Rovaniemi, Lapland

Stand still.
Look up.

Some nights the Lapland sky opens slowly, and nobody says a word. We take six guests at most to where it is open, and wait with you for as long as there is a chance. Aurora nights, frozen waterfalls and Arctic animals, always in a small group.

The Approach

The sky decides.
We listen.

Most Lapland tours follow a fixed route on a fixed schedule. The sky does not.

We read the night as it develops: the Kp index, the cloud, the wind, the ice, the animals. Then we go where it is open, and we wait. Nothing is forced to fit a script.

Six guests at most, on every tour. No crowds, no bus. A small group, the cold, and a long look at something older than any of us.

How It Works

What to expect

  2. We read the conditions

    Cloud cover and KP index for aurora, animal activity at Ranua, ice safety at the waterfalls. The route is decided by what's actually happening, not a script.

  3. The tour

    Pickup in central Rovaniemi, then we go where the day is best — sometimes close, sometimes far. Hot drinks and patience included on every hunt.

  4. Your photos, within 72 hours

    Professional photos of you on the tour, processed and delivered within 72 hours.

Common Questions

Everything you need to know

How small are the groups?

Maximum 6 guests per tour, always. One van, one guide, room for everyone at every stop. We never merge groups or add seats.

What if we don't see the aurora?

You get another night free. If you take part in the full hunt and don't see the aurora with your own eyes, message us within 48 hours and we'll move you to the next available aurora hunt this season at no cost. Camera images don't count, only what you can see. We're also honest before you book: if the forecast for your night looks poor, we'll tell you and help you move to a better night. On the hunt we stay out while there's a realistic chance.

Where do the tours meet?

We pick you up in central Rovaniemi — hotel or a nearby meeting point agreed after booking. Drop-off is back in the centre at the end of the tour.

What should I wear?

More than you think. Thermal base layer, wool mid-layer, windproof outer layer, warm boots, hat and gloves. In deep winter we're outside at -15 to -25 °C for stretches. We carry hot drinks and can advise on rentals if you're travelling light.

What languages are the tours in?

English, Portuguese and Spanish — guided natively in all three, not translated. Tours run in English by default; if everyone in the group shares Portuguese or Spanish, the tour runs in that language.

Do I need a camera?

No. Your guide is a professional photographer and shoots portraits of you on the tour, delivered within 72 hours. If you bring your own camera or want to try with your phone, you'll get hands-on help with settings.

Are the tours suitable for children?

Depends on the tour. Ranua and the frozen waterfalls run in daylight and suit most children. Aurora hunts run late (typically 21:00–01:00) and involve waiting outside in the cold — children who can handle that are welcome. Ask us about private tours if you'd like a schedule adapted to your family.

What is the cancellation policy?

Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the tour. If we cancel due to hopeless conditions, you get a full refund or a free move to another day.

Can I combine tours or build my own day?

Yes — see Bespoke Lapland Days. Tell us what you'd like to see and we'll build a route and a price around it, often combining wildlife, aurora, and ice in one day.
