Discover Northern Lights: Photography Tour

Starting from 145,00 € / person

Available: September – March
Duration: 4 – 5 hours
Destination: Rovaniemi

Experience the magic of Lapland and capture the stunning Northern Lights on camera. This photography-focused tour offers one of the best chances to witness and photograph this breathtaking Arctic phenomenon. The tour is centered around the Rovaniemi area and is conducted by minivan. The evening begins with a team meeting to go over the night’s plan. Participants receive a short briefing on the current weather, Aurora forecasts, and the chosen destination.

The Northern Lights are naturally unpredictable, and sightings can never be guaranteed. However, this tour maximizes the likelihood of success through a combination of local expertise and real-time forecasting tools. Throughout the night, the group typically visits 2–3 different locations, selected to optimize visibility and photographic conditions. Guide will assist with camera settings and composition, helping participants get ready for what could be the photographic highlight of a lifetime.

Please note: It is highly recommended that you bring your own DSLR camera with you as one cannot guarantee that you are able to take night photos with compact or phone cameras.
