What an amazing experience. Ivan and Santiago were really helpful in making the most of the experience. Their expertise helped us see the aurora even when it was cloudy over Rovaniemi - and we drove to Sweden for the same
A big thank you to Artur and Nazar for making this adventure so memorable. Artur was knowledgeable and shared fascinating explanations about how the Northern Lights form and their history. We witnessed spectacular green auroras dancing right above our heads, clearly visible to the naked eye! Highly recommend Book Lapland, especially Artur and Nazar 💚
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What an amazing experience! Seeing the Northern Lights in person was something we'll never forget. It was such a beautiful and special moment, and honestly, even better than we expected. We had a fantastic time and made some wonderful memories. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Lapland. Highly recommend it! Artur, Nazar and Hector were great guides! 5🎖 also for them!
Lachin and Santiago were very professional and made sure that everyone enjoyed the experience and got the best pictures ever! They were patient and kind, reminding us that nature cannot be controlled. We were very lucky: a wonderful and intense aurora borealis came after two other events during the same evening. They were completely right to advise us to wait!
We had an absolutely amazing experience on the Northern Lights tour! Everything was well organised, and our guides (Lachin and Santiago) were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate. They went above and beyond to find the best spots for us to see the Northern Lights and made sure everyone had a wonderful experience. Seeing the aurora dancing across the sky was truly magical and an unforgettable moment. The whole experience was worth every minute, and we couldn't have asked for a better evening. Highly recommend this tour to anyone hoping to experience the magic of the Northern Lights! 🌌✨
Very experienced team, kind and friendly. I really enjoyed the tour. The tour started at 19:15 and we started heading back to Rovaniemi around 22:30. The length of the visit gave us enough time to admire the northern lights and get our photographs taken. Very good value for your money. I highly recommend Santiago and Lachin, as well as our bus driver, all from BookLapland. The team kept updating me for any changes regarding the starting time of the tour, all through The Get your guide app messaging system. This gave me peace of mind because I was really nervous about missing the tour. Thank you for this lovely experience!
We had an amazing experience chasing the Northern Lights! Our guides and photographers, Santiago and Ladkin, were both incredibly kind, friendly, and professional. They made us feel comfortable throughout the experience and went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable evening. Their photography skills were excellent, and they did their best to capture some beautiful moments under the Northern Lights. Highly recommend this experience, especially with Santiago and Ladkin! Thank you both for such a wonderful and unforgettable night!
I enjoy the moment. Tour guides are very helpful
Lachin and Santiago have a very warm, welcoming and fun way of treating with people. They were very polite and professional, I would absolutely recommend the experiene to anyone!
Santiago was with us and he was a great work
Everything was perfect! Santiago was super nice ! 100% worthy
Santiago & Lachin were excellent guides & we were blessed with an amazing light show from aurora lights with plenty of photo opportunities. Recommended.
Fabulous experience! Santiago and the other guide, took us to a good spot to watch the Northern Lights..Took photos of us and helped .where possible to help with the electronic issues.Very friendly and knowledgeable. . Didn't seem in a rush at all.
Amazing experience. We got an extraordinary night full of Northern lights. The tour is quite expensive but it worth it. Santiago and Lachin are top guides and photographer.
All very helpful. Had an amazing experience
Amazing Northern Lights experience! The tour was well organized, and our guides. Toni & Max were knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about making the experience special. Truly memorable and highly recommended!
We managed to see the Northen lights and get amazing photos! Tony and Max were great and had so much patience while taking photos. Overall was a great experience. Definetely recommend
Bus was comfy, pick up was well planned, guides did their best for the right location, photography was superb
The experience was really good! The weather in Rovaniemi wasn't great, so we were a little bit sceptical about whether it would work out. But it did! We drove for approximately 1.5 hours to a beautiful spot, where we stayed for about two hours. We got to see the Northern Lights in a stunning location by a lake. It was cold, and we really appreciated the warm drinks and cookies. Maybe it doesn't sound like much, but being able to warm up again was just perfect. Both guides and photographers, Ana & Oliver, were really nice and patient. They communicated clearly and respectfully throughout the experience. We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend this experience!
Toni and Hernan were very nice and professional. They provided us hot drinks and free snacks while we were waiting the northern lights to show up. The aurora was very bright towards the end of the tour even though the forecast said it would not be strong. They took great pictures of me with the aurora. I am so glad that I booked with Book Lapland.
Luca was Theo best Guide we could have. Friendly and Always looking dir northern lights
Our guide, Sara and Atte were well-known for an Aurora phenomenon. Luckily, we could see the huge Aurora at the first spot we went. It was amazing and had a great memory for us.!!
Had to take the tour next day as weather was not good for the lights . On the day we had to travel a bit far from the city , near Sweden border . Good effort by the team .
Tuomo and Alexis were both awesome guides. The bus ride to our first stop was smooth and didn’t take too long. Once we got out of the bus the northern lights were on full display. They also had multiple professional cameras for people to take photos. Was truly an amazing experience and one that my fiancée and I will never forget.
I had another amazing night with the Booklapland. Our guides Alexis and Tuomo found amazing spots to hunt Norternlights. It was fantastic&magnificent night. We had Nothernlights shower in the wonderfull forest spots✨️Thank you so much😊
The tour was incredible and our guide Lucas was very nice. He picked up at the hotel on time, drove well, found good places to see the lights and was very kind!
