An In-Depth Look at the Northern Lights Private Tour

Starting Off: Luxury and Flexibility from the Get-Go

At 7:00 pm, your private guide will pick you up from your hotel, ready to start a night dedicated solely to Aurora hunting. What sets this tour apart from others in Rovaniemi is the personalized approach — you’re the only guests, so the guide’s entire focus is on your group’s comfort and success.

Traveling in a luxury SUV (either a Porsche Cayenne or Land Rover Range Rover), you’ll leave behind the artificial glow of the town and head into the dark Arctic wilderness. The no time or mileage limit policy means your guide can keep driving until the lights appear—this is crucial because the Aurora isn’t always predictable, but a dedicated guide will do everything possible to find clear skies and the best viewing spots.

How the Guide Works for You

From the glowing reviews, it’s clear that guides like Eerik and David are passionate and experienced. As one reviewer praised, “Eerik and the team made sure we saw the Northern Lights,” often driving far away to the best locations. This kind of dedication is vital because weather conditions change quickly in Lapland, and a good guide makes real-time decisions about where to go—sometimes crossing into neighboring countries—to find clear skies.

We loved the way guides monitor meteorological conditions constantly, ensuring you’re not just waiting under clouds, but actively chasing clear views. They also bring professional DSLR cameras to take unlimited high-quality photos of the Aurora and your group, so you don’t need to worry about capturing the moment yourself (or missing it).

The Journey and the Stops

The tour can last anywhere from 4 to 10 hours, depending on weather and aurora activity. This flexibility is key because, as one reviewer noted, “We drove till Sweden to chase the Aurora, and it was worth it.” The guides aren’t just trying to fill time; they’re committed to finding the perfect spot—a remote location away from light pollution with a good view of the northern skies.

Throughout the night, your guide will keep you updated on aurora forecasts, ensuring you’re in the best position. They also consider weather conditions, which can be tricky in Lapland, but their experience helps avoid cloud-covered areas as much as possible.

The Campfire and Local Flavors

A highlight that many reviews emphasize is the cozy campfire stop. Here, you’ll enjoy reindeer sausages grilled over open flames, infused with the aroma of Lapland’s culinary tradition. To add a touch of luxury, a sparkling wine toast is included, making the experience feel special. Warm hot drinks and cookies provide comfort in the Arctic chill—a thoughtful touch that elevates the outdoor experience from mere sighting to a memorable event.

The Experience of a Lifetime

People love how dedicated guides like Aslak, Jukka, and Gary tirelessly try to get the best view, even if it means multiple location changes or long drives. One reviewer shared, “Jukka was wonderful, guiding us to explore various locations and capturing fantastic photos,” highlighting the effort guides put into ensuring guests leave with unforgettable images and memories.

Authenticity and Value

While the price might seem high, it reflects the private, customized service, and the inclusion of professional photography and luxury transportation. Many reviewers felt the value was justified by the personal attention, high success rate, and comfort of the experience. After all, chasing the Northern Lights isn’t just about luck; it’s about expert guidance and adaptability—something this tour offers in spades.
