Rovaniemi Northern Lights Tours & Sauna Experience

It’s really something else to stand in the snow at midnight and see the sky light up. I went with my mom and she cried (but happy tears). Our guide, Antti, was so patient, never made us feel rushed. He even gave us handwarmers when my fingers went numb. Make sure to charge your phone, mine nearly froze.

Aurora wasn’t as strong as the pics on Instagram but still... pretty cool experience. Our guide was funny, cracked jokes to keep us entertained. The minibus got a bit cramped with all the gear, but the vibe was good.

This was one of the most unique things I’ve ever done! Floating in the pitch black, listening to the water, just wow. Staff was super friendly and made sure we were comfy. The cookies after were a hit.

Pretty unique experience. The float itself is meditative, but getting changed was a pain (tiny space, lots of people). Staff kept spirits up with jokes. Would do again but hope for smaller group.

“Our guide was very pleasant and made our experience unique and unforgettable; even though the weather conditions didn’t allow us to see the northern lights, she made sure we had a magical and incredibly wonderful night. We left with a great experience of the place and of her attention.”

I originally booked the Aurora Chase with huskies, but due to a sudden weather change it had to be cancelled as it was too warm and slippery, and I really appreciate that animal welfare is a top priority in Finland. Huge respect for that! The company immediately offered me an Aurora photography tour instead, and I’m so glad I accepted. From the moment I arrived at the office, the experience was smooth and welcoming. A small tip: be patient the reception team is small, but the ladies working there are incredibly kind and helpful. They also provide warm clothing free of charge, which is amazing when you’re heading out into the cold. The tour itself was fantastic. I travelled in a warm, comfortable bus with two guides and a careful, friendly driver, while the photographers followed in a separate car with all their equipment. I was unbelievably lucky: the aurora was already waiting for me when we arrived! It appeared and disappeared throughout the evening, and my guide Gigi (and the rest of his lovely team forgive me, I’m terrible with names!) kept me informed, entertained, and well taken care of. The bus driver was amazing safe, knowledgeable, and even shared beautiful stories about auroras from different parts of Finland and beyond. The Nordic team prepared a cosy little BBQ: reindeer sausage with Finnish bread and mustard, hot blueberry juice, and marshmallows roasted over the fire with biscuits for dessert. Such a perfect touch! The photographers deserve a special shoutout. They worked in the freezing cold with bare hands to capture the best possible shots for everyone. Some people expected more from the lights, but nature isn’t predictable… and then the magic happened. On the way back, the aurora suddenly grew stronger. Without hesitation, the team pulled over in the middle of nowhere and we all jumped out to witness a full, dancing aurora across the cold night sky. Absolutely unforgettable. The energy, the care, the friendliness of the whole team everything was beyond wonderful. I can’t recommend this tour enough! 🌌

My bf and I did this tour and it was honestly the highlight of our Lapland trip. The sky was wild, the fire was cozy, the pics turned out great.

Booked last minute and SO glad I did. Toni picked us up from our hotel, super easy. We had a blast chatting around the fire while waiting for the sky to do its thing. When the lights showed up, everyone was just silent and staring—goosebumps!
