Aurora Hunt and Photography Tour from Rovaniemi
Overview of the tour in Rovaniemi
You are going to be driven to spots that are better suited and would offer a better opportunity to spectate this natural wonder. During the tour, your guide will be checking how do the weather conditions change. Because of this trip being a 4-hour aurora hunt, you may get the chance to visit up to 3 different spots and increase your chance to be an eyewitness of the aurora!
During the tip, you will be presented with a chance to build a campfire! You will be taught by the guide how to do it traditionally, without modern tech, using silver birchbark, flint and steel for the fire. Your guide will also share with you the knowledge and stories of Lapland and its natural flora and fauna. You will try some hot beverages, grill your sausages over the campfire, and enjoy your snack with the most famous Finnish mustard while waiting for the Aurora to appear.
During this activity, we encourage you to take your camera to capture these unforgettable views. In all cases, your guide will be equipped with a professional camera and will take as many pictures as possible (feel free to ask him/her!) of you as well as the aurora for you to download later from the cloud.

- Hotel pick-up/drop-off (Extra pick-up point may require extra fee)
