“The entire aurora hunt was perfect! Our guide, Vito, was extremely knowledgeable and insightful with where and when we could see the auroras. Vito was also a great person to chat to during the journey; once again he's very knowledgeable as to how auroras are formed and was also a great photographer!

“It was an amazing experience. That day it was so cloudy in Rovaniemi and there was literally 0 chance to catch the lights in our location. However our guides Dreece and Anni, did the impossible to catch the northern lights. We drove 2.5 hour up to the Swedish borders looking for clear skies. In the end we were able to view them from 2 different locations and it was great. The team was very patient, very friendly and very professional. We highly recommend booking with this agency.”

Saariselkä: Aurora Photo Tour by Car with Transfer & Drinks

12.Aurora Photo Tour by Car with Transfer & Drinks

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 116 reviews · 3 hours · from $135

Set out from your Saariselkä accommodation for a three-hour northern lights search by car. Your English-speaking guide checks likely viewing areas, explains the aurora, supplies warm clothes, hot drinks, and gingerbread cookies, and sends you a link to photos afterward. Clear skies and solar activity are essential, and sightings are never guaranteed.

“La guida molto gentile, però credo che bisognerebbe annullare l’attività se si sa (palesemente) che l’aurora non si potrà vedere. Non solo l’aurora aveva bassa percentuale, ma davano anche 100% copertura nuvolosa sia dove eravamo che nelle zone intorno. Anche la guida ce lo ha detto in macchina, quindi mi chiedo perché fare questo cinema se tanto si sa che non si potrà vedere. Si fa più bella figura a ridare indietro i soldi se non ci sono condizioni metereologiche adatte. Questa l’unica nota a sfavore, ci siamo sentiti un po’ presi in giro sinceramente.”
