About this experience

Experience Lapland’s most famous natural phenomenon in a completely private and personalized way. This exclusive Northern Lights adventure is designed for travelers who value flexibility, comfort, and a more intimate experience away from crowded group tours.

With a private guide dedicated entirely to your group, the evening can be adapted to match your interests and travel style. Some guests prefer an active aurora hunt with changing locations and long drives in search of clear skies, while others enjoy a more relaxed evening focused on atmosphere, photography, and spending time in peaceful Arctic surroundings. The flexibility of a private tour allows the experience to naturally evolve throughout the night depending on conditions and your wishes.

Your guide uses local expertise, live weather forecasts, and aurora monitoring tools to maximize the chances of witnessing the Aurora Borealis. Along the way, you’ll learn about the science, myths, and local stories connected to the Northern Lights and life in the Arctic.

The experience combines adventure with comfort. Warm drinks, chocolates, cookies, and light snacks are available during the evening, and a traditional barbecue can also be arranged upon request. Since the tour is fully private, there is no rush or fixed group schedule, the evening moves entirely at your group’s pace.

This tour is also an excellent option for photography enthusiasts. Your guide can help with camera settings, Northern Lights photography tips, and capturing high-quality portraits and aurora photos throughout the experience. All professionally taken photos from the tour are included and delivered digitally within three days after the experience.

Program

  1. Pickups, Winter Clothing & Aurora Planning

    Your private Northern Lights adventure begins with pickups from your accommodation or meeting at the Rovaniemi Insider office in Rovaniemi. Before departure, your group is provided with warm winter clothing while your guide reviews the latest weather and aurora forecasts to plan the best possible route for the evening.

  2. Start Your Exclusive Aurora Adventure

    Once preparations are complete, your private aurora hunting journey begins. With only your group and the guide in the vehicle, the experience is fully exclusive and tailored to your wishes for the night ahead.

  3. Flexible Route & Personalized Experience

    Unlike standard group tours, this private experience allows complete flexibility throughout the evening. Depending on weather conditions and your preferences, the tour can include multiple viewing locations and longer drives in search of clear skies, or a more relaxed evening with fewer stops and time spent enjoying the Arctic surroundings.

  4. Northern Lights Viewing & Arctic Treats

    At carefully selected viewing spots, you’ll search for the Aurora Borealis while enjoying hot drinks, chocolates, cookies, and snacks under the Arctic sky. A traditional barbecue experience can also be arranged upon request, adding extra warmth and atmosphere to the evening.

  5. Personal Photography Experience

    As this is a completely private tour, your guide can fully focus on your group throughout the night. There is plenty of time for photos, and your guide is happy to help capture portraits, group pictures, and aurora photographs while also sharing photography tips when needed.

  6. Return to Rovaniemi & Photo Delivery

    After an unforgettable evening chasing the Northern Lights, we return comfortably to Rovaniemi for drop-offs at your accommodation. All photos taken during the tour will be professionally edited and delivered digitally within three days of the experience.
