Below are the 15 best northern lights tours in Finland, with how far each one is willing to travel for clear sky, whether photographs are part of the price, what the campfire stop actually involves, and which run a free second night if the sky stays shut.

“They are very professional! I highly recommend this company. You can find cheaper offers online but they will just rip off your money. For 2 days they kept controlling the weather and they advised us that there were no chances to see it so in the end we got a full refund immediately. With other providers you just go out but they know from start that you won’t see anything and they keep your money.”

Thanks for a great experience!”

We found the Aurora 3.5hrs in, and then Ali was determined to get the big one. Ali even arranged to meet up with a bigger tour bus to provide bathroom facilities for my wife. We were both impressed with Ali’s dedication and service. Thank you for making it quite the experience, Ali.”

As soon as we saw the auroras we stopped and stayed there for an hour, we were lucky because the auroras even danced because we were patient enough to wait. It was a long trip with lots of driving but it was comfortable in the car and the heating was adjusted to our needs.”

“This was an incredible experience! We had Ali, Mirco, and Tony as our tour guides and they were all extremely optimistic and, at times, even more excited about seeing the lights than we were (even though they do this everyday!). We were really worried that we were not going to see the lights because it was a very cloudy night in Rovaniemi. We felt better as soon as we got on the bus as our tour guides reassured us that even though it was partially up to chance, they were taking us to clear skies and were confident that we would get some action. We ended up driving 2.5 hours…”

“The experience with the company didn’t start with the right foot because I sent several messages that came unanswered about pick up and drop off details . I was able to manage and once the tour started, we were advised that the conditions may or may not allow us to see the aurora. Unfortunately we were not able to see the lights ( and that is not the fault of the company , so no complains there) my complains come with the follow up after the tour. The main guide ( Berk I believe) said that he would have offered us a next day tour but that given the conditions,…”
