Special Aurora Borealis Hunt

About this experience

Special Aurora Borealis Hunt Chase the Northern Lights across the Finnish Lapland wilderness on this dedicated aurora hunting expedition from Rovaniemi. Your expert guides will take you to the best viewing spots based on current weather and solar activity, travelling wherever necessary to maximise your chances of witnessing the Aurora Borealis. This isn't a rushed tour with fixed locations - your guides are committed to finding the lights, even if it means crossing into Sweden or Norway. Led by passionate aurora hunters who understand both the science behind the phenomenon and the optimal viewing locations around Lapland, this tour prioritises results over schedules. You'll travel through snow-covered forests, beside frozen lakes, and up hills in search of those dancing ribbons of green, pink, and purple light that make the Arctic sky come alive. What is Included Hotel pickup and drop-off Expert aurora hunting guides Professional photos and videos at no extra charge Thermal overalls and snowboots (when collected at meeting agency) Photography tips and assistance with your own camera or mobile device Scientific facts and stories about the Northern Lights Flexible routing to multiple viewing locations Good to Know The hunt typically lasts around 8 hours, depending on weather conditions and aurora activity. You'll meet at the agency to collect thermal gear if needed, then head out into the Lapland wilderness. Your guides are professional photographers who will capture high-quality images and videos of both you and any aurora displays. Dress warmly in layers underneath the provided thermal gear, and wear comfortable winter footwear. Bring a valid photo ID as the tour may cross international borders into Sweden or Norway to reach the best viewing spots. The experience is not wheelchair accessible due to the wilderness locations and winter conditions. While aurora sightings can never be guaranteed due to natural conditions, your guides will share fascinating insights about the lights and Arctic culture throughout the evening. If you're planning to explore more of Lapland's winter activities, consider pairing this with a traditional reindeer farm experience or take a husky sledding adventure to make the most of your time in Finnish Lapland.
