Northern Lights · PRIVATE NORTHERN LIGHTS TOURS
A private driver buys the one thing a schedule cannot: leaving when the forecast says to, not when the coach fills. These 14 cover the Arctic towns, with prices per party and how far each will really drive.

Review of Greenlander’s private Tromsø Northern Lights tour, with guide details, pricing, itinerary, family tips, and honest value advice.
“We booked a tour to celebrate our 30th anniversary. Samuel was our guide and he did an amazing job. After a week of the lights not showing up we were treated to 3 amazing shows. It was a 7 hour trip and Samuel was friendly, professional and catered to our every need. The night ended with and explosion of dancing lights overhead. It was a spiritual experience for us. I have waited a lifetime for this experience and so thankful we were able to see them! Would love to bring my kids and grandkids to experience the lights. I can’t recommend Greenlander Tours highly enough! Thanks to Markus for setting…”

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…”

“Haven't been to see the lights. Weather not right according to our guide. We have paid for a private guide- vehicle for three of us - obviously very expensive but as yet no tour. I will change my review if we get a chance to go. If we don't we are praying we get a refund. To be continued...”
Review of Reykjavik’s private Northern Lights tour with hotel pickup, off-road searching, hot drinks, camera help, and five pro photos.
“The experience and communication from start to finish was perfect. They emailed me a week before coordinating days we would be available as options to find the optimal night to see the Northern Lights. Isabella arrived promptly at our hotel, and was so courteous and professional. She took amazing photographs so we had family photos of the experience too! I highly recommend booking with Icelandic Roamers over the others for a more customized experience without having to worry about timing of getting back to the hotel at a certain time. Isabel made sure we were happy with our experience the entire time. Oh…and they provided us with THE BEST hot…”

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 Tromsø’s private Northern Lights chase, with fjord views, photography, fire-side food, warm gear, and practical booking advice.
“We had a super friendly, amazing and knowledgeable tour guide in Federico. He had a well planned trip for us. Took us to a stunning locale (Fjord) to witness the spectacular show that the sky put up for us! He took amazing pictures & also provided tips on camera settings to capture the spectacle. He alap explained the solar activity in detail, so that we understand how one can accurately predict the possibility of an aurora forming. The lovely bonfire he set up accompanied with the hot chocolate, cookies, the warm tomato soup was soul nourishing and just what we needed for the action packed night. Thank you Federico for…”
