One night Aurora Hunting from Rovaniemi

One night Aurora Expedition
How it works:

Our Aurora Tour starts from Rovaniemi and we go as far as needed to have a good chance to see Auroras. We do not have a kilometer or time limit. This can naturally be as far as 800 kilometers both ways, but usually we drive drive around 200. Northern Lights can only be seen if you have at least particularly clear sky and an okay solar activity.  That is why our Aurora Hunts only happen if we think that there is a good chance to see the Northern Lights. In case the conditions are too bad, we cancel the Northern Lights Tour or postpone it to another day, to not waste anyones time. 

Like this we have a high success rate. We would say that if the Aurora Hunt happens, we can give you a possibility of 95 % that you see the Northern Lights.

How long does the Aurora Hunt take?

The time of our Aurora Hunt varies according to the distance that we have to drive to get to clear sky. Sometimes this might be only half hour, sometimes up to 4 hours. That’s why the duration of the Tour varies between 5 and 14 hours. Also, the starting time of the Aurora Tour varies depending on the season, weather and solar activity.

On our Aurora Tour we are doing pure Aurora hunting, that means there is no food or drinks included. But you are welcome to take your own snacks and drinks to the tour because it might be a long time that we stay outside. 🙂 We are not focusing on BBQ or fire because it is disturbing the Aurora Hunt.

Aurora Photography

We are passionate photographers – especially for Northern Lights. We have all equiment (cameras, tripods, etc.) that we use to get the best shots out of every Aurora Hunt. If you wish, we take pictures of you at your Northern Lights Tour. All of them you will get after the Tour, included in the price. 

Also, if you have your own camera, we will be happy to show you how to choose the best settings for Aurora Photography.

Pick up / Drop off

On the Aurora Tour from Rovaniemi , pick up and drop off from and to your accomodation around around Rovaniemi is always included. Further, all Aurora Hunts will only be in small  groups to make your experience more individual and far away from big tourism groups.

Lorenzo took us on Nov 21st, 2023 and we have officially had the best night of our lives! He has such a great sense of humour and worked extremely hard to find us the northern lights despite challenges and weather changes. There is nothing better than having a guide who is so passionate and knows exactly what he is doing. He is so knowledgable and made the night sooooo much fun. Couldn’t have imagined it with anyone else.. thank you for EVERYTHING. love from the Aussies - Christina, Zach, Caitlin & Jesse x

Best northern lights hunting trip ever! I was worried to not see the aurora borealis because November is probably one of the worst months to witness this amazing natural show, but Luisa kept driving and driving for hour to be sure we were able to be amazed by the northern lights and at the end the miracle happened and we saw an amazing colourful dances in the northern sky 😍 and not only once! Luisa kept keeping her attention on the weather and the sky and we saw the northern lights multiple times and it was an unbelievable feeling.Everyone should choose to do the tour with these guys because I can guarantee to all of you that Luisa and Lorenzo will go extra mile to be sure your dream to see the aurora borealis will come true in the most unbelievable way!Grazie ragazzi ❤️

We went on an aurora light hunt with Luisa. She did everything to make sure we could see the lights and it was simply an unforgettable experience! She loves her job and is willing to go to the limit with the tour participants to make this experience possible. We also felt comfortable at all times and were able to learn a lot about the Aurora lights.We would book it again and again and can only warmly recommend it to everyone.

Yesterday we took a tour of the Northern Lights, with Luise as our guide. It was an absolutely perfect trip with magical impressions that we will never forget. During the tour, Luise told us a lot about the auroras and how they form and was very committed to finding the best possible spot. We would do the tour again and again and definitely recommend it!The planning and arrangement via WhatsApp was super uncomplicated and there was always quick and concrete feedback.In addition to seeing the northern lights, the wild car ride (hunting) was also very exciting and anything but boring. :)PS: The photos are absolutely amazing!!! WOW!!!Best regardsLaura & Malte + Christina & Lukas

Thanks to Lorenzo's professionalism and passion we lived a magical and unique experience. Lorenzo and Luisa led us on the true "hunt for the aurora" sharing with us their knowledge and studies, which led us to savor this incredible show. For us, Lorenzo is like a super hero who crosses nations to let those lucky enough to travel with him experience the beauty of nature.

Thanks to Luisa we were able to admire the northern lights live. Even though it was very cold, the patience was definitely worth it. We are very grateful for the great experience and will probably never forget it.

Wonderful experience! Lorenzo made one of my life's dreams come true: to see the Aurora Borealis and he did it in the most fascinating way possible.Thanks to his tenacity and passion we traveled kilometers and crossed two borders just to see the Aurora and in the meantime we saw spectacular landscapes, the real Lapland, the real Sweden and the magical Norway with its Fjords! There is nothing planned at the beginning of this journey, but only one objective: the Aurora Borealis and Lorenzo has all the experience and competence and the right enthusiasm to accompany his travel companions where the sky is clear to see one of the most beautiful shows in the world.

