Description

Prepare your camera to be mesmerized by the enchanting northern lights during this unique night photography excursion in Lapland. Join a professional photographer who will share invaluable techniques to immortalize this breathtaking phenomenon.

Overview of the Photography Tour

There is no better way to witness one of nature's most stunning displays than through a specialized photography tour that ensures you leave with unforgettable memories of the aurora borealis. Experiencing the vibrant lights dancing across the night sky is a quintessential activity for anyone visiting Rovaniemi. Remember to bring your camera!

You will be collected from your accommodation in the heart of Lapland between 8 and 10 pm, marking the start of your extraordinary journey. Travel into the tranquil wilderness, approximately 25 miles (40 km) away from the city’s luminous skyline. This destination offers the perfect backdrop to witness this awe-inspiring natural spectacle.

As the night sky comes alive, you’ll have the opportunity to discover various scenic viewpoints in the serene Finnish countryside, where a professional photographer will provide insights and techniques to help you capture the elusive colors of the aurora. Throughout the evening, they will also take pictures of you that will be sent to you later, enabling you to cherish these memories and share them with loved ones.

To conclude your photography adventure, indulge in a delightful barbecue dinner featuring reindeer sausage, marshmallows, and blueberry tea. Gather around a campfire to share and learn historical and folkloric stories from local residents, creating an even more enchanting atmosphere as the night unfolds. Following this magical experience, transportation will be provided back to your hotel in Rovaniemi.

It is essential to note that the visibility of the aurora borealis cannot be guaranteed, as it is a natural event. Additionally, this tour includes fundamental tips for capturing the stunning hues of the northern sky, so don’t forget to have your camera at the ready!
