Highlights
  • Rovaniemi - Due to demand, most Northern Lights tours are over-packed and you lose some of the magic in the experience. That’s why we created our “Small group Northern Lights Tour” with the maximum group size of 6 passengers. This guarantee helps us create a truly personalized, cozy and memorable touring experience for our guests. What makes our tour special? We always find the northern lights. in case of failure (this happens 1-2 times per season), we make a free retry. We are not travel companies that feed you sausages and glog. Our main goal is to find the northern lights. You can enjoy barbecue anywhere in the world but if you visit Lapland for northern lights hunting don’t waste your time on sausages ))) We analyze the weather and go where there are no clouds and snowfalls. And we provides warm suits if you need.

Probably the best - It was my first trip to Finland and my second try to see northern lights. First was with an agency from Rovaniemi - we saw only little through cloudy skies. Nikita is a really experienced nl hunter ;-) The photos he took of us are really really great, too. Clear recommendation! Best regards and ty very much Nikita!

Nikita did it! 💪 - Our second trip to Rovaniemi - our last day. We tried another 5 hunting-trips without success before we found Nikita! Nikita is a real “Northern Light hunter” 👍

Best hunting Aurora tour in Finland - I have to say, Nikita is a reliable, profesional and awesome tour guide. He analyzed the weather and the solar activity, and recommended a “suitable” night for us to participate the tour. Before the tour begins, he and his wife provide the excellent and warm equipment, including the suit, boots, gloves and woolen socks. They help you a lot during you find the lights. Nikita checked the weather and tried to find a best place to see the lights. During the journey, he also explained to us some knowledge and his experience. In the third spot, we told us there may be something happen soon. And few minutes later, it came an unbelievable aurora in our eyes!! It’s insane and my mom was so happy!! They also provided the hot tea and chocolate. It’s nice. Besides, he will help you take a picture with a profesional camera. The pictures are soooo awesome. With Nikita’s profesional experience, we are so glad and lucky to see the lights. By the way, he will cancel the tour and tell you the truth if he knows the weather conditions are not good and help you reschedule the journey or 100% refund your payment, not like some normal northern lights tours. Fully recommend, just trust him! Thank you, Nikita and your wife. Our dream comes true and the experience was amazing. Take care!

A dream come true - It was incredible! I was discouraged by the possibility of seeing the Northern Lights on apps, according to which the chances were 2 per cent. But our guide Nikita is a pro! I had the impression that he knew exactly where to go. We travelled for at least 2h30 to a remote spot with no light pollution and no clouds. In no time at all, the light shone for us! Thank you Nikita and the Wherever Hostel team, you're amazing!

Stunning experience! - This was truly the most magical experience. Nikita is so honest and takes his job very seriously - he will only take people out of he knows that the conditions are good enough to see the northern lights (unlike the big tour companies, who will take you out even if they know the lights won't be visible that night). He picked me up at my hotel ,there were only 2 other guests in my group (so it felt very intimate and special), and we saw the northern lights within minutes of me getting into the car! I didn't realize that seeing the lights is not guaranteed - it depends on the weather conditions, but most importantly on your guide!! I got so lucky having Nikita as my guide. Nikita is from the same geographic region as Rovaniemi, so his insight and knowledge about the lights, and the area in general, were invaluable. I could not have asked for a better experience!!!

Great experience in Rovaniemi - It's great that in the unlikely event that you can't see the northern lights, you can still try to see them as much as possible within your schedule. In addition, the activity company responded quickly and we were able to communicate smoothly. We went from near to far places from Rovaniemi to find the northern lights, but the guide always looked at the weather forecast and the conditions of the day and did his best. During the time I visited, there were days when the northern lights were not visible depending on the weather and location, but on the third day we were able to see the aurora. I was very moved at that time.

The perfect Northern light experience - It was an awesome experience. After some days of no luck due to the weather, the last day of our trip the weather was good enough and we were lucky to find this tour almost last minute. Nikita was very patience explaining how to find the northern lights, he took us to place not that full with Tourist , and provided suits on request because we were at -24. The fire was a lifesaver and he would monitor everything so we didn't miss the view

Once in a lifetime experience - Clearly the auroras are the main protagonist of the experience, and since that's the case if there is a low probability of catching them they don't waste your time and call off the trip, giving you back your money, instead of just taking it and make you sit for hours in the cold waiting for nothing. Not many have that consideration.

Great guide (and 1.000% honest!) - Nikita was a Great and very experienced Guide, we had a wonderful time! We had a great aurora experience (we were lucky to see them) and Nikita is a cool person to talk to, who has a lot to tell. 10.000 KARMA POINTS, as he voluntarily offered to move / cancel the tour as the first day we booked it, it was cloudy with no chance to see the aurora. We listened and went the next day spontaneously as the sky opened up. Not everybody would be so honest, as he offered to not go after all and refund us our money. You really deserve more than five stars for your honesty :-) Thank you for the great time we had. It honestly became one of my top 3 experiences.
