This experience is unique because it is a fully private Northern Lights tour, tailored exclusively for you and your group — no crowds, no rush, just a personal and intimate night under the Arctic skies. It is organized by a small local family-run company from Rovaniemi, known for warm hospitality and an authentic touch. What truly sets it apart is the guidance in Northern Lights photography: you’ll learn hands-on how to set up your camera, adjust the settings, and capture the aurora yourself, while also receiving professional portraits under the lights. The combination of privacy, personal photography instruction, and the genuine care of a local family business makes this adventure truly one of a kind.

Get the most out of your time in Lapland by spending a day in the great outdoors. You’ll save time by trying two activities in a day—ice fishing and snowshoeing. Take the hassle out of navigating by having door-to-door transport included. Once you get to the Arctic forests, you’ll snowshoe over a frozen lake, and test out your fishing skills. Another highlight is learning how to make fire without the use of matches, and grilling sausages.
