Toni was our guide and did an amazing job of getting us to a lesser known spot on the edge of a lake. The Aurora was incredible! His pictures are out-of-this-world! So beautiful of the immense Aurora colors spread fully across the sky. We will cherish the pics of us with that in the background for years. He also had a great fire to keep us warm wonderful beverages and treats. We LOVED Toni.

An excellent tour made exceptional by our guide TONI. He knew the exact spot where to spot the Aurora, and we spotted and how. Very soft spoken and knowledgeable. Our best day of our Finland trip.
Our tour guide, Jake, was very professional and knowledgeable, which made the entire experience comfortable and enjoyable. He carefully selected a good viewing spot and explained many interesting things about the northern lights and the local area. We were fortunate enough to see a beautiful aurora, which was truly unforgettable. The tour was well organized, comfortable, and felt very special. It was definitely worth choosing a private tour, and would highly recommend it.
We experienced the Northern Lights tour with Mirco and Annie and it was absolutely incredible. They were beyond professional and explained everything so clearly throughout the experience. Mirco, in particular, was fantastic—his passion and love for what he does truly shine through. He has a special ability to share every detail in a way that keeps everyone engaged and happy during the entire tour. Highly recommended!
We had an absolutely wonderful experience on the Northern Lights tour. The organization was excellent from start to finish. They brought plenty of snacks for everyone, warm drinks to keep us cozy, and even firewood to make a campfire, which made the whole experience feel magical and comfortable. Our tour guides, Luca and Jessica, were incredibly kind, well-organized, and professional. They took amazing professional photos of us and gave everyone plenty of time to take as many pictures as we wanted. We never felt rushed, which we really appreciated. They made a warm fire for us and kept the bus heated the entire time, so anyone who felt cold could go inside and warm up whenever needed. That thoughtful detail made a big difference, especially in such cold weather. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I would happily do it again anytime. Highly recommended!
It was really great !!! Jake was a great photographer and he explains how the aurora born !! Great music by the way on the car. I love this experience !!! I would do it again.
Successful aurora hunt with Jake and Atte in freezing cold -18 degrees! Have great pictures taken!
A fantastic tour, we saw a spectacular Northern light
We had an amazing experience on this northern lights tour, thanks to our guide David. He was extremely professional and enthusiastic throughout the night, and he found an excellent spot with clear skies where we saw a truly spectacular aurora display. David also took great photos and videos for us, which made the experience even more memorable. Everything was well organised, and his passion really showed. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience.
Our guide Elisei made everything he could so we could appreciate the northern lights. He was very attentive and enthusiastic, which let us very excited. We head to Sweden in order to find a clear sky and, after about 3 hours, we saw a weak one, and even though we were very happy with this, he did not stop until we had a stronger sight. We took lots of pictures and had lots of fun. Thank you for the experience. Unforgettable
We had an unforgettable Northern Lights hunting experience with our guide, Samuli, and we are very grateful for it. He is friendly, caring, patient, and very knowledgeable about the Northern Lights. Samuli is also a professional photographer and, with great patience and skill, took beautiful photos of us. The hot drinks and cookies were a lovely extra. In short, this was a once-in-a-lifetime experience and a true highlight of our visit to Rovaniemi. Highly recommend this tour!
Huge thanks to our tour guide David for taking us on the Aurora Northern Lights tour! 🌌 An absolutely magical experience from start to finish. His knowledge, patience, and passion made the night unforgettable. Truly an amazing experience! The auroras were dancing right in front of our eyes
Amazing experience Tony is the best ❤️ Once of the best day of my life. Thank you Tony for being so nice with me 🙏🏼
We had an amazing aurora hunt! Once in a lifetime experience ❤️ We were in a six people group so we opted for the private tour option, we got picked up from our hotel in Saariselka. Thomas was an amazing guide, and took us to the bests spots. He explained in detail and clarified all of our questions regarding auroras and their nature. We drove until we found the auroras The photos and timelapses Thomas took with his camera were breathtaking. 100% recommend the tour!
Our tour was average and not worth the price charged. It lasted about five hours in total. The aurora was only visible through the guide’s professional camera; it was not visible to the naked eye. There was no sparkling drink as previously informed, and no cold-weather clothing was provided. In the long-exposure photos, the sky does appear green, but when looking with the naked eye, it does not. In fact, the guide was constantly taking photos of the dark sky to check whether there was any aurora. The impression we had is that they do everything possible to obtain a photo showing the aurora, but do not focus on finding conditions with enough intensity for us to actually admire it with our own eyes.
