One Night Aurora Hunting Tour from Rovaniemi

Specialised in Aurora Hunting so you have the best possible chances to see the Aurora. Understand why:

How does the Tour work?

Our Aurora Tour starts and ends in Rovaniemi, Finland. To make the best possible decisions, we decide the departure time of the Tour each day individually depending on the weather and the solar activity. We always start between 3:30 PM and 8 PM – depending on the conditions every day.

Northern Lights can only be seen if there is clear sky and an okay solar activity. That is why our Aurora Hunts only happen if we think there is a good chance to see the Northern Lights. In case the conditions are too bad, we cancel the Tour. (no wasted nights)



Driving distance

We chase wherever the clear skies are → sometimes it can be up to 800 km round trip. On average we drive 200 km per night, but it can be more or less. The tour can last 4 to 12 hours, depending on the weather and solar activity.



Our success rate

With this flexible approach, we achieve around 95% chance of seeing the Northern Lights. Seeing the Northern Lights can never be 100% guaranteed — they are a natural phenomenon that depends on solar activity, weather, and clear skies. BUT we make sure to do everything in our hands to totally minimize need of luck.



Photos included

During every tour we don’t just chase the Northern Lights — we also capture them for you. All of us are passionate Aurora photographers and all the photos taken during your trip are included in the price. This means you can live in the moment and still share it with friends and family back home.



Good to know

Our tours are all about pure Aurora hunting – we focus 100% on chasing the Northern Lights best possible way. This means that food and drinks are not included. Since we may spend long hours outdoors, you’re very welcome to bring along your own snacks and drinks. 🙂



We had the most unforgettable experience with this Northern Lights and Adventure Tour. From start to finish, Lorenzo & Luisa showed genuine care and personal attention, making us feel less like customers and more like family. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, and they went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and enjoyment throughout the journey.

What stood out the most was their warmth, patience, and personal touch — they took the time to answer our questions, adjust to our needs, and make sure we were fully immersed in the magic of the Aurora and the adventure activities. Their passion and dedication truly shine through in everything they do.

Lorenzo & Luisa are highly professional, yet so caring and attentive — an absolute 5-star experience! We couldn’t have asked for a better team to make this dream trip so special. 🌟

Best wishes from

Aurora road tripping for Luisa and Lorenzo is amazing. They are the absolutely best in Lapland. Our multi night road trip was a success where we saw the aurora almost every night and caught the most amazing display I’ve seen in my life. Lorenzo did all of the driving and we camped in amazing locations in Norway. We toured the entire Lapland, saw wild foxes and had really great food in Finnish Lapland. They took care of everything for our small group. That included bringing camping gear for us, picking us up and dropping us off, plus taking photos and videos for us. They’re super knowledgeable and their passion cannot be matched! I can’t wait for my next trip to Rovaniemi and joining Lorenzo and Luisa again!

What can I say? Fantastic!! Hunting the Northern Lights is a thrilling experience, something you should try at least once in your life, and if possible, with the guys at Arctic Road Trips! They do it out of passion, so they'd go looking for a spot of clear sky to see the Northern Lights show anyway, and they get excited like children when it happens, so what better way to support them in their dream? Tourists who spend excessively on everything are right to help this team monetize their passion and make a living from it. They're also so passionate about this topic that they're keen to share technical details and everything needed to understand the phenomenon. They're all friendly, kind, down-to-earth, helpful, and incredibly knowledgeable, and they take spectacular photos! Diana is also super friendly, sensitive, and witty, and I felt very much in tune with her. I see a lot of myself in her passion for travel and exploring new places, and in her sensitivity towards others and nature! I highly recommend them!

Luisa has been the best guide i have ever had, the ability to drive 8 hours or more to hunt auroras is impressive, also how she cares about everyone if you are confortable and warm. You will have the real "HUNT" experience. I didn't just see one aurora, I saw a completely show, an endless dance of auroras, more than 4 hours and 3 days, you gave me one of the best life time experience Luisa, muchas gracias. I couldn´t ask for better first experience i even cry seeing the Norwegian Fjords. 100% recommend doing road trips, because you will not only see the auroras, but also the beautiful landscapes of Scandinavia, i think Luisa and Lorenzo know all the roads and the best spots in Sweden, Norway and Finland :P, is impressive and them knowledge about auroras is other level! Many thanks Luisa, for your kindness and the dedication you give, that at the end made me love the aurora and Lapland :))))) Gracias Lu

After two previous attempts (in other countries and years) to see the northern lights, I finally decided I had to join a trip with ART after watching Lorenzo in an Italian TV show. And the dream came true! 😍 Lorenzo and Luisa are so driven by their passion that they go all the way and beyond to make you experience the magic of aurora, too! I loved the road trip in small groups (so you get to know and bond with the others quite quickly), the nice accommodations, and the whole experience as you get to see Finland (and perhaps Sweden and Norway too) by day (lovely hike also!) and hunt for aurora at night. Lorenzo does make it a thrilling adventure so be prepared for long nights in the wild (with freezing temperatures in winter and in some cases no toilets for a long time - just so you are aware) that you will never forget! The cold, the long drive, the wait, everything is just so worth it when you get to see those magical lights! I am pretty sure I'll do it again and I would definitely choose ART again because they are simply the best! 💚💜❤️

Top! Truly an experience everyone should have at least once in their life: Lorenzo and Luisa are truly the best.

Just got back from my first Aurora road trip with Lorenzo and Luke and wow, what an experience I will never forget! Not only did we get to see some amazing Aurora's, but the day activities (hiking & nature sight seeing) were an amazing bonus to the trip. If you’re looking to polish your photography skills or just get out there and see the Aurora, look no further. This is the best operation & guided service you will find in Lapland. Top notch!!!

We had heard that there were many companies in Rovaniemi offering Northern Lights tours, but we also came across some negative reviews about them. So, my girlfriend and I found Lorenzo’s page on Instagram and quickly realized he was the best in the business.
We decided to book with him, as seeing the Northern Lights had always been a dream of ours and we finally made it come true! Lorenzo was outstanding; you can tell he is truly passionate about what he does. He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and always happy to answer our questions. Without a doubt, the best in Rovaniemi!!

We went on an aurora trip with Lucas, and that was the best decision ever! His enthusiasm for chasing the Northern Lights was unmatched—he went above and beyond to make our night absolutely magical. Thanks to Lucas, we witnessed the aurora dancing in the sky, a moment we'll never forget. His passion and dedication to the hunt are truly unparalleled.

Thank you so much, Lucas! Can’t wait to chase the lights with you again!

Diana is a very passionate person, she is friendly and we had a fantastic aurora hunting night.

We were very lucky on that day and we have seen the aurora after 30 min after the tour was started but she decided to took us in other wonderful place and give us the opportunity to see more auroras and then the explosion of it.

Everything was absolutely fantastic, she took beautiful photos that will be for us one of the best memories.

Seeing the aurora is something that gives to you emotions that are difficult to express. Is one of my and my partner dream and we couldn’t have better person as Diana.

Highly recommended!
