Great experience catching the Northern Lights!! The team was friendly and helpful. They took as many pictures as you desired! They even arranged photos to capture the best shot! Hot juice and a snack were provided. Definitely a trip worth taking!

Itinerary
Guests will board our heated bus and have their tickets scanned at the Polar Lapland office before departure. Once everyone is ready, we set out into the Lapland night to hunt for clear skies and the Northern Lights.
After finding clear skies, your guide will direct the group to a viewing location away from light pollution. Here we begin photography and serve warm juice. If conditions allow, we may also light a small fire for extra warmth and comfort. Then we simply enjoy the Northern Lights.
When the viewing is finished, we will head back toward Rovaniemi. Upon arrival, the group will be dropped off at the Polar Lapland Office, where the tour concludes. All photos taken during the night are sent digitally afterwards.

They were fantastic. Drove to where best chance was, we were lucky enough to see it. They don’t rush and really give you the best time and chance. Thankyou
Had a great time, Paul was a lovely guide and we really got to experience the best of the northern lights
Had a great tour guided by Mikki and Veeti. They were enthusiastic, informative and tried their best to take great photos. It was a really pleasant night and the lights were just gorgeous. I originally planned to go the night before but it was understandably cancelled due to fog, and they rescheduled me to the next day with great communication and no issues! They had great communication.
Our tour with Paul was incredible and a real once-in-a-lifetime experience. Paul was super knowledgeable, friendly, and a great photographer. I’m honestly speechless about how magical it was. Big thanks to Paul. I’d definitely recommend this northern lights trip with Paul and Polar Lapland.
I have passed a wonderful night, the guides are so patient and nice. Very recommended
It was such a Magical experience and the guides were so friendly. Also the guides clicked lovely pictures with enthusiasm. It was worth it !!
It was such an amazing experience. I would like to thank Helmi and Rasa for being excellent guides. They were very hospitable and accommodating. I would highly recommend this tour to my family and friends.
Had a really great time on the tour. Rasmus and Helmi were fun and energetic. Took lots of pictures
Such an amazing experience that we will never forget. It was a beautiful night and we were able to see so much thanks to our guides who found a great spot!! Would definitely recommend!
Fantastic trip. Wonderful guides. Brilliant experience. Highly recommended.
Despite the rather unfavourable conditions, we had a fantastic experience thanks to our guide’s professionalism. He kept a close eye on the sky in an exemplary manner to treat us to a wonderful spectacle. Even the girls were thrilled. I highly recommend this experience!
Ok evening but there is room for improvement to make exceptional. It is a long evening and more could be done to improve. More information on the bus. Music on the bus. Rather than an app where you can read about the plan for the evening it would be better being delivered by one of the guys. Make it part of the aurora hunt adventure. Tell us about your experiences and how you hunt and what you have seen. It was disappointing to see a guy get off then get in and mumble to you about how conditions aren't right. This happened several times and you didn't really know how far the next attempt would be. It just felt because you had an app then human interaction isn't required. Guys weren't even friendly when taking photos or explain what you are seeing. For young kids it could be more informative. People returned to the bus as they had no idea how long the evening was going on for. Everyone expects the drive and late night but better information could make this easier. Good shout to have a bus with a toilet.
Successful night hunting the lights, guides were really helpful, travelled into Sweden to find them. Hot drinks and biscuits were appreciated.
Rasmus and Veko really did an amazing job! Tough conditions with the full moon but they really went above and beyond and had a great experience and even better photos! Couldn’t recommend more!