The tour was absolutely incredible. Milka was extremely attentive, kind, and genuinely caring throughout the entire experience. Even with the extreme cold — I believe we reached around -35°C — she made a point of staying with us for a very long night, taking beautiful photos and constantly searching for the best spots to see the Northern Lights. On our way back, she noticed new aurora activity and suggested we stop again — and that moment turned out to be even more visible and absolutely breathtaking. Milka was amazing and truly made this experience unforgettable.
Our guide is so nice! We got an excellent experience by his patience and persevrance. When we started our chasing, the weather is snowy and windy. After about 3 hours north, the sky became clear. After 5 hours driving and about 400kms deep into the arctic circle, we reached a rural park and started to wait. At 1:30am we saw the dim aurora. At that time, the predicted best Kp would be 2am. But the aurora didn't show it at that time. When the time past to 3am, we were disappionted because it seems we would waste a night. But our guide told us to get down the vehicle with his excited words. And the aurora is there on the sky! So wonderful! At 3:40am we saw the second round aurora. We are rewarded with 16 hours driving and waiting.
I 100% recommend this your it’s great. Money well spent, they are well equipped and the service is excellent.Best northern lights I’ve ever seen
We upgraded to a small group northern lights tour as the larger group one was cancelled due to cloudy weather. The smaller mini bus was able to drive us 3 hours north to chase the lights. Dennis was professional and knowledgable- explaining to us how he uses the data to find good locations to see the lights. We were disappointed! Dennis found us great places and the lights were fantastic- he never tired of us asking for him to take our photos! It was a long drive- but if you are serious in seeing the northern lights- you won’t mind! Thank you so much Dennis for such a memorable experience.
The best experience in my life ✨✨✨✨also the best tour guide janne 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️ ✨💫✨💫✨✨✨✨✨💫✨✨✨✨✨✨✨💫✨✨❤️✨❤️✨✨✨✨✨✨❤️❤️✨✨
Amazing experience with Leevi who is our guide for the evening . Will highly recommend Leevi to be the tour guide if you would like to have a magical northern light experience. Thanks Leevi for this once in a lifetime experience .
Our guide Leevi was extremely professional in hunting for aurora and taking photos. Thank you for the once in a lifetime experience!
The best Birthday ever after one attempt we saw it and thank you Leevi and Jake friendly and very accommodating can’t wait to tell friends back in London with our experience
It was really amazing!! I had best night ever. Paul did great to help us keep warm and find northern light! He was best guid ever. I really appreciate for Paul’s hardworking!
Eerik and the whole team is just wonderful, he made sure we saw the Northern lights. He drove us far far away to make sure the weather is perfect and we see the lights clearly! We finally did it!! Thanks to him! He is simply amazing
We were really looking forward to see the northern lights and to have the best pictures of this phenomenum. Since we wanted the dog Plouf (a golden retriever) to join us on the 'hunt', we decided to book a private tour. Just the two of us, Plouf and the guide/driver/photographer Eetu. It was absolutely sensational. We did not even have to drive too far because the lights were visible on half an hour drive from Rovaniemi, around 9 p.m. already. We got out of the car on some quiet and dark place and we started to make pictures in the snow. We took some ourselves, but Eetu took most of them. I am happy he did because his pictures turned out to be gorgeous. Plouf was posing like a diva, not disturbed at all by the cold, the snow or the green lights that were dancing behind her. Eetu took pictures of the nordic lights themselves and of us. Actually he took pictures of anything we asked and proposed sone nice views himself as well. Eetu took good care of us. He brought biscuits and warm drinks. He was friendly, passionate about his work, professional, interested, and we had very nice conversations in the comfortable minibus. We received the pictures a couple of days later, some of them edited (the most beautiful ones) and the others in their original form. These represent hundreds of wonderful souvenirs from a great night in Lapland. We are very happy that we chose Book Lapland for this great experience and are grateful that we had such a nice driver/guide/photohgrapher.
David was an amazing guide, very patient and clearly experienced. His driving was extremely prudent, and his photography skills were top-notch! This experience was incredible!
It was one of the best night ever. We drove till Sweden to chase the Aurora and indeed it was worth it. I would really like to thank Aslak our tour guide who made it possible. He did not give up and made sure that dreams come true. Thank you BookLapland team 😊
Aurora tour was great. Thanks to our tour leader Aslak, he is very kind and try his best to let us see the beautiful aurora.It was a cold and great night.
