What are people saying about Rovaniemi

Jennifer_B, Mar 2026

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! ✨

Northern Lights Wilderness Small-Group Tour from Rovaniemi

Kristin_R, Jan 2026

Wonderful Experience! RECOMMEND!

I booked this tour as part of a christmas gift to my husband and parents who traveled from the USA. It was their first time in the Arctic region and they had never seen the norther lights before. Atanas was our guide and he led an incredible tour. We received a lot of academic knowledge on how northern lights are formed and what conditions are required for them to be visible. The truth is, due to the magnetic field of the earth and weather conditions, we (humans) really dont have any control of aurora borealis activity and despite clear skies and elimination of light pollution, northern light activity was extremely low. However, Atanas was persistent and was able to make a sighting of a small one that we caught on camera! In spite of the low activity, the views of the night sky, private locations we visited and the campfire/BBQ we had in a traditional Sami tent made this experience very memorable. Additionally, Atanas ensured we received a safe ride back to our AirBNB following the conclusion of our trip since we were staying outside of the city center. I recommend this tour!

Excellent tour. Guides :...

Excellent tour. Guides : Luca and Julia. They both were persistent and patient in finding northern lights for us in -20 to -30 degrees temperature. Took us around 50-70 km outside rovaniemi. They took multiple photos of us at different locations. On the way back, they spot another spot and stopped. They ensured safety of all guests even during photography sessions . They als served hot drinks and biscuit when we reached the spot

My tour guide, Natasa,...

My tour guide, Natasa, was incredibly friendly and truly knows how to hunt the aurora. Even though it was rainy and cloudy when I arrived, she still managed to find the perfect spot and ensured we had an amazing view of the northern lights. She also did a great job explaining the science behind the aurora, which made the experience even more interesting. I really enjoyed the trip, and I truly appreciate the beautiful photos she took for me. That's a wonderful and memorable experience overall.

Jo_P, Dec 2025

Great tour with flexible and committed guide!

Our guide was great, he contacted us the day before our planned tour (due to do tour on Saturday night) to say that the forecast was heavy cloud so it looked very unlikely that we would see the lights and could we do the tour on Friday night instead as there was a much better chance. Even though we only landed from our flight at 2am (!!), he met us at our hotel after we got our taxi from the airport and took us straight out to try and see the lights before they weakened and disappeared! We were so lucky to get to see them and we were very grateful for our guides' flexibility and commitment to getting us the best chance! Would 100% recommend, our guide was very passionate and knowledgeable about the northern lights and it was overall a fantastic experience!

PRIVATE Party dinner in a Glass Igloo Under Northern Lights

Unforgettable Experience Under the Northern Lights

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ From start to finish, this private igloo dinner was pure magic! Dining under the shimmering northern lights in a beautifully set glass igloo was like a dream come true — warm, cozy, and incredibly romantic. The food was exceptional, with every course thoughtfully prepared and served with care. The team made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. To top off the night, the jungle dune buggy ride added the perfect thrill. Racing through forest trails with just the stars above and the crisp Arctic air around us was exhilarating and fun. It was a perfect blend of adventure and luxury. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Thank you for such a memorable evening!

Amazing trip for an amazing price!

Amazing and well organized. Very friendly and professional as well. Manuel and Gabriel were incredible. The know the best places, very careful about safety and make you feel comfortable in the cold. Most of all they really cared about taking you great photos and that important in such a tour as your own camera isn’t the same. We crossed to Sweden about an hour and a half from Rovaniemi, big comfortable bus and at the end we were given also warm tea and blueberry muffins. Also VERY interactive with WhatsApp messages before the tour and that made me feel at ease. Their office Arctic GM is at the center of Rovaniemi and they gave us chocolates and tea before starting the trip. Can’t wait to go with them again. Also Glenda at the office was wonderful!
