★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 3,836 reviews · 8 hours · from $164Our pick

Spend up to eight hours hunting the Aurora from Rovaniemi in a heated 2025 Ford Tourneo 4x4. Your English-speaking guide tracks clouds and solar activity, drives as far as Sweden or Norway if needed, and takes DSLR photos of you beneath the lights. Groups are limited to eight, with thermal clothing, hot drinks, snacks, and hotel pickup included.

“This was a well-organised and straightforward northern lights chase. The communication was clear from pickup until the end of the trip, which made everything very smooth and comfortable. I’m so happy that I got to witness the northern lights with my naked eyes for the second time. Our guide genuinely put in great effort to find the best conditions for us to see the aurora, and I truly appreciate his dedication.”

Winter clothing, hotel pickup, photography help, and a professional camera are included, though long drives and uncertain conditions require patience.

“Try not to eat much some hours before the pick up. It’s lot of driving with no bathroom available along the way. If you can, take an emergency kit with you. The only place to use as bathroom is behind the trees or behind the vehicle. It’s the road and trees on your right and left in the middle of the darkness as it should be. Just like going to camping, Other than that , it is an unforgettable experience. Robin, our guide was amazing all the time, giving scientific information about why the lights occur and looking for the best place to find them.”

“Really enjoyed our activities. Shame the animal rides weren’t longer, but we knew how far we would be going on them when booking this. Would have also been nice if we could have had spare time to wonder around the farm, as that felt a little rushed. Ryan and our other guide (so sorry I forgot his name) were fab, full of fun and looked after us well. All in all a thumbs up as it was an unforgettable experience. We did the snowmobile, husky and reindeer rides in one package for half a day.”
