Private Northern Lights Hunt and Photography Experience
About
This experience is unique because it is a fully private Northern Lights tour, tailored exclusively for you and your group — no crowds, no rush, just a personal and intimate night under the Arctic skies. It is organized by a small local family-run company from Rovaniemi, known for warm hospitality and an authentic touch. What truly sets it apart is the guidance in Northern Lights photography: you’ll learn hands-on how to set up your camera, adjust the settings, and capture the aurora yourself, while also receiving professional portraits under the lights. The combination of privacy, personal photography instruction, and the genuine care of a local family business makes this adventure truly one of a kind.
