Northern Lights Chase
Begin your Northern Lights adventure with Lapland’s first and original Aurora Hunters since 2016 — a team with over a decade of experience finding the clearest Arctic skies. Each evening begins with a real-time briefing on weather and Aurora activity before we choose the night’s direction. And when the best chances lie far from the city, we travel there. Travel in comfort in our premium minivans with warm clothing, hot drinks, snacks, and a small group of just 2–8 guests. We take you to exclusive private locations, always far from crowds, for peaceful surroundings and the best photographic settings. As the sky begins to glow, enjoy the silence while our professional photographer captures high-quality images of you under the lights. With our experience and deep knowledge of local weather, we give you the best possible chance to witness the magical Aurora Borealis.

We were able to safely see the aurora on a tour of about five hours. I was overwhelmed by the curtain of light that flickered. This is an experience you should definitely see once in a lifetime!

Unforgettable experience
Camila_vieraaa, April 2026
THE BEST TOUR OF PHOTOGRAPHY AND NORTHERN LIGHTS OF ROVANIEMI! Jana is really sensational! They have a photographer's jewel in their company! How lucky we were to have her! From minute one the tour was super friendly, we met different places, we took pictures, which made the time pass fast waiting for the auroras! Too bad it was our last day, if we come back we will definitely repeat with you! We had tours with another company the first two days and although well, nothing compares to the latter! It really was the cherry of the trip for us! Thank you very much Jana once again!

Magical experience with a lot of learning, thanks Finn!!
martinacerretani, March 2026
I joined a Northern Lights tour with the guide Finn, and it was simply an amazing experience. Seeing the aurora in person was indescribable—truly magical and something I will always remember. That said, I’m sure it wouldn’t have been the same without Finn. He is incredibly knowledgeable, and you can clearly see his dedication and passion for what he does. Throughout the experience, he shared his enthusiasm and expertise, making the tour even more special. The Arctic organization was also fantastic—everything was well planned and taken care of, from assistance to choosing the best spots to see the aurora. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for something unique and unforgettable!
