Rovaniemi: Northern Lights Hunt with 100% Photo Guarantee
Small groups, flexible routes, professional photos and a 100% Aurora Photo Guarantee
Explore Lapland's Night Sky with Arctic Safari Guides. Small groups, flexible routes, professional Northern Lights photos, and our 100% Photo Guarantee
Real Aurora Hunting — Not Just Waiting Under Cloudy Skies
This is a genuine Northern Lights hunt—not a standard sightseeing tour. Our experienced local guides continuously monitor weather forecasts, cloud coverage, and aurora activity to choose the best possible locations. Some nights the hunt stays near Rovaniemi, while others may take you hundreds of kilometres across Lapland.
Small Groups, Premium Comfort
& Maximum Flexibility
Most hunts are operated in small groups of up to 8 guests, creating a more personal and flexible experience. Smaller groups allow us to react quickly to changing weather conditions, avoid crowded viewing locations, and focus entirely on finding the best possible Northern Lights experience.
100% Aurora Photo Guarantee, full refund
The Northern Lights can never be guaranteed—but your experience can. If no aurora photos can be captured during your hunt, you may join another available Northern Lights Hunt free of charge. If your travel schedule doesn't allow rebooking, you'll receive a full refund according to our booking conditions.

”I think this is the only place that offers an aurora tour that is never canceled. If you only have a few days to stay and absolutely want to see the northern lights, even if the weather is bad, I highly recommend this tour! Even though it's expensive, it's totally worth it! Our guide was an expert in aurora hunting and took us on a four-hour one-way trip to Sweden, where we successfully saw the aurora. It will be a memory I will cherish for the rest of my life!”

”Timo is the best! A true aurora hunter – for him, it’s much more than a job… he does it with incredible passion, dedication and enjoyment. He’s willing to do anything! And even though our night was one of the worst, he literally chased the aurora for almost 400 km. In the end, it was worth it… a wonderful dance under a starry sky that we will remember for the rest of our lives. Thank you, Timo, and we would recommend to anyone to embark on an adventurous journey like ours with him!”

”An excellent experience. Timo drove for hours until we found a spot with no clouds or fog, where we were able to enjoy a spectacular aurora borealis. His tenacity, experience, and kindness were essential for witnessing such a magnificent sight. Furthermore, during our travels, we had very interesting conversations about the aurora borealis, the wildlife, and daily life in Finland. I highly recommend this experience with Timo.”

*****
”Timo is a professional aurora hunter. He has strong determination to look for clear sky - he drove us 3-4 hours at first to look for a clear sky. Although we couldn’t manage to see aurora that night, his dedication is highly appreciated. Other aurora agent might just drop you off at cloudy locations and tell you this is the best spot based on the app already but Timo only asks you to try hunting under a clear sky. He also has professional photography skills and camera.”

Frequently asked questions
Can you really guarantee the Northern Lights?
No. Nobody can guarantee the Northern Lights.
What we can guarantee is our commitment to finding them. Every hunt is planned using local knowledge, live weather data, cloud forecasts, and flexible routing to maximize your chances of experiencing the Aurora.
If no aurora photos can be captured during your experience, you may join another available Northern Lights Hunt free of charge. If rebooking isn't possible during your stay, you'll receive a full refund according to our guarantee terms.
Where do we go during the hunt?
There is no fixed route. Every Northern Lights Hunt is planned in real time based on weather forecasts, cloud coverage, and aurora activity.
Our experienced local guides continuously monitor conditions throughout the evening and choose the direction that offers the best possible chance of finding clear skies.
Some nights the hunt stays near Rovaniemi. On others, it may travel hundreds of kilometres across Finnish Lapland—or even into Sweden or Norway—in search of better conditions.
The destination isn't the goal. Finding the Aurora is.
What happens if we don’t see the Northern Lights?
If the Northern Lights are not visible and cannot be captured in photos during your experience, you may join another available hunt free of charge. If your travel schedule does not allow rebooking, you will receive a full refund according to the guarantee terms.
Do I need a camera or photography skills?
No. Professional aurora photos are included, so you don't need a camera or any photography experience to enjoy the hunt.
Whenever conditions allow, our experienced local guides will capture photos of you beneath the Northern Lights and provide professionally edited images after the tour through a personal online gallery.
Of course, you're welcome to bring your own camera if you'd like to photograph the Aurora yourself.
Will the tour be cancelled due to weather?
No. Unlike many standard Northern Lights tours that visit fixed locations, our hunts are built around flexibility.
Our experienced guides continuously monitor weather forecasts, cloud coverage, and aurora activity throughout the evening, adapting the route in real time to find the best possible conditions. Some nights the hunt stays near Rovaniemi, while on others it may travel long distances—even into Sweden or Norway—in search of clear skies.
We don't cancel simply because the forecast looks challenging. Weather conditions in Lapland can change quickly, and our flexible approach often makes the difference between an ordinary evening and an unforgettable Northern Lights experience.
Is this suitable for beginners?
Yes. No prior experience is needed.
This experience is designed to be easy, comfortable, and accessible for everyone. Our experienced local guides take care of the route planning, weather monitoring, and aurora hunting throughout the evening, so all you need to do is relax and enjoy the adventure.
Children are welcome, provided they are comfortable with long winter drives and a flexible tour duration of up to 10 hours when conditions require it.
How long is the tour?
This isn't a fixed-length sightseeing tour. Most Northern Lights Hunts last 6–10 hours, depending on weather conditions, cloud coverage, and aurora activity.
Some nights the Northern Lights appear quickly near Rovaniemi. On others, our experienced local guides may travel much farther—sometimes even into Sweden or Norway—to find clearer skies and maximize your chances of witnessing the Aurora.
Rather than following a predetermined route or ending at a fixed time, every hunt remains flexible. The goal is simple: to give you the best possible opportunity to experience and photograph the Northern Lights.
Where does the tour start?
The experience includes convenient hotel pick-up and drop-off from your accommodation in Rovaniemi.
One of our experienced local guides will pick you up before the hunt begins and return you safely to your accommodation after the experience. Your exact pick-up time and meeting details will be sent to you before the tour.
