The capital of Finnish Lapland, the vibrant city of Rovaniemi, is located in northern Finland. Beloved as the official hometown of Santa Claus, Rovaniemi is a nature lover and outdoor adventure enthusiast's paradise due to the vast wilderness and dense boreal forests that surround the town.

The adventure begins at one of the listed meeting points (please see 'special terms'). Once you've met your experienced and knowledgeable Aurora and photography guide, you and your group (a maximum of 8 people) will be provided with thermal overalls and winter boots along with a safety and itinerary briefing. Following a live Northern Lights weather forecast, your guide will take you into the hinterlands of Finnish Lapland to the best spots for Northern Lights observation and photography!

This Northern Lights tour from Rovaniemi features several stops with some walking included as well as hot drinks and light snacks, perfect on cold nights in Finnish Lapland! In addition to taking photos of you and your group (which will be sent the following day), the guide is happy to share Northern Lights nighttime photography tips along with fascinating facts about Arctic nature and the breathtaking Aurora Borealis. At the end of the Northern Lights tour from Rovaniemi, you'll return to the original departure point mesmerized by the Arctic wilderness and the magic of Finnish Lapland!
