Northern Lights & Haute Cuisine**** Private Igloo Service

Northern Lights & Haute Cuisine**** Private Igloo Service

This is not a bus tour to a fixed location — it’s a real Northern Lights hunt where we actively search for clear skies, sometimes driving far north or even crossing into Sweden to find the best conditions. Many tours in Rovaniemi operate with large buses and fixed stops where guests simply wait and hope the sky clears. We operate small groups (max 8 guests) in a comfortable van, allowing us to stay mobile and react quickly to changing weather and cloud conditions. Our guides monitor forecasts and aurora activity in real time and adjust the route throughout the evening to find clearer skies. Some nights the lights appear close to Rovaniemi. On other nights we may drive far north or even cross the border into Sweden where conditions are better. Aurora Borealis can never be guaranteed, but real aurora hunting is about experience, mobility and making the right decisions to maximize your chances.

What are people saying about Rovaniemi

Sean_T, Apr 2026

Amazing!

A great experience and something I never thought I’d see - not just one but multiple frozen waterfalls! It’s been a while since we went, but our guide was Emma or Emily and she was great too! Very good at keeping the whole group happy and engaged through a semi challenging trail. Highly recommend this!

ROVANIEMI: Reindeer Farm Visit and Walking

Denise_P, Mar 2026

Seeing reindeer in their natural element on a working farm

Just an incredible tour with Juho on his family's reindeer farm with nonstop highlights all morning - feeding the reindeer, watching Juho's father interact with the herd, enjoying homemade pancakes and berry jams made by Juho's mother Liisa, and getting to walk the adorable Noppe in the forest. Loved that White Winter Lapland is a working, non-touristy farm that lets their reindeer live as they wish without forcing them to do anything (even the walk), and that the family works the farm themselves and were happy to share nuggets on reindeer herding and life in Lapland with us. Would love to visit again some day!

Frozen Waterfall Hike

The frozen waterfall tour was great from start to finish. We were picked up exactly on time from our resort and everything went smoothly from there. Our guide Vanessa was fantastic and we had a lot of fun. The BBQ lunch was a fun experience as well. Definitely recommend.

Had such a fun day at the...

Had such a fun day at the Frozen Waterfalls of Korouoma Canyon! ❄️ Our guide Sarah was awesome—super organized, made sure we were all geared up for the cold, and kept things safe while still relaxed. The walk was beautiful, with plenty of stops for photos (she took some amazing shots too!). Ended the trip with a cozy BBQ—sausages and marshmallows by the fire hit the spot. Definitely a highlight of Finland.

Tiring day but worth the effort

Was sceptical about booking this tour as it's a 50-50 chance but saw the reviews and went ahead with it anyways. I badly wanted to see the Northern Lights and of course capture a photo in person. Glad it all came true. Paul and SK were amazing throughout the tour and the bus driver too. Took all the effort to take us to Sweden as Finland was cloudy and we saw the Northern Lights exactly as advertised. Could only get the green aura but then can't ask for more after 4 hours of travel and hunting. Gave us hot coffee in the office initially and then took the perfect pictures for our social medias. Paul and SK were very enthusiastic and took multiple photos of everyone to feel better. It was the perfect tour and happy it all came down so well. Would recommend you all to book the tour as even though it says it's chancy, rest assured, it's a 90% chance of being successful as the tour group goes all in and takes every effort to make it come true. Lapland Roveniami overall has been amazing and very glad to visit the North Pole at least once in my lifetime.

Best day ever

Our snowmobile experience today was amazing, one of the best things I've ever done in my life! Our guide Nacho was so passionate, professional and helpful. His instructions were clear and we felt confident once we started. Our seven year old son was transported in a heated pod by Nacho which was awesome for him. He got to stay toasty warm and still enjoy the same experience we did. I would highly recommend Snowride Lapland to anyone looking for an awesome day out.

Exceeded all expectations!!!

It was my boyfriends 30th so I wanted to book him some amazing experiences for his time in Lapland. We found Snowride Lapland for snow mobiling (something he’s always wanted to do). It’s safe to say we picked the right company. From the moment we got picked up from our hotel to the end, the whole team and service was amazing. Especially Nacho, our instructor, who gave us the most incredible tour through the woods and kept us entertained the whole time. If you’re looking for the perfect place for your snow mobiling trip in Lapland, honestly look no further!

Amazing

This was an amazing experience. Veeti our guide was incredible. We thought we wouldn’t see any lights because of the clouds but veeti was relentless in hunting the lights and in the end we got to see some of the most incredible and enchanting lights in multiple locations and got some amazing pictures also. So happy with the experience and feeling so lucky we had Veeti as our guide.

A wonderful day

We had a wonderful experience today at the reindeer farm. Our guide and photographer were great and the sleigh ride was magical. It was great to hearing information about the reindeers and getting to warm up after the ride with hot chocolate and a snack. Our kids loved every minute and would definitely recommend.

Rovaniemi: Northern Lights Group Tour - Guaranteed View

A Successful Hunt Due to Persistent Guides

We had a great experience on this tour. Our guides were Santiago, Leevi, and Max. They were in good communication with other hunters and were persistent in finding clear skies; we drove all the way to Sweden and it paid off! We were on the group (bus) tour and we departed at 7:30pm and returned to Rovaniemi at 2:30am as most of the northern light activity occurred just around midnight. Wear ski pants if you have them as we did traverse some pretty snowy terrain to get away from the road. Guides were friendly, professional, persistent, and provided a link to download all the pictures they took of the tour participants. Great experience for us!

Auroras and Wet Suits

Spent a close to a week in lapland, was lucky enough to have seen the auroras already. Was told this was not a good day to see again, guess what ? Once arrive to location auroras were waiting on us for the second day in a row. Our guide was very passionate about nature and provided a wealth of knowledge about the area. Once the auroras disappeared in about 20 minutes we proceeded to a wam cabin in which we were introduced to our survivals wet suits. Instructions were given and proceeded to get in to a froze lake. Ice had to be broken apart so that we could get in.... yes it was that cold. My teenager son was the first one in and the last one out, what and amazing experience. Once in a lifetime. Just book it!

Fantastic experience! Definitely recommend!

A fantastic experience! Matyas was on time to collect us from our accommodation in excellent transportation. We were greeted with a chocolate which was nice. Was a short journey to Santa Claus village from where we were staying. We got to meet Santa and purchased photos and videos aswell as bits in the gift shop. We wrote a letter to Santa and posted it and sent a gift card home! We loved meeting the husky’s and the husky ride was amazing! Exhilarating! The reindeer ride was amazing too but much more peaceful and chilled! Really appreciated Matyus he was friendly thoughtful and knowledgeable and we got everything we wanted to done on this trip! Recommend!!!
