AMG Travel takes you from Rovaniemi to a dark lakeside or riverside spot for a three-hour aurora hunt.

The outing may stay at one site or move if clouds spoil the view.
“It was amazing right from the start to the ending.”
Meet your English-speaking guide in central Rovaniemi, then ride into the dark forests to search for the aurora. A professional photographer helps with camera settings, takes portraits beneath the lights, and emails the finished photos. Reindeer sausage, marshmallows, and hot blueberry juice make the outdoor wait more comfortable.

The tour usually lasts four to six hours.
