Northern Lights VIP Tour
Description
Are you ready to experience the northern lights in Rovaniemi? This exclusive Northern Lights tour tailored for intimate groups takes you deep into the Lapland forests with one clear goal: to witness the vibrant displays of this breathtaking natural spectacle.
Tour Overview
Following a pickup at your accommodation in Rovaniemi, we will embark on our journey northward, embracing the role of true seekers as we hunt for the elusive Northern Lights.
Your guide, skilled in the art of locating the Northern Lights, will commence the evening with an engaging overview of this extraordinary phenomenon—detailing its origins, how to interpret the readings that help in forecasting sightings, and sharing the night’s itinerary to enhance our chances of observing the lights.
While one guide remains at our base, tracking satellite and radar information, the other will keep us informed as we navigate towards areas with the clearest skies. With a selection of prime locations across Lapland, well away from artificial light and offering unobstructed views, we ensure to bring you to the most exceptional vantage points for viewing the Northern Lights.
As this is a natural phenomenon, we cannot guarantee a sighting of the Northern Lights. Nevertheless, we will strive to optimize your chances. If conditions are not right, exploring the enchanting Lapland forests after dusk will surely serve as a worthwhile adventure!
We’ll soak in the stunning arctic scenery as we await the spellbinding northern lights. Suddenly, the sky may burst to life with greenish glimmers—an unforgettable scene! Our guide will be on hand to capture stunning photographs of our group beneath the auroras.
Once we’ve experienced the lights, you may choose to linger as long as desired to observe if they become even more brilliant. When the time feels right, we’ll return to our vehicle and journey back to Rovaniemi.
In total, this experience spans between 6 to 10 hours, concluding with a drop-off at your hotel in Rovaniemi.