인생의 첫 오로라 감상을 매우 성공적으로 마쳤습니다. 투어 가이드는 좀더 나은 오로라를 보여주기 위해 이동을 해주었습니다. 매우 친절하고 열정이 넘치는 가이드와 함께 할수 있어 영광이었습니다. 다음에 또다시 로바니에미에서 오로라 헌팅의 기회가 온다면 망설이지 않고 같은 투어를 선택할것입니다. Thank you for giving me such as treasure time!!
The tour was great. We were a little worried about cloud coverage and asked the operator if we should shift to the next day. They said that while there is no guarantee, they were positive we would see some. Despite that they still were super flexible and offered to move. We went and had a great time. Our tour guide was Askel. He was fantastic. He was super patient taking pictures and was out there in the freezing cold for hours once we had found a spot where the Aurora was popping up. The tour took 5 hours and was solely focused on the northern lights. We saw two flare ups and had just the best time. I can only highly recommend it. One strike off the bucket list.
I went on this tour with guide Aslak, and I think it was the right choice! It wasn't an easy night because of the clouds, but he drove us to a very nice site where we could enjoy the northern lights and take as many photos as we wanted. He also brought hot juice, cookies, and firewood to make the wait kinder. Recommended!
It was an amazing and huge evening with Jukka! He helped me to find the best moment and best spot for my proposal. Thank you !
The aurora trip was one of the best I have ever been on. Jones was a great guide, passionate about his job and made sure we saw some amazing auroras! He never gave up and kept trying to get us the best view. I would highly recommend Book Lapland for all your aurora hunting tours!
Our guide Eetu who took us on the Aurora Chase with photography is amazing! He did his homework and had a team of Aurora chasers providing information on the Aurora sighting, time and locations. Highly recommended! He took lovely photos of our family and also for individuals! Kept up warm with hot blueberry juice and gingerbread cookies. We captured the strong Aurora Borealis and definitely worth the price tag.
My group was only in Lapland for two more days and we knew that there was only one day where the skies were clear and we could potentially see the Aurora. We took a chance and went to Book Lapland to see if they could accommodate our group of 14 for an unlimited tour the same day and, sure enough, they accommodated us! We met Pham at the office and she was a pleasure to work with. She was so informative and so warm that we knew we came to the right place. We booked two private tours because there were 14 of us and they were so accommodating to our needs as we were also traveling with older people. Paul and Julia were so professional, friendly and knowledgeable, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. But best of all — we saw the Aurora! Paul was so experienced in finding the spots and taking photos. We will surely be utilizing Book Lapland again whenever we are in Lapland.
Jukka was wonderful. He is really an expert in guiding for the Aurora lights and an excellent photographer. We went to various locations and explored Aurora lights.
We had a top guide. The experience was incredible we could see beautiful auroras
Really wonderful experience! Nature did its part but the guides really did everything to make us live the best experience possible! Absolutely recommended
The seriousness of the job. We were in several places and finally found the auroras. Exceptional guide jack.
Amazing trip!! Unbelievable view
Amazing!! Jonathan was amazing, we went hunting all night, and even with cloudy weather, we managed to find several times, lights of varying colors. Amazing experience, impeccable service!
Incredible, despite a fairly low activity we could still see beautiful aurora borealis. The team was at their best, they did their best to make sure we had a wonderful experience. Small campfire supplement with drinks and cakes. Thank you very much Ollie and Jess!!
We loved the walk, we had an amazing experience. Our guide Elizei did not measure efforts to ensure that we spotted the aurora boreal in 4 different places.
I want to tell you that the company of you is highly recommended. Attentiveness at the counter, during the time to come and find us, in the treatment towards us in a few words was all excellent and much more because the attention of Mr Arthur the guide is impeccable and unbeatable. Hopefully they always have that quality of people working with tourists. I congratulate you and recommend!!!! And for Arthur I continued like this!!! that your attention and ambality is ☆☆☆☆☆
A super experience, very friendly all, super punctual and patient, helped us with the photographs. The very responsible driver
Aurora is something I wanted to see before I die in my life. It was the best thing I could do with my friends to see it, to be moved by it and to enjoy it. Thank you for the best experience.
A spectacular tour, they look for the best place for you to enjoy and live the experience to the fullest. Ali is the best guide!!! We were thrilled to see them live. A dream come true!!!
Fantastic tour with Mirco our guide who accompanied us with professionalism and enthusiasm. We were also lucky to find a beautiful aurora.
