Highlights

Chase the aurora borealis on a Northern Lights Photography Tour from Rovaniemi. This guided adventure turns Finland’s elusive lights into stunning photos. An expert photographer leads you from the city’s glow to prime viewing spots. The dark sky becomes your canvas. Your guide helps you adjust your camera, find the perfect focus, and learn pro tricks for sharp, long-exposure shots. Whether you’re new to photography or a seasoned pro, you’ll capture the ethereal glow. They’ll even snap pictures of you under the lights with their gear—keepsakes to treasure.


While waiting for the aurora, gather by a campfire. Roast reindeer sausages and sip warm drinks as the Arctic chill bites. Your guide shares the lights’ story—solar winds meeting Earth’s atmosphere. They weave in Sami and Lappish tales, where the aurora dances as spirits or fox-fired skies. Clear skies and luck decide if the lights show, but the wait feels magical in this quiet wilderness. Transfers from Rovaniemi keep it easy, and the small group vibe adds intimacy. It’s a night of photography, culture, and nature—an Arctic spell cast through your lens and soul.
