How the night works
No two hunts are the same, but every night follows the same promise. We go where the sky is clear.
1
In the afternoon our guides analyse cloud radar, solar wind and aurora data, real-time forecasts and meteorological observations to choose the best direction for the night. The final start time is confirmed on the same day.
2
Standard Group meets at Ruokasenkatu 3 in Rovaniemi. On the Small Group tour we pick you up from your accommodation in the Rovaniemi area.
3
We follow live weather data, not a fixed route, and adapt as conditions change, even crossing into Sweden when needed. Some nights we drive for several hours, other nights a 30-minute drive is enough.
4
Once we find clear skies, we stay. While we wait for the lights, your guide tells you about the aurora, the Arctic landscape and Finnish folklore over snacks and warm drinks.
5
When the Northern Lights appear, your guide photographs you under the aurora with a professional DSLR camera.
6
At the end of the night we drive you back to your pick-up point. Your photos arrive by email within 24–72 hours.
Unforgettable moments
Standing under the dancing Northern Lights with the people you love is a moment you'll want to keep forever.
Our guides capture it for you with professional DSLR cameras, so you can stay in the moment instead of behind the camera and take home high-quality memories of your night in Lapland.
