Discover the magical winter wonderland of Lapland on a Northern Lights photography tour in Rovaniemi!

Rovaniemi is the capital city of Lapland, located in northern Finland within the Arctic Circle. Due to its remote location, witnessing the Northern Lights in Rovaniemi is a popular activity.

The Northern Lights photography tour in Rovaniemi begins at the meeting point in the city centre (pick-up is available from listed locations, please specify upon booking). An experienced guide will pick you up in a comfortable car and start driving away from the city. During the 45-minute scenic drive through the wilderness, you may begin to spot the magical Northern Lights in the night sky! The guide will track the weather and make stops along the way if the lights can be seen.

You'll arrive at a large lodge in the middle of the wilderness, equipped with bathrooms and other facilities. In a warm comfortable teepee, you'll gather around a campfire and enjoy hot drinks and snacks. The guide will share stories and information about the Northern Lights as you gaze up at the Arctic starry sky. If you're lucky, you'll also be treated to the beautiful colours of the Aurora Borealis. The guide will capture some professional photos of you with the lights, and they can also teach you some tips for taking pictures with your own camera. After the Northern Lights tour in Rovaniemi, you'll return to the original pick-up point.
