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

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.
