Your own Aurora hunting team with a professional photographer

Rovaniemi5 hours Easy

Operated by Beyond Arctic

A private Aurora hunt with a professional photography guide, taking you to the best spots around Rovaniemi to see and photograph the Northern Lights.

Experience the magic of Lapland and photograph the Northern Lights on a private tour with professional guides specialised in Aurora photography. The tour focuses on the Rovaniemi region and travels by jeep or minivan.

The tour begins with a private briefing on current weather conditions, Aurora forecasts and the destination of the day. Your guides rely on local weather research and live forecasts to give you the best possible chance of finding the lights.
