It wasn’t looking like we were going to see the northern lights because of cloud but luckily (miracle!) we got to see them a few times that night! The guides even kindly offered to take us out the next night on half price to make up for the fact the lights weren’t as clear. The food was amazing and the blueberry tea was really comforting. 10/10 experience would recommend to anyone”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 61 reviews · 4 to 5 hours (approx.)

Spend four to five hours chasing the Aurora from Rovaniemi with a private guide, often visiting two or three weather-based locations. Beyond Arctic supplies winter clothing, boots, camera gear, hot drinks, snacks, and edited photos. Guides such as Finn, Ilona, and Aurelien have helped make difficult nights memorable.

“There are no refunds, so I would not book this activity in advance. I would book it the day of the activity so you can check the weather. I ended up paying over $1100 and we did not see anything. Other tours offer some kind of guarantee this one does not. However, our tour guide did try very hard, we drove for over two hours into Sweden but to no avail.”
