The 15 Best Aurora Photography Tours in Rovaniemi

49 reviewed

The northern lights rarely look to the naked eye the way they do through a camera set for the cold, so let someone who knows the settings do the shooting. Here are the best aurora photography tours, compared: which hand you the images for free, which chase the clearest sky, group sizes, and what each night costs.

“Dennis was fantastic! Extremely knowledgeable about the science behind the northern lights and strategized using live data, cameras, and more to put us in the best positions possible. We got great pictures and saw plenty of the show on a night where conditions didn’t look promising. Dennis gave maximum effort from start to finish. I highly recommend this trip!!!”

“We went on this memorable tour on 9th November 2024. Our tour guide, Aleksi, was so passionate about the Northern lights and he’s also a great photographer. It was a really good night for seeing the aurora and we were in 1 location the entire time. Aleksi had direct communication with a scientist that would let him know the chances of a good aurora sighting. If it hadn’t been such a good night, Aleksi would have continued driving further north to find a more ideal location for seeing the Northern lights. We were provided with hot berry juice in flasks and we had some time to barbecue the sausages. The…”

“Really recommend this tour! Pekka and Amanda were such great hosts. Pekka picked us up from our accommodation around 8.15pm and we drove to a first location where the aurora was the brightest and strongest! He set up his DSLR camera and took really beautiful pictures for everyone. We sat there for a while to observe the aurora, before driving to 2 other locations (we actually napped in the vehicle). However by then the clouds came over and we couldnt see a strong aurora anymore. So we drove to a national campsite for a campfire and got to enjoy the warm fire, take lots of pictures, and Pekka and Amanda…”

“Overall the experience was great! However they should take care of the winter clothes they give to participants in terms of how clean they are, especially with covid-19, we received onw with tissues in the pocket. But our guide Micky was amazing, she drove further away so we can see the northern lights and we enjoyed a great barbecue and they even got us corn due to dietary restrictions we have. I would definitely recommend this trip!”

Small-group winter hike in Riisitunturi National Park near Rovaniemi with BBQ lunch, photo stops, and 10–15 pro-edited photos.

“This trip was included with breathtaking views and sights. Some fantastic pictures from the guides. The trek was reasonably short and on a path therefore not through thick snow. Guides were excellent at matching the pace to the group to ensure everyone has the best experience possible. Lunch was minimal of cooking a sausage over the fire but all traditional Finnish experience. Quite expensive for the day but for us it was worth it and we all enjoyed it.”
