Experience the phenomenal polar night in Lapland on a Northern Lights hunt from Rovaniemi, with a 3 or 5-day pass!
Rovaniemi is the capital city of Lapland, located in the north of Finland. It is known for its proximity to the magical Arctic Circle and excellent conditions for Northern Lights viewings! With this 3 or 5-day pass, you increase your chances of witnessing the Northern Lights in Rovaniemi.
For this excursion, you can choose a 3-day or 5-day pass, which entitles you to 3 or 5 days of Northern Lights tours in Rovaniemi. The first tour will be on the day you book the activity, and each tour will take place on the following days in a row. As the Northern Lights are an unpredictable phenomenon, the lights don't always appear. A 3 or 5-day pass increases your chances of catching the Aurora Borealis.
Each Northern Lights hunt from Rovaniemi begins at the starting point in the city, where you'll be picked up by the experienced guide in a comfortable minivan (please specify your location upon booking). The guide will drive you outside of Rovaniemi into the wilderness areas. You'll encounter frozen lakes, snowy woodlands and thick grasslands. The expert guide will track the forecast to find the best spot to view the Northern Lights. Each night will provide a unique experience, with different natural landscapes to discover.
Upon arrival at the prime location in the Arctic wilderness, you'll enjoy hot drinks and snacks around a campfire. While admiring the starry night sky, the guide will share stories about Nordic folklore and life in Lapland. If you're lucky, the mesmerising dance of colours will light up the sky, a once-in-a-lifetime experience! The guide will help you capture photos and tell you more about the Northern Lights. At the end of your 3-4-hour Northern Lights tour from Rovaniemi, you'll return to the starting point in the city.