Easy to book through Viator, and communication with the company was excellent. I was able to easily reach them through WhatsApp at +358 41 3253131 whenever I had questions or concerns. I spoke with Dennis, who communicated clearly and honestly about our chances of seeing the Northern Lights. The weather around Rovaniemi was pretty cloudy, so we weren’t sure if we would actually be able to see anything. However, around 3 PM, we were notified that our driver would pick us up at 6 PM and take us out to search for a location with better visibility. I’m so glad my husband and I decided not to back out because we were both able to see the beautiful Northern Lights about 1.5–2 hours away from our resort! It was absolutely worth the drive and the uncertainty. Our guide, Paul, was incredibly knowledgeable and kind. He made the experience even better by offering us cookies and hot tea, and he took lots of photos and videos of all the guests. There were eight people total in our car, and everything felt comfortable and well organized. Another huge plus was the pickup and drop-off service. Our ticket originally stated that we would need to meet at their office, but I reached out to ask if they could pick us up at our resort, and they were kind enough to accommodate us. They also dropped us back off at our resort afterward. Overall, we had such a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend this company to anyone hoping to see the Northern Lights in Rovaniemi! ✨💚 A few tips: - eat before you go - bring snacks and drinks (ok to bring a can of beer!) - dress warm for outside. Pretty hot inside the car. - expect to take a nap inside the car since we're driving to different places to catch the lights - expect to stay a few hours to see the whole northern lights show!! -bring cash to tip the guide!
Absolutely amazing experience, Paul is a professionnal photographer with amazing skills, knowledge and experience, he brought some accessories to make cinematic videos and pictures. A must try and very professionnal company. Thanks Paul
Hey guys, I will start with a big OMG, wow it really an spectacular experience, We hunt for few miles north of Rovaniemi, the guide were very friendly and professional, they found a perfect spot. Highly recommend it.

Great experience with great tour guides. They took us to a very nice place and we got to see the northern lights.
It was a very nice experience. After travelling for 2 hours we got to see the northern lights very prominently. The tour guide Max was very cooperative. Once in a life time experience. Would definitely recommend this.
Amazing experience, very helpful and our guides drove as far as they needed too to make sure we got out of the clouds and eventually saw the lights. Definitely worth it. The team is great and very friendly.
Very good experience!! Cute tour guides and worth the money
It’s a really interesting experience, we saw a beautiful aurora and ate cookies with hot juice. Everything is perfect
Oh this was the most amazing experience! I think we were very lucky to see such amazing colors! Our guide guides from Polar Lapland did a terrific job and we're fun to be out there with! They were very enthusiastic about the wonderful dancing lights we were seeing!
Rasmus & Vetti were our tour guides and they were GREAT. The Northern Lights were AMAZING, I have never seen anything like this I highly recommend this tour The warm blueberry juice was a bonus
Rasmus & Veeti the two Guides were amazing and the photography is the best! Hiighly recommend!!
Awesome Crew and Hardworing. Enjoyed Very Much Once Ina Life Time Experience. Dancing Northern Lights
Max was a very informative guide. Very patient with everybody. The lights were amazing.
Guide Rasmus was so kind. He prepared hot tea and cookies since it was cold. And he took great pictures. We were lucky so see a big one in the end:)
We were most fortunate to see the amazing Northern Lights, thanks to our guides from Polar Lapland. Rasmus and Joona drove us to a beautiful spot where the lights were reflected in a lake. They were both friendly and enthusiastic, and patiently took many photos. It was also interesting to have Joona’s personal insight into Sami culture. He delivered us safely back to our hotel at tour’s end. We will remember this memorable event through the special photos.
The guide, Strawberry, was amazing! The first stop we went to had some nearby lights so they quickly went to another location which ended up being perfect. You can't control weather or nature but the conditions were perfect and they made the most of it.
