An amazing experience chasing the magical Northern Lights in Rovaniemi, Finland! The tour was well organised, and our guide was friendly, knowledgeable and very dedicated to helping us catch this incredible natural phenomenon. The best part was that the tour came with a Northern Lights guarantee, which gave us extra assurance and peace of mind. We were lucky enough to witness the spectacular Aurora dancing across the night sky, together with the beautiful Milky Way. It was truly a breathtaking and unforgettable experience! A big thank you to the team for their patience, effort and commitment in making this dream come true. Definitely one of the highlights of our Finland trip! Highly recommended to anyone visiting Rovaniemi and hoping to witness the magical Northern Lights. Don’t miss this experience! 💚🌌

Amazing experience, everything went perfect! Everyone from Arcticgm was very polite and made sure we get a unique experience! Highly recommend!
The driver-guide Jade provided very friendly service this time. Her service was warm and enthusiastic throughout the tour. Even though the weather wasn't good that night, she still managed to find a great location with the Northern Lights for us to stop and take photos. I particularly appreciate that even though my hotel was only 200 meters away from the Arctic GM company, they still picked us up and dropped us off at the hotel entrance. They were nothing like another nearby company starting with the letter B—when I attended an activity organized by that B-company before, they told me before departure that due to company policy, my hotel was too close to them, so I had to walk to their office to wait. In short, Arctic GM is highly recommended! Their after-sales customer service is also worthy of praise, replying to messages very quickly and professionally. I was so happy to see the Northern Lights this time! Thanks to Jade and Arctic GM, and I hope to join again next time.
I had such an amazing experience with Arctic GM! Our guide, Manuel, was fantastic. He was friendly, professional, and truly dedicated to helping us see the Northern Lights. What impressed me the most was that he kept searching for better conditions and eventually drove us all the way from Finland to Sweden so that we could see the aurora. And we did! Seeing the Northern Lights that night was such a beautiful and unforgettable moment for me. I really appreciated Manuel’s effort and determination. It wasn’t just a tour—it truly felt like an Aurora Hunt! Thank you so much to Manuel and the Arctic GM team for giving me such a special memory from Lapland. I’m so happy I chose this tour and would definitely recommend it! ❤️✨
We had an absolutely incredible experience with Arctic GM Northern Lights Chase on 12th Feb 2026. Just when we had almost given up hope of seeing the aurora, our guide Pamela’s dedication and passion made all the difference ... We crossed borders to Sweden from Finland and at around 2 am, we were finally rewarded with the most breathtaking display. We were even lucky enough to witness the elusive pink hues, which made the moment feel truly magical. She was there every step of the way, capturing beautiful photos and ensuring the experience was unforgettable. Thank you, Arctic GM, for such a special and memorable adventure!
Matteo is one of the most passionate guides I’ve ever met. He even drove all the way to the far northeast of Finland just to give us the best chance to see the Northern Lights. Thanks to his dedication, I got to see the Northern Lights for the first time in my life. Even though they were faint to the naked eye, it’s still an unforgettable memory for me.
We went on the aurora hunt with them twice. The first time, we didn’t get to see anything but true to their guarantee, they took us out again for a second attempt. And that’s when it happened. Even though the aurora wasn’t very strong, it meant everything to us. We had traveled from very, very far away, and just being there, witnessing that moment, felt truly magical. What makes this experience truly special is the team. The guides are incredible kind, passionate, and always with the best attitude. They genuinely care about making your experience unforgettable. If you’re thinking about doing this, don’t hesitate. It’s more than a tour it’s a once in a lifetime memory 🤍
Friendly and helpful guides. It was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend it!
The tour was extraordinary. The efforts the guide and the team put in to get us guaranteed viewing of the northern lights was truly remarkable. The guide Carmen was really enthusiastic and drove us for more than 2 hours north of Rovaniemi. It was one of the most memorable events of our life. Definitely recommended.
Severe snow forecast during our stay that the tour was cancelled twice. On the third & last night, it was a go but only to be told we had a 15% chance to see the aurora. We drove 300kms to Sweden to find a sliver of clear sky and we found her! Kudos to this tour operator for trying their very best to make our dreams come true!
It is really a guaranteed Northern Lights viewing.
Our experience was amazing! We had great communication and had all of our questions answered. Were picked up from our hotel and Jacob was amazing! He made sure we got the best places to view the aurora and beat the crowds. Would definitely book this tour again!
This excursion was undoubtedly one of the most magical experiences of my life. My entire trip to Finland was incredible, but this experience was truly the highlight. I would like to thank our wonderful guide, Nico, as well as another guide (whose name I unfortunately don’t remember), for their dedication and expertise in chasing the Northern Lights. The photos taken were absolutely stunning and very professional. When I returned home, I recommended this experience to all my friends and family, and I would highly recommend it to anyone reading this as well. I will never forget the feeling of watching the sky come alive with such incredible colors.