Very beautiful and the guide is totally amazing Sara and Tooho both of them are very kind and explain a lot of aurora detail to me
Very nice and lucky aurora is beautiful
We had a great time ! Alex was amazing, he took beautiful photographs and made it so memorable. Alex is very friendly with young Kids and explained about Aurora lights so well. Definitely recommend Alex and his team. Thank you Alex.
We had an excellent experience; it was a true privilege to come here and behold this natural wonder. Thanks to Oliver and Atte, who were very attentive in taking photos of us; it was a pleasure sharing this tour with them. We were able to chat a bit with Oliver, and he shared some interesting stories with us. We will undoubtedly leave Costa Rica very happy after this experience.
Such a great experience, we enjoyed it very much! The service was amazing, Oliver and Atte are very kind. Oliver even took time to tell us some stories about the beliefs of the origins of northern lights. We highly recommend doing a tour with them.
Loved the experience. Oliver and Atte did a pretty good job with the pictures and explanations.
Before the tip, we were waiting in a cozy warm room with terrible coffee though. The bus was nice to be honest, nice blue lights inside, very pleasant journey. After we arrived to the destination they said that we will go to some another place so we could be there alone. That was nice. On that second destination we were waiting! A lot! And nothing, just dark night. Although there were very nice stars. And then BUM. Aurora! The best thing in the world, we could see it with our own eyes! You have to be lucky to see the aurora, but you have to keep trying. This was our third day. Those 2 days before were cancelled. Thank you so much. We had like the best guides in the world. Super nice professionals.
Great aurora chasing expérience with the two young guides Max and Max . Very good guides .
Atte was great, explained everything, took us to a great location and patiently took a lot of photos as the aurora changed with us. Warm drinks and some biscuits definitely helped with the cold. Well worth it.
The aurora wasn’t very strong, but we were still able to see it, which was an amazing experience. Our guide, Mr. Alexis was very kind, friendly, and made the tour a lot of fun. We also really appreciated the warm drinks they provided. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and a memory I’ll cherish for a lifetime!
Had an amazing experience with Alexis. Explained in details the phenomenon. Very polite, took great photos of us. Highly recommend.
It was a lovely experience, our tour guide SK is very experienced in finding auroras. We were unsure at first whether we were going to see it as the weather has been really bad the whole week, and also the same for the day they have finally decided to set out the tour. None of the stats were going our way but they believe that it is the right day to head for the hunt! And it was indeed our lucky day and we even managed to see dancing Aurora! SK was also very experienced explaining how they hunt for auroras, what we are looking at, what the different colours mean. We even got to see the red one with our naked eyes!
I was happy to see more of the aurora than I expected.
最高でした!!ありがとうございます😊 This was my first time joining an aurora tour. The weather didn’t look very promising, but the guides patiently kept searching for the best spot for us. In the end, we were able to see a truly beautiful aurora, and I’m extremely happy and grateful for the experience. It was absolutely worth it! I highly recommend this tour to everyone! ✨
I learned so much! Sara did a great job with everything. Very entertaining. It was a small group and they can take as many pictures as you like. That's not something you can do with a large group. I recommend this tour.
SK has been great with ensuring we get to experience the best of the auroras. She was very vocal and coordinating and has clicked some amazing photos for us to cherish these lifetime memories. Thank you SK and Book Lapland! Well recommended!
Excellent trip. Managed to get to see the northern lights. definitely worth it.
Worst experience I’ve ever had. My original booking for 26th Feb 2026 kept getting cancelled and was finally moved to 28th Feb. Since it was my first trip to Finland, I adjusted my flights to 1st March early morning just to make this aurora tour work. Before the trip, I specifically confirmed with their staff that we’d return by around 2:00–2:30 am. Instead, we got back at 4:00 am after an 8–9 hour trip (even going into Sweden), causing me to miss my flight and spend an extra £300 on a last-minute ticket. When I raised this, the manager refused to compensate me and simply refunded the tour to GetYourGuide—which I won’t even receive as it was a sponsored booking. On top of that, the “professional photos” were terrible—blurry, rushed, and not worth it. Completely unprofessional and careless. I would not recommend this company to anyone.
Luca was an exceptional guide and truly made this experience unforgettable. He reached out ahead of time to let us know the tour start time had shifted slightly, which I really appreciated—it set the tone for how organized and thoughtful the entire experience would be. We met downtown at the main office and headed out with a small group of eight, which felt just right. Everything was clearly well planned, and Luca created a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere where everyone felt comfortable and informed throughout the tour. I did this with my 10-year-old daughter, and it turned out to be one of those once-in-a-lifetime experiences we’ll both remember for years. After some incredible viewing and photo opportunities, Luca built a fire where we warmed up with hot drinks and cookies—such a cozy and perfect ending to the evening. Absolutely worth it—100% recommend!
An honest experience with excellent and professional service. The people are also very knowledgeable, so we learned something new.
Great tour and pictures. Jeremias and Toni are great. Thx
The guides Jeremias and Toni were awesome. We have got excellent views of the northern lights and the photographs were amazing. They never got tired of clicking more pictures. The complementary hot drinks at the start and while watching the northern lights made us feel more comfortable in cold weather conditions.
Amazing experience, Thanks Olivier and max