It was canceled the day of in the afternoon due to bad weather and was fully refunded
We had a truly wonderful experience on our Northern Lights tour, and so much of it was thanks to our amazing tour guides Atte and Oliver. They were warm, friendly, knowledgeable and incredibly enthusiastic throughout the evening. They went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience. Their knowledge of the area and the Northern Lights was impressive, and they patiently explained everything while making the evening fun and memorable. They were also extremely attentive to everyone in the group and made sure we were comfortable, warm and well looked after. And then came the magical moment when we actually saw the Northern Lights — absolutely breathtaking! ✨💚 It was an experience we will treasure forever, and our guides made it even more special with their enthusiasm and genuine excitement. Thank you for a fantastic evening and for creating such beautiful memories for us. We couldn’t have asked for better guides. Highly recommended! ❤️
Wow this experience was amazing, Our guide was fantastic and they super professional about hunting the Auroras. Highly recommend it. 🇫🇮👍
I'm really thankful with Polar Lapland. I came all the way from Colombia to have this experience. The booking was made directly at the office, answered all the question. Pick up was as scheduled. Paul our guide, polite, respectful. Highly recommend to everyone visiting Rovaniemi to take the tour with them.
Max and Casper were wonderful. They kept searching for the lights after many of us gave up and got in the bus. The result was marvelous views of the lights and awesome pictures. Thank you very much.
Thank you max and the rest of the team that went on the hunt on 23/09/27. It was tricky conditions but their expertise helped us see the beautiful auroras. Lovely experience
Seeing the Northern Lights was an unforgettable, magical experience. A massive thank you to our tour guide, Rasmus! He was such a lovely, fun, and amazing guy who made the whole trip incredibly enjoyable. He kept everyone's spirits high and ensured we had the best time possible. Highly recommend this tour and Rasmus! :)☆
We were so lucky and thrilled to have had such a successful Northern Lights tour! Seeing the aurora was a dream come true. A big thank you to our guide, Rasmus, who was super friendly, kind, and extremely punctual with the pickup service. Everything went so smoothly! We also want to give a special shoutout to the photographers—they took so many exceptional and stunning photos for us, capturing memories that we will cherish forever. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to chase the Northern Lights!
Arrtu and Tino were such amazing guides! My friend and I joined the tour for two days, and we were lucky enough to see the Northern Lights on both days. The aurora on the second night was especially breathtaking—truly unforgettable. The cookies and juice they provided were also delicious, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!
Amazing experience with our guide Tino and Arthur.They took amazing photos of us and the Aurora, it's unforgettable.
I went on two small-group Northern Lights tours this week, both led by Romain who was a fantastic guide. The first night was very cloudy so we had a long drive to Sweden in search of clearer skies. We were only able to see a hint of aurora that night, nature can be unpredictable. I booked a second tour two nights later & got to witness a Northern Lights display that was more incredible than anything I ever could have imagined. A true once in a lifetime experience, shared with a small group of other tourists who were equally in awe of what we witnessed. I didn't take a single photo the whole night - Romain had got that covered. He took fantastic photos which captured memories & allowed us to fully experience the magic we were seeing. These were shared with us very quickly afterwards. Romain took us to a quiet spot & while waiting for the aurora to appear, we all stood and watched shooting stars and the milky way. It was very special. I'm very glad I booked a second tour after the first quieter night. I'd recommend Polar Lapland small group tours to anyone visiting Rovaniemi - you never know what you might get to see. Thanks a million for everything Romain!
The experience was amazing! The photographers are extremely good at their job and very very dedicated. We saw the lights, and even saw them dance for some time. It was magical!!!! Cannot recommend Polar Lapland enough.
Arttu and tino were the best photogrophers and tour guides we could get. We saw the aurora dancing
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Such an unforgettable experience! The guides were professional, friendly, and determined to find the best clear skies. Seeing the northern lights dance above us was absolutely magical. They also took amazing professional photos of us under the aurora, which made the night even more special. Highly recommend! ✨ shout out to our amazing guides Tino, Veeti and Arttu! 🫶🏾
Arturo and his team did a great job in finding the best place with the best looks for aurora. While we did get some good sightings at the first stop, that didn't stop them. They continued to look for a better spot and stopped at a second place where it's not just a ray but a whole dance of the aurora. The coach was also warm and comfortable. The photographer also kept taking as many photos as everyone asked for without any hesitation at all. Terrific job guys, thank you!!
Awesome trip ! All the staff are amazing !