Had the best experience! Communication went very well and easy, also before the tour. The guide did a great job and was in no rush at all. We went wherever we had the best chances of seeing the northern lights and we did! The photos we received afterwards were also very nice.
Was fantastic and got to see the northern lights in many different locations. l
Best experience to see aurora borealis in Finland
It was truly an outstanding experience from start to finish. Our guide, Aurore, was incredibly caring. She checked in frequently, helped everyone stay comfortable, and made sure we were in the best position to view the lights. Her knowledge of aurora science was truly profound! I left the trip not only amazed by the aurora, but also much more informed. Great appreciation to Aurore!
Twas a great night out. Travelled far & wide hunting down the northern lights - and we found them. Amazing.
Excellent hospitality with expertise!
We had the best time ever! I went to Rovaniemi with my sister and my min and at first we were a little bit skeptics about whether you would have seen the aurora but then we were extremely lucky! Our guide Alexis was very nice and friendly, he explained everything very clearly and we had a lot of fun together!
Review for Northern Lights Rovaniemi: Guaranteed Viewing & Unlimited Mileage (December 2025) This experience did not meet my expectations. 1. Tour Guide(Lina)Experience – Our guide, Lina, primarily acted as a driver. There was little to no explanation about the Northern Lights, including the science behind them or the viewing conditions. I had expected a more informative, guided experience. 2. Advertising vs. Experience – The tour is described as offering “Unlimited Mileage,” but we were taken to a single location and remained there for the duration of the tour. There did not appear to be an effort to seek out clearer skies or improved visibility. At one point, we were invited to view the Northern Lights through the guide’s camera, which was not the experience I anticipated. 3. Customer Service – I reached out to the company following the tour and have not received a response. A follow-up would have been appreciated. 4. Value for Money – While weather conditions play a major role in seeing the Northern Lights, I expected a higher level of service given the price. Other tours in the area appear to actively relocate in search of better viewing conditions, which was not the case here. Overall, this experience was disappointing and did not align with the expectations set by the tour description.
So cool! Found them really quick and had heaps of time to watch them instead of driving around trying to find them Thanks team
Our guide Aneeq did everything in his power to get us to see the lights even though it was end of the season, he was amazing and explained what they had seen in their forecast earlier in the day, how the lights are formed, the best times to see them in the season and took amazing pictures of us with the lights
It’s guaranteed that you can see aurora. They even drive us from Rovaniemi to Sweden to chase the Aurora. It was amazing. The team also help us take photos using their professional camera. They did not limit how much photo we could take.
This was the most magical northern lights experience. Nothing was left to chance. The guide was attentive and knowledgeable, explaining how locations are chosen and how the lights worked. The photos I got back were unreal. I highly recommend this experience.
Last night was truly one of the best experiences of my life. I have never seen anything so beautiful – it was absolutely breathtaking. It felt like a very special and rare moment, so we feel incredibly lucky to have witnessed it. Our guide was extremely kind and friendly, and he took amazing photos of us, which made the experience even more memorable. We are so grateful for everything! Highly recommended
We had an amazing experience. We drove around 1.5 hours from Rovaniemi until the guide said we just have to wait and the auroras came 🤩
They’re not just someone who leads the way—they’re more like a guide who turns dreams into reality. On cold and unpredictable nights, they patiently monitor the weather and aurora activity, taking everyone to the best viewing spots. That alone shows incredible professionalism. What’s even more impressive is their passion and dedication. They carefully explain how the Northern Lights form, share local culture, and even help adjust cameras or teach photography tips so everyone can capture unforgettable moments. With such a guide, even long waits never feel tiring, because the whole experience is filled with anticipation and warmth. Meeting a great Northern Lights guide is truly one of the best parts of the journey
Me and my sister really enjoyed the Aurora experience, it was an amazing sight, finally being in the arctic circle, mesmerized by the beauty of northern lights. Our guide Matteo was great as well, very knowledgeable and inspiring.
We had a great experience with Arctic GM on their Northern Lights tour. The first night we didn’t see the auroras, but they kindly let us reschedule for free. The second time was amazing — we saw beautiful auroras! Our guide, Gabriel, was excellent in both tours. Very passionate, explained how aurora monitoring works, and went the extra mile to find the best spot for us (thank you Gabriel!). Highly recommended!
We had a fantastic time, Rui was an excellent guide, really kind and very funny. We saw some excellent displays from the lights and were so happy with our experience. Thanks so much! ☺️
The tour was great! Aurora our guide was so knowledgeable and never got tired of explaining us everything and taking us pictures. We had an amazing time.
Nice and experienced guide for aurora hunting! Minibus is also comfortable, offered with muffins and hot drinks for whole night tour.
Due to the clouds over Finland, we went to Sweden to view the lights. Aneeq has an excellent eye for spotting the lights while driving! He took some amazing photos of us as well. We are very pleased that we got him as our guide for the night.
