions. Title promises "Guaranteed & Refund Policy," but my 40km option apparently didn't qualify. I was told instead I had to pick another product to qualify for the guarantee and a partial refund. On the day of I reched out about the poor local conditions, they suggested paying more to reschedule (when I asked about the following day) or take a "goodwill" 60%…”

“Recommend tour!!! The tour guide came to pick us up from the hotel and we went to hunt for the aurora borealis near by the lake. We met the very beautiful aurora borealis dancing on that night. 🤩 However, during the dark it is very hard to took a photo with your mobilephone. We did not book a photography tour but Alex, our tour guide prepared his profrssional camera and took a nice photo for all of us. 👍Thxxx to Alex 🤩”
