Aurora Borealis is one of the most unique natural phenomenon and seeing northern lights dancing above is a once-in-a lifetime experience. In this tour, you can have your experience captured by our professional camera.
We will pick you up in Rovaniemi and begin driving far away from the city. We will drive about 50 km to reach our location to observe the northern lights. Our location is so far, because we want to take you to a place without light pollution, so we have the best conditions to see northern lights. If we are lucky, we will be able to spot aurora borealis already on the way.
Once we will reach our northern lights watching spot, our experienced guide will tell you about northern lights, how are they formed, why do they have different colours as well as will answer any of your questions.
We will bring a professional camera to capture northern lights and take photos of you with northern lights in the background. The photos are included in the price and we will send them to you on the next day after the tour. We believe that your own photo with northern lights is a great memory of your trip to Lapland.
If you have your own camera, you can ask the photographer to explain you how to photograph aurora borealis and what settings are the best. You can rent a tripod from us for a small fee.
As you are watching northern lights shining on the sky, the guide prepares fire and barbecue for you. We will have some traditional Finnish snacks, such as sausages, cookies, and hot juice.
After the tour, your guide will drive you back to your accommodation.
