Full description

Join a professional Aurora Borealis photographer and learn the tricks of the trade for capturing that perfect Northern Lights moment. The professional photographer will take the best shots for you. Head 10-60 miles into the forest, away from the city light pollution, to capture your pictures.

Your tour guide will explain how the Northern Lights are formed and tell ancient tales from the local and Lappish cultures. The photographer can provide guidance in setting up the best shooting angles, shooting screens, camera settings, and more.  Sit down for a campfire BBQ and grill some local favorites and delicacies of reindeer sausage with hot blueberry juice.

The guides are excellent. We were so lucky to be in the right place at the right time. For the entire 3 hours that we stayed in the location we have been in awe with the nonstop display of northern lights. The experience of walking at the top of a frozen lake with knee deep snow is also our first time. We had fun in the bonfire area and cooked a delicious sausage and marshmallows.

Guide got stuck in the snow with the mini van and one of tourists had to drive the van out after the guide tried several times. 😅 They made us a fire at every stop which was very nice and we had something to drink. Photographer took nice pictures of those who wanted. Although we couldn't see the lights, it was a nice experience to be out in the forest at night.

The best sauna I've ever been to. The sauna, the pond and the food are all unquestionably good. And the guides are very friendly. I visited alone, but had a great time chatting with the other guests and jumping in the pond with them. If I ever go to Rovaniemi, I would like to do this sauna tour again. Thank you so much from Japan.
