Road trip!
We saw amazing lights, even though it was raining in Rovaniemi when we left! All were prepared for a long 3+ hour drive through Sweden to find a patch of open sky - and we did! The driver had so many resources and experience, that we relaxed, trusting our guide George completely. (It seemed like other vans were following us, I think they knew our guide was the best ;-). He got just as excited as us when he found them, just seconds before they rippled across the sky. The lights were very strong for 10+ minutes, but they were visible as a mist/cloud for almost an hour. The guide took as many pictures as we wanted, and will send a link to photos a few days later. It is a long drive if it’s cloudy in Rovaniemi, so bring plenty of data to catch up on emails and write up your trip notes - or listen to your audiobook while enjoying the long, dark, snowy road lined with trees. Our trip took 10 hours total. The next night was clear in R. and the other guests got back after only 4 hours. Warning: there is only ONE gas station along the entire route with a bathroom, and it’s only one toilet for 1-3 vans, for ~ 24 people - very very clean though. Take small sips if you must drink, or be prepared to “go behind the van” if you can. Thanks George and Arctic GM! You are the pros!

You have the best possible chance with them to see the Northern Lights!
We had an incredible experience with Rasa on our Northern Lights tour. Our tour was cancelled the first two days we were in Rovaniemi due to cloudy weather, but when the conditions finally improved, Rasa went above and beyond—driving us all the way into northern Sweden to chase clear skies. It was a long journey, but absolutely worth it. He knew exactly where to go and found the perfect spots for viewing, and we were rewarded with an amazing Northern Lights display. I can’t recommend Lapin Taivas and Rasa enough. If you want someone truly dedicated to helping you see the lights, this is the tour to book! ✨

We found them we found them!
Great night with Andre at the lappish cottage. We had hot cocoa, delicious traditional sausages and marshmallows. Beautiful setting. The skies were cloudy but Andre never gave up, we saw the lights on our way back to the hotel. Andre pulled over and took great photos of us under the green glow.

Small Group Tour - Worth It!
Being on a small group northern lights tour was great! We were able to get to a spot that bigger busses could not access. Our guide, Paul, took so many photos of everybody and was really enthusiastic! His energy was contagious! The aurora we saw was amazing!!
