Top 15 Aurora Photography Tours in Finland

26 reviewed

Phone cameras have almost caught up, but a guide with a tripod and a spare battery still comes home with more at minus twenty. These 15 photography tours are the best in Finland, with which include portraits under the lights, which hand over edited files afterwards, how many people share one guide, and what the whole evening costs.

Rovaniemi northern lights hunt with guided photo setup, warm drinks, and professional images. Free photos and refund if no lights.

“It was a very nice experience, our Guide explained to us why we drove where we drove and we even did a toilet break. 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.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 326 reviews · 3.5 hours · from $104

Rovaniemi Northern Lights photo tour with a pro photographer, forest chase away from city lights, and Lappish BBQ snacks. 3.5 hours, $104.

“The tour was great and well organised, pick-up location is in the city centre which was a 2 minute walk from my apartment. The BBQ included- reindeer sausages or corn and marshmallows and ginger cookies, they also provided hot juice. We had a clear night but the aurora activity was looking low, however we waited and managed to see and capture the northern lights. The photographer did a great job capturing memories for everyone. We definitely stayed longer than advertised which ensured everyone got photos. The price was great, and the tour guides are very friendly thanks to Irene, Simona and Alex. Special thanks to Eva for capturing our memories…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 325 reviews · 3 hours · from $163

A 3-hour Northern Lights photo hunt in Saariselkä. Small-group minivan rides, warm breaks, and pro Aurora photography included.

“Something like this, where it’s luck dependant, will obviously heavily affect how you rate this your. Luckily for my booking (which I booked 2hrs before start time) we saw northern lights at all of our stops. They were absolutely beautiful, the tour was well organised - we have a lovely hot juice (maybe lingonberry?) and the frozen lake was 100% the best part. It was -20C so I cannot stress how important it is to wrap up warm, especially hands and feet! We spent quite a while at each spot to allow us to get lots of content! Our guide was brilliant and took loads of photos of each of…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 239 reviews · 3.5 hours · from $139

Small-group reindeer farm visit from Rovaniemi with a pro photographer, feeding time, and a short sleigh ride if snowy.

“If this is the only tour you do in Lapland, make sure it’s this one. We visited a local reindeer farm, met a bunch of reindeer, fed them, and had the chance to go on a short sleigh ride. What truly made the tour exceptional, was our guide Valeriia! She was absolutely amazing: incredibly knowledgeable about Finnish culture and the reindeer, warm, kind, and so efficient with time while never making the experience feel rushed. The group was small, which we loved. There were much larger groups at the same farm, but they didn’t get anywhere near the same level of 1:1 interaction with the reindeer that we did. It…”

Small-group Northern Lights hunt in Rovaniemi with local guides, DSLR photo help, warm drinks, and a Sweden backup plan for clear skies.

“Incredibly communicative from start to finish, plus an expert guide (Arttu) who knew just where to go. Northern lights tours can be real nerve-wracking because conditions change on a dime, and after two tours with other companies panned out I wasn't optimistic. But our guide explained the situation, taught us about the science behind the phenomenon, and got us to an amazing location where after about two hours we were treated to the most extraordinary show imaginable. The pictures are jaw-dropping, but there's nothing like seeing it with your own eyes. We just stood there and watched the show in amazement and real awe. It was truly unforgettable. Thanks to…”

“We, all three of us had a wonderful time. Heidi our guide was fantastic. She took us to lots of places to see the Aurora, being unsuccessful only on the first stop. All our stops after that after driving a considerable distance away from Levi were absolutely incredible. The photography side was brilliant, her knowing the techniques required to make absolutely stunning images of us surrounded by the Aurora. The warm juice, cookies and marshmallows provided were a welcome treat. She also went the extra mile in helping us lay the ashes of our dear departed Jon., whose spirit will forever be below this incredible natural phenomena. This trip was…”
