About this experience

Our company has been offering the tours in Rovaniemi about 20 years and, on the request of our tourists, we have created a special tour in search of the Northern lights for adults only. We choose locations maximum 50 km from Rovaniemi based on current weather conditions to ensure the best viewing experience possible.

The Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon and sightings can never be guaranteed. Usually, we can tell beforehand how likely it is that the tour is a success, e.g. by using weather forecasts. If the conditions aren't right, and you have already booked the tour, you will be contacted as soon as possible and notified of the tour cancellation or offer to change the date. This is usually done by leaving a text message to your mobile phone, that´s why very important to give your phone during the reservation.

In the case of tour being cancelled you will receive a full refund. But if we were on the tour and did not see the Northern lights your payment is not refunded.
