Aurora info

The way we see the Aurora Borealis with our eyes is different from how it appears in photos.
To the naked eye, the lights often look softer and less colourful — our cameras capture more detail, brightness, and colour than human vision can perceive in the dark.

We cannot guarantee a specific type or intensity of aurora, as it is a natural phenomenon that varies each night depending on solar activity and weather conditions.

More info read our page “what is an aurora”

What to expect

How Long Does the Aurora Tour Take?

Our Northern Lights tours last a minimum of 4 hours and up to 10 hours, depending on the aurora forecast, weather conditions, and how far we need to drive to find clear skies.

Some nights the aurora appears close to Rovaniemi, making the tour shorter. Other nights, we may travel long distances ,even across the border into Sweden, to give you the best possible chance of witnessing the Northern Lights.

Since return times vary and can be very late (sometimes after 03:00), we recommend avoiding this tour the night before a scheduled flight.
