Highly recommended!! - My friend and I joined this Aurora-Northern Lighs Trip Photographing Tour on 17th February 2024. We were so lucky we were able to see and witness the spectacular and magical Aurora Borealis! Thank you very much! Our tour guide Aneeq was very nice and accommodating. He made sure that we keep warm and provided our snacks. We had the best hot blueberry juice ever! He’s also very knowledgeable, gave us infos about the tour. If ever we’d come back to Rovaniemi, I’d definitely book tours with you again! I even told my friends about Lapland Welcome, if they would go to Rovaniemi. Excellent!!! 👍👍👍👍👍

Pleasant tour with a very friendly guide - We booked this activity ad hoc as we wanted to take advantage of the good weather and hoped to see aurora. Our guide Kamila met us in the office and took care of us as well as other participants. She then drove us to quite remote place outside Rovaniemi, making a few stops on the way and checking for auroras. we then arrived to a place with tepee where Kamila made fire and we were had some barbeque (vegetarian option was available for us). We loved hot blueberry juice. Unfortunately we were not lucky to see aurora but Kamila looked after us very well and did everything to make our time as pleasant as possible.

Good tour but not what we... - Good tour but not what we were looking for. The announce is not clear, title is "photograph Northerrn lights " but tour is with big group (not indicated), we do not hunt any northern lights, just go to a place (very nice place) in the nature and if you are lucky you can see northern lights and have just one picture, that's all. If you are looking with a saussages barbeque, this is the right tour, otherwise pass over.

Great Experience - We unfortunately weren’t able to see any Northern Lights that night but the overall experience was great, the guides still managed to make it a good time and took the effort to drive around hunting for them in the hopes of finding any. Would definitely recommend this.

Quite nice, but... - We booked the tour in the morning, full of anticipation. Unfortunately, we were a bit pressed for time, so we didn't use the pick-up service and showed up at the office at the agreed time in the evening. At first it seemed as if they didn't know what to do with us, and after I was asked for my name a second time, we were told to sit down and wait... We did that, for a full 30 minutes and nobody felt responsible for us... then we finally got our thermal suits and got into the van that was supposed to take us to the Northern Lights. We already got a queasy feeling when we drove off with the high beams on, because the low beams didn't work. When the engine control light, cooling system and countless other lights came on, the anticipation evaporated... You were only worried about whether you would even arrive alive. In total we drove for about 50 minutes (including a short stop at a parking lot where we saw the only northern lights) until we arrived at a hotel. From there we walked about 200m to an open space at the edge of the forest where the hut was where we ate (freshly grilled food, including vegetarian options, hot drinks like tea and coffee). Unfortunately there were no northern lights visible there, but that's not the organizer's fault. We didn't go up the mountain that was advertised, as written in other reviews, because our group (about 15 people) was too big and there were too many children, according to our driver. Since we had booked the tour in German, we were very disappointed that only one guide spoke a little German, but that wasn't enough for more detailed explanations. Overall the tour was quite nice, but our expectations were far from fulfilled due to the poor organization, the language barrier (unfortunately my companion couldn't speak any English) and the constant fear of breaking down with the van.

Experience not to be repeated - I decide to book this excursion highly recommended by Lonely Planet. We meet at the meeting place (their headquarters) to equip ourselves and set off on the "search for the Northern Lights". Loaded into a 9-seater van, a journey of about 45 minutes awaits us with 2 short stops in between to look at the sky for a few seconds and leave again disconsolate but still full of energy. We reach the refuge, walk on foot for a few minutes and camp in a tent with a fire lit. Nothing at all about the Northern Lights. In the camp they offer us frankfurters, chicken nuggets and grilled kebabs to eat; cranberry juice to drink. After dinner we settle outside and the guide starts taking photos of each of us with the Northern Lights created with the flash of his iPhone in the background. Annoyed by the unproductive evening, we decide to go home but there is no room in the van for everyone and we have to wait for a taxi to come and pick up 2 people who would otherwise be on foot. Alas, there are a few things to review.

Frauds - This company and owner are FRAUDS. It’s more than a month since we took this tour and are back to Dubai also. I have been following up since 11th March every single day since two weeks asking them to share the pictures that were taken on their DSLR. 1st they said that the pictures have come blurry. Then they share some of their existing pictures which are already posted on Instagram. Then the they sent some other groups pictures. Trip advisor has awarded them some most photogenic award. I think you should review it and take back the award. ITS the WORST Tour company in Roveniemi LAP - T64275081 BR-1113126025

Just because it’s cheap doesn’t mean it’s good - I wish I had read all the reviews before making this booking. All the bad reviews are true . They are not worth it . They will say it’s a small tour but in actual they will stuff a lot of people on 2 buses and take you a lane owned by company . Which is bit further away from North hence reduced the chance of seeing lights . . Made no effort whatsoever to chase the lights or to time it properly . There were brilliant lights around that time and all other tours saw them and we were unlucky and got stuck with them .

Very rude tour guide - We really has a bad experience during our trip. The tour name is Northern lights photography tour, The guide who clicked the pictures was very rude. He did not click more than one picture. Northern lights was lasted until 6am in the morning and it was very strong that day. The pictures which we clicked in our phone was much better that what he clicked. He barely clicked 2 group photos and one per person. I asked why is this then he replied this is what we do. I'm not here to click your pictures. Please give us 50% refund. I can show the proof of what he clicked and sent us and what we clicked on our phone. Thank you

Avoid this company at all costs - What an adventure. This tourist trap is all talk but no results. People have seen more Northern light in the santa clause village that day than your poorly situated location. Winning an award 4 years ago doesnt mean anything today… your standards you are claiming to be the best didn’t show itself on our journey. These people claim to be professionals who also claims that they would explain anything about the stars and other topics that are related to the northern lights. However, all we got is a little explanation of reindeers and ear cut markings and how happy the Finnish people are in this country. What a complete joke this organisation. We understand that the Aurora is a natural phenomenon but we were suppose to go hunting for it and move up North? We went more south straying away from the light, going to a place that is owned by the company. How is this “chasing” and “hunting” the light? Complete scam I would say. Also, the guide we got assigned to was also a mute and stayed complete silent about the trip. He didn’t state what the plan was and suddenly we were in the middle of nowhere telling us to get out. We had the impressing that he was about to do something to us. No actual storytelling or explanation. We had to ask what the actual plan was. In the end, we wasted 100 euros no refund for some cheap chicken nuggets - hotdogs, blue berry syrop juice and 5 hours of our time. These so called professionals should atleast have some forecast and add a partial refund or anything. We also got a “professional” photoshoot with no aurora in the back, making it seem like this is some sort of consolation price. So sad.
