Many travelers come to Rovaniemi to spot the northern lights, but it’s harder than you may think to actually see the lights, especially from town.

This small-group tour takes a flexible approach, with guides being willing to drive wherever they need so you can see the aurora borealis.

Each afternoon we read the cloud cover and solar forecast, then decide where to drive that night. Some nights the aurora is 20 minutes away; some nights we drive three hours to find a gap in the clouds. That is why our tours run 5–8 hours, not a fixed three. Two ways to travel: Small Group (max 19) in a minibus with hotel pickup, or Group Bus Tour (max 47) by heated coach from central Rovaniemi. Your guide photographs you under the aurora with professional gear and sends you the images free — no watermark, no upsell. Dress warmly: winter clothing is not included (rental available in town). Hot drinks are served; no meal is included. Family-run, from Rovaniemi. Our guides drive these roads all year and know where the clear skies sit.

Rovaniemi Northern Lights Photography Small-Group Tour

Callum_D, Nov 2026

We were very happy with...

We were very happy with our experience with Beyond Arctic in this small group tour. We were impressed by their clear communication and organisation. We were well looked after by our driver/guide/photographer, Ryan, who kept us closely informed about the weather conditions and forecast throughout the night, and shared knowledge about the aurora, as well as local life and culture. We were kept warm and cosy, and we enjoyed the opportunity for a snack by the fire in a private spot. Best of all was being able to see the northern lights in all their glory!

For years I had talked...

For years I had talked about wanting to go see the Northern lights, and after last night I can finally I have been able to see them. The Guide was great, he took us to many different locations to hopefully get a better chance at viewing them. Would do it again.

👏👏

I made a reservation for the day. It will chase the aurora in a large bus. The car has a toilet, which was a great help during the long aurora hunt. I was worried about the cloudy weather in Rovaniemi, but they guided me across the Swedish border. In the end, I was able to see a very beautiful aurora, and I am filled with gratitude! Thank you!

Went great

After the original appointment was canceled due to a bad weather forecast, new alternative dates were immediately offered (had these dates not worked out, the originally paid amount would have been refunded). Due to the weather forecast, we also drove about 1.5-1.75 hours north of Rovaniemi, as the cloud formation was reduced there. The two guides (Arttu and Joakim) were top-notch! I can only recommend this tour, as it is also cheaper compared to other providers. Overall, our tour lasted about 5 hours.

Magnificent.

Excellent tour. Recommended 2000%. They are looking for a way for us to see auroras no matter what. We went with Tony and Nazar, both excellent, but I want to highlight Nazar who gave his all for the tour members. Nazar was always willing to take the best photos possible, with kindness toward everyone. If I returned to Rovaniemi I would book with Booklapland again since we went all the way to Sweden 🇸🇪 to catch the best auroras, even though we managed to see them in Rovaniemi but only slightly. The guides Nazar and Tony are the best.

Dreamy night in Rovaniemi!

Akin, our driver and guide, made us have an incredible evening. At first I didn't trust it too much since the forecasts weren't optimal, but he and his colleague took us to places where we could contemplate that wonderful gift for the eyes (although humans don't capture everything), he took photos with his professional camera, allowing us to see that spectacle in all its splendor, and allowing us to have that wonderful memory that we couldn't have had with our phones (Android, only the iPhones did a good job). Thank you Akin!

Amazing Experience. Amazing Guides.

It was absolutely amazing. Our two guides, Gorkem and Muhammet were brilliant. They put maximum effort in to make sure we saw the Northere Lights. They had all the proper tracking equipment and took us to the best places. They also took individual photos for us in front of the Northern Lights, as well as separate photos and videos, which they then sent to us the next day. When I was having problems capturing the lights on my phone camera, Muhammet took a look and changed the settings so I could get better images. Also, I have problems standing for long periods of time and Muhammet even produced a stool for me to sit on when I was thinking I'd have to go back to the van to sit down. It was an amazing trip and I would definitely recommend these guys - they really made our night, and our trip to Rovaniemi. This was my fourth attempt to see the Northern Lights and I am glad I went with this company.

Fulfilling a dream

We chose this tour to fulfill our dream of seeing the northern lights. We were very lucky, and not only did we see them, but we also took a tour in Spanish accompanied by Manuel, who was very kind in explaining everything to us and doing everything possible so that we could fulfill this dream! An unforgettable experience!!! Thank you very much, I completely recommend it.

Awesome tour

Easy to book through Viator, and communication with the company was excellent. I was able to easily reach them through WhatsApp at +358 41 3253131 whenever I had questions or concerns. I spoke with Dennis, who communicated clearly and honestly about our chances of seeing the Northern Lights. The weather around Rovaniemi was pretty cloudy, so we weren’t sure if we would actually be able to see anything. However, around 3 PM, we were notified that our driver would pick us up at 6 PM and take us out to search for a location with better visibility. I’m so glad my husband and I decided not to back out because we were both able to see the beautiful Northern Lights about 1.5–2 hours away from our resort! It was absolutely worth the drive and the uncertainty. Our guide, Paul, was incredibly knowledgeable and kind. He made the experience even better by offering us cookies and hot tea, and he took lots of photos and videos of all the guests. There were eight people total in our car, and everything felt comfortable and well organized. Another huge plus was the pickup and drop-off service. Our ticket originally stated that we would need to meet at their office, but I reached out to ask if they could pick us up at our resort, and they were kind enough to accommodate us. They also dropped us back off at our resort afterward. Overall, we had such a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend this company to anyone hoping to see the Northern Lights in Rovaniemi! ✨💚

TRUST HIM, he gonna make your dream about aurora come true

We had an absolutely unforgettable experience with Dimiter in Rovaniemi. From the very beginning, he was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what he does. What truly made the difference was his dedication to giving us the best possible chance to see the Northern Lights. He carefully monitored the weather conditions and drove us to the best possible spots, always patient and determined. Thanks to him, we witnessed one of the most magical moments of our lives — the Aurora Borealis dancing in the sky. Beyond that, Dimiter made the entire experience even more special with his kindness, great energy, and attention to detail. He made us feel comfortable, excited, and well taken care of throughout the whole tour. If you are looking for a guide who truly goes above and beyond to create a unique and memorable experience, Dimiter is the one. We cannot recommend him enough! Thank you, Dimiter, for making this dream come true — this is something we will carry with us forever.

Great guide - hot chocolate Aurora sighting

This is a very easy way to go searching for the Northern Lights. The office is easy to find, our guide Juliette was very nice and was a safe driver. She took us to 2 spots and we settled at one with a wide open view on a frozen lakeside where we were fortunate to see the Aurora. She shared some insights on how the Auroras are formed and what to look for when tracking them. We had hot chocolate and stood there for about 90 minutes where she took some pictures of each group with the lights overhead in the sky. We are looking forward to getting our pictures emailed and would definitely recommend this trip. Our van had 8 guests so it was a good size group and the seats were comfortable and our trip was warm. A good way to search safely - thanks for a great evening!

Ice Floating in Forest Lake with Aurora Borealis

Tracy_N, Dec 2025

Exceeded all expectations

Amazing! We were a group of 4 not really expecting much from this but this experience was probably our favorite part of Rovaniemi. We traveled during some of their coldest temperatures and surprisingly were not cold during our float. The suits kept us dry/warm, the people kept us informed/feeling safe, and just before we were packing up to leave from our cookies/juice, the auroras appeared and they took their time to explain and allowed us to experience this magical event. If you have any doubts, please don’t and book this tour!