An incredible experience and I recommend them big time! I only had a few days in Lapland and the weather did not look good for the day I booked with Luisa and Lorenzo. They kept an eye on the weather forecast for the whole week and we went last minute on a different day than the one I booked, just so the chances for Northern lights would be a bit bigger. Thank you so much. It was a dream come true! I will write them again when I go to the north in the future 🙂

I waited a few days before writing to let the emotion of the trip calm down but certain experiences leave their mark and Lorenzo and Luisa made us experience unique emotions. Two true aurora hunters and two wonderful people, their passion and enthusiasm for what they do is not often seen, in addition to their great competence. I can only thank them for the wonderful trip they took us on from Rovaniemi to the Lofoten Islands in Norway.P.s. I give 5 stars only because it is not possible to give more.

The trip was amazing! It was the best night of my life and a dream come true. I got engaged under the Milky Way, the shooting stars and dancing auroras. Lorenzo was checking every single detail so we didn’t miss anything. We couldn’t chose anybody else to do this tour with. Conventional companies won’t drive and do whatever it takes so you can see the Auroras.Will do it a thousand times more and if I ever be back I’ll definitely do the aurora road-trip. Thank you for everything!

Honestly, I can’t recommend Lorenzo and Luisa enough - anything I write here won’t do justice to how amazing our four-day road trip was. And I’m not only talking about the auroras shows because obviously that’s the main goal here, but also about the hikes we did, the places we stayed, how nice every single person from the group was. When they say they’re usually the last people who want to leave and head back to the hotel, trust me, they mean it 😅 I had a sky-high expectation for this trip and even so it was even better than I could have ever imagined, so thank you very much guys!

Luísa and Lorenzo were the best guides for our Northern Lights experience…..they made all the difference and are true experts in finding the best and most beautiful aurora. We stayed with them for 4 days and traveled more than 2,500km between Norway, Finland and Sweden and saw aurora every day of the most varied shapes and colors. ❤️I highly recommend the experience , they are responsible and know all the information so you can have the best aurora experience of your life 😊

Found them on instagram while planning our Lapland trip, it just took few minutes on their pages to decide that we were gonna go aurora hunting with Lorenzo and Luisa. Their success rate and the wide range of trips they offer drew us in and we weren’t disappointed. Pick-up and drop-off, moving from one location to another to escape clouds and friendly conversations throughout made this experience an 11/10 to say the least. They offer warm boots and more equipment if needed (our hunt was on an especially cold day), Luisa was always smiling and made the whole group excited, taking endless professional pictures. You can see while driving that they know exactly what they’re doing, we never stationed in a place hoping to see the Northern Lights, we went where they knew our shot was best.Thank you so much for this unforgettable experience:))

It was on our bucket list to visit Finland and see Northern Lights. So the package what we took included a Northern light tour. Unfortunately it was cloudy in Kakslautanen (Ivalo) and the other city also the same. We were thinking that this trip we will not be able to see Northern Lights. My wife was in discussion with Lorenzo before the trip (through Instagram) and he was confident if it visible we will make sure that you see but we need your time. So he and Luisa picked us up from the hotel and then journey started. So a friend from the group joined us and a Greek Couple also joined We drove for approx 4 hours towards Norway and was not stopping anywhere because as per forecast there was an opening and they requested to hold on. Where we stopped and first time we saw the Aurora we were like speechless and then dancing like waves. It was just awesome. They had booked an Airbnb for us and cooked for us amazing Pasta 🍝. After a comfortable sleep, we left for a tour around Norway to see the Fjords around 2 PM. It was sunset time we could see the moon, the sunset and surprisingly an Aurora was forming up. What a sight it was.While returning stopping for Pizza, Lorenzo suddenly while eating rushed outside in freezing cold, as he noticed there is a pink Aurora dancing . It was just wonderful.In short , this trip couldn't have been perfect without them and new friends we made.If you want to see Northern Lights, contact them and you won't be disappointed

We had an incredible 2days road trip. The things that we saw were breathtaking! Without this trip we wouldn’t be able to see the Aurora but Lorenzo and Luisa made the impossible possible! These guys are the best. They love their job and have so much passion. Thank you so much Lorenzo and Luisa, we are grateful for meeting you!

My wife and I had the best northern lights experience, best trip ever! We stayed in Rovaniemi Finland but weather has been really bad, full of clouds so we cannot see any aurora. Lorenzo and Luisa offered us a 1 night roadtrip to Norway to get away from the clouds so we can see the northern lights during our short stay in Finland. They are such amazing guide and photographers. Sweet and nice people. We will definitely go with them again whenever we come back to Finland again. Thank you so much for making our honeymoon so amazing guys!!!
