Join an intimate Northern Lights chasing and photography tour from Rovaniemi, with live aurora forecasting, professional photography, and a unique telescope experience under Lapland’s dark skies.

Getting started

Your evening begins with pick-up from your accommodation in Rovaniemi. Meet your owner-host and get a briefing on the night’s aurora hunt, including live cloud maps, solar activity, and the science behind the Northern Lights.

What to expect

Northern Lights chasing & photography

Head out in search of the clearest skies rather than a fixed campsite. Your route is planned in real time based on weather and solar activity, taking you to the best available viewing locations across Lapland and, when conditions allow, into Sweden.

Features

Dynamic aurora chase: Follow live cloud and solar activity data to find the clearest skies, with no fixed route or viewing location.

Small-group experience: Travel with a maximum of 8 guests, hosted directly by the owner for a personal experience.

Professional photography: Get professional photos of you with the Northern Lights, along with guidance on capturing auroras on your phone.

Live telescope experience: While chasing the aurora, use the Repo telescope to observe and photograph deep-sky objects such as Saturn, Andromeda, and the Orion Nebula.

Digital content: Receive professional aurora and deep-sky images, plus 360° video and social media-ready content via Dropbox within 24 hours.

Hot drinks & snacks: Warm up with Finnish hot tea and local snacks during the hunt.

Aurora guarantee: If no aurora is visible on camera, receive a complimentary second hunt on the next available night or a full refund if you have already left Rovaniemi.

What to bring

Bring your camera or smartphone if you wish to take your own photos, although tripods and cameras are available upon request.

Dress in warm layers suitable for Arctic temperatures, but note that winter overalls are not required as the van is kept warm throughout the tour.
