“Amazing experience with Arctic GM! We are a couple and we did the tour with Matteo, who was an outstanding guide: kind, punctual, extremely professional, and very knowledgeable. He explained everything about the Northern Lights and took great care of the whole group. The tour is perfectly organized (thermal suits included, quick stop at the office to get changed, snacks and hot tea). The guides constantly monitor the best areas and, if needed, they are even willing to drive all the way to Sweden or Norway to make sure you see the aurora. We were lucky and saw a stunning one about 1h30 from Rovaniemi! They also take photos during…”

“This experience was absolutely amazing! Jamie is truly the perfect guide — incredibly kind, patient, and dedicated. He stood outside in the freezing cold for a long time, constantly checking the sky and waiting for the Northern Lights for us. Even though our group happened to be a bit shy and didn’t give much immediate response, he remained just as enthusiastic. He shared so much knowledge about the aurora with us and kept helping us take photos the whole time. We are extremely grateful to Jamie and the whole team for such a wonderful experience. Please give Jamie a raise — he really deserves it!”

The guides offered hot berry drink and some cinnamon biscuits which is nice to have in the -20C weather. The only thing that could have been better is the trail, which we were driving in the same loop multiple times.”

Join Rovaniemi locals such as Vito, Berta, Eva, and Janne on a science-led Aurora hunt. You’ll ride into Lapland, Sweden if needed, stop under dark skies, warm up with berry juice and cookies, and receive DSLR photos. Small groups offer the most flexibility, while the bus tour costs less.

“The aurora hunting tour was incredible. We honestly thought we wouldn’t be able to see the Northern Lights, but the guide never gave up. Even though the tour lasted longer than expected, it only made the experience more special. Thanks to the guide’s persistence and dedication, we had a truly magical and unforgettable experience. The guide took as many photos as we wanted and treated us extremely well throughout the entire tour. As a small suggestion, having blankets available in the car could help keep guests warm after spending time outside, but overall everything was wonderful.”

He was more disappointed than we were that there was another minibus there and so we drove a bit further, and saw them again from a deserted frozen lake, an amazingly beautiful place to be. Quick pitstop to use a loo and then we headed back, a great trip.”