We booked the Levi Northern Lights tour, and the weather conditions in Finland were very poor. We spent 9 hours on the road, even crossed the border, and finally got to see the Northern Lights on our last day. Our guide, Lachin, was phenomenal. He did everything he could to make sure we would see them. He chose an excellent viewing spot, and suddenly the Northern Lights were dancing above us. He repeatedly stood outside in the freezing cold to keep watch for us and made several stops whenever his app predicted activity. Everything was perfectly organized—simply outstanding. Thank you!
最高の経験でした! 天気が曇りだったため、ロヴァニエミからスウェーデンまで車を走らせて、無事にオーロラを見ることができました!!!!! こんな素晴らしいツアーはありません!本当におすすめです! ジュリア、本当にありがとう! It was the best experience ever! Since the weather was cloudy, we drove from Rovaniemi to Sweden and were able to see the Northern Lights successfully!!!!! There is no tour more amazing than this — I truly highly recommend it! Julia, thank you so much!
It was an okay trip - we caught Aurora going away from city, but the guide constantly kept taking pics and all the flash disrupted the experience.
Our first aurora hunt with Matteo was magic! He drove us to a very nice spot in Sweden, with plenty of room to move around, take pictures and most importantly the clearest view of the aurora, far from trees and clouds. The team was very helpful before the trip, giving tips, explanations and also helping organise a successful marriage proposal under the northern lights! Despite a technical issue on the way back to the hotel, our guide Matteo handled the situation in a remarkably professional and positive way, making his best to solve the situation and comfortably bring us back to our accommodations. We will never forget this night, and we really recommend this experience!
Jacob was a fantastic guide for us last night - he spent the time and effort to find us the best viewing of the northern nights during the equinox. You can tell he loves his job and wants everyone to experience it. Highly recommend
The tour was lovely and the aurora spot was gorgeous. It was an amazing experience and trip. Our guide Dani was very professional and friendly and managed to make super happy each and every one of us. Warm drinks and snacks added to the coziness as well
It was the best experience ever, our guide Perpaolo was amazing he knows about aurora borealis and he did a lot of effort to get the most impressive views, I would recommend this experience for everyone
Highly recommend the tour for those wanting to see the northern lights in Finland. Our guide Jade was a very good photographer and was punctual in picking us up and dropping us off in Rovaniemi and friendly too. The transport was as advertised. The lights are magnificent and truly a sight to behold! Thank you!
Nazariy was an excellent driver who went above and beyond to give us a world class Northern Lights experience! Weather was not great locally so Nazariy found where the weather was clear and off we went. Van itself was also comfortable. Really enjoyed the experience and will not forget the incredible views of the northern lights!
I had an amazing experience with Arctic GM on their Northern Lights Hunters tour! My guide, Pierpaolo, was absolutely fantastic—passionate, funny, and full of energy throughout the night. He made the whole experience so enjoyable, constantly driving to different locations to give us the best possible chances of seeing the Northern Lights. Thanks to his dedication, I was able to view the aurora at multiple spots, which made the night even more special. The chasing was well-organized, exciting, and truly memorable. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Rovaniemi—especially if you get Pierpaolo as your guide!
One word: fantastic! Of course, strong northern lights activity (which we had) makes a big difference, but the whole experience was excellent. We were picked up right on time, our guide Jamie explained everything clearly, and the bus was very comfortable. Having a picnic under the stars while watching the northern lights is something we’ll never forget.
Experienced your operator with high success rate of viewing northern lights. We did not manage to see the northern lights for 8 nights until we book a tour with Arctic GM.
our guide, Mateo was amazing, so helpful, joyful, and he drove 4.5 hours one way for us to see them! And he's also a pro photographer 🤗 they were on time, we had great communication and everything was a lot more than what we expected! highly recommend them, we will book again with them for sure!!
We started at 6 PM on 15th March 2026 from Rovaniemi in an overcast sky, but Marie drove us deep in to Sweden and placed us at the right spot to see nature's amazing Show. Everything could not be more perfect. Driving abilities above excellent. Placement for viewing great. Perfect explanations. It was Icing on The Cake to complete out Finland tour. Remaining was done by Mother Nature to show us that IT IS SUPREME.
The Northern Lights tour was absolutely beautiful and a great experience. In the van they served Finnish blueberry juice, which I had never tried before – it was so delicious that I immediately bought some afterwards. Our guide really made an effort to find the Northern Lights and to make sure we could see them, and we were lucky enough to experience them. It was truly magical. The photos will definitely be beautiful. You could take as many pictures as you wanted, which was great because everyone had plenty of time to capture the moment. I would highly recommend this tour!
We really enjoyed our guide Cedro, who was super helpful and did his best, and we really got to see and take pictures of some amazing auroras!
