Highlights
Escape the glow of Rovaniemi’s city lights and chase the ethereal dance of the aurora borealis with a Northern Lights Tour in an Old Lappish Cottage, a night of Arctic enchantment steeped in tradition. Your adventure begins with a cosy car ride, whisking you deep into the wilderness to a secluded spot where the starry sky reigns supreme. After a short, crisp walk through the snow, settle beside a crackling open fire outside a rustic Lappish cottage, its weathered timbers whispering tales of the north. Here, as you grill savoury Lappish sausages over the flames. Your guide spins myths, shares quirky facts about Finnish life, and unravels the mysteries of the aurora— all while the vast, dark sky above teases the possibility of a shimmering light show.
Enjoy a front-row seat to nature’s grandest spectacle, amplified by the intimacy of a small group and the warmth of the fire. Your guide, armed with a high-quality camera, captures the moment as the northern lights grace you with their emerald swirls. Pick up some pro photography tips if you’ve brought your own lens to join the hunt. The magic lies in the waiting: the stillness of the Arctic night, the scent of woodsmoke, and the hope of witnessing the sky ignite, best under a clear, star-strewn canopy. With transfers from Rovaniemi included, this 3-hour journey blends folklore, photography, and the raw beauty of Lapland into an unforgettable nocturnal embrace.

It was fantastic! The guide Andrei was knowledgeable, kind and very helpful. He offers historical information, location information as well as information about the lights! The tour came with a slide show, hot drinks, biscuits, sausage over fire in the open as well as marshmallows! Love it! Highly recommended. And of course, we saw the lights.
