aurora Road Trips

A unique concept to make Aurora Hunting as successful as possible

Our Aurora Road Trip is not just a tour — it’s a multi-day adventure on wheels, created by Lorenzo & Luisa. We designed this unique concept to give you the highest possible chance of seeing the Northern Lights while exploring the Arctic in total freedom.

How does it work?

Our Aurora Road Trip is a multi-day adventure where we travel by van, always following the best weather to maximize your chances of seeing the Aurora.

The trip begins and ends in Rovaniemi, but each night we drive towards the clearest skies — across Finland, Sweden, or Norway. If there is time during the day we explore (national parks, or fjords, or do short hikes). At night, the focus is always on Aurora hunting.

We book hotels last minute, so we stay close to the best Aurora spots. On the last night, we hunt on the way back to Rovaniemi if conditions allow.

💡 Note: Aurora chasing often means long driving distances — but that’s what makes the magic possible!

Memories included

On our Aurora Road Trip you travel with a Northern Lights hunter, photographer, and driver — all in one. Photos are included, and after the tour you’ll get a link with every shot.

Our success rate

We are proud to say: In 4+ years we’ve had a 100% success rate – meaning we saw the Aurora in every trip! 

Pricing

Aurora Road Trip: The price is 300 € per person per day (accommodation not included). We usually stay in cozy cottages, costing 80–150 € per person, per night. Note: The guides’ accommodation is shared and divided among all participants.

If you really want to see the Northern Lights and explore untouched places across the Arctic, this might be exactly the right trip for you.

Why choosing us?

Because this isn’t a rigid tour — it’s a real aurora hunt with passionate people, designed to make your dreams come true.

An Unforgettable Arctic Adventure!

This was hands down one of the most incredible experiences of my life. Every day on the Arctic Circle road trip felt spontaneous, authentic, and filled with adventure. We were unbelievably lucky to witness the most spectacular auroras every single night — each one more magical than the last.

Lorenzo and Luisa are truly exceptional guides. Their passion and dedication shine through in everything they do. They work tirelessly to track the best conditions each night, and their genuine excitement when the lights appear makes the experience even more special. It’s clear they don’t just run tours — they live and breathe this adventure.

If you’re considering a Northern Lights trip, look no further. This tour offers a once-in-a-lifetime experience that can’t be replicated anywhere else. I can’t recommend them highly enough!

I and my friends had nothing but a great experience! Our guide was Marco and he was super nice and super passionate about the auroras. The journey could be tiring because it may take time for the auroras to appear really brightly but Marco does really well on keeping our spirits up and keeping us excited so I really appreciated that, and he really made an effort to give us the best aurora experience. I also really appreciated the fact that the team is flexible when it comes to moving our booked date at no additional cost or giving us other options if the weather was tricky. All I could say is 100/10! Thank you Arctic Road Trips for giving us a one of a kind experience. I recommend them to anybody who wants to experience the best ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If there is one person in the world that you need to rely on to chase the aurora, Lorenzo is the ultimate guide that you're looking for. It has been a while that I met someone who is so passionate about what they're doing. It was not only an unforgettable memory for us but also a living inspiration for me how we could live our lives. Again I want to share my deep appreciation and dearest regards to the team. Lastly, please take care of yourself too because it seems very demanding, from a participant point of view 🥹🫶🏻💓 All the best!

Chasing Lights, Not Sausages — Our Arctic Adventure in Rovaniemi!

We went on a Northern Lights hunt on November 5th, 2025, guided by the amazing Lorenzo and oh my goodness, what an unforgettable experience! ✨ The sky was literally dancing before our eyes! We watched every magical second with our own eyes, completely mesmerized. It felt like the universe was putting on a private show just for us. 🤍🤍

We’re definitely coming back to Rovaniemi to do this tour again as soon as possible! This time we weren’t chasing sausages we were truly chasing the Northern Lights! 😄 And wow, what an adventure it was! Every second felt like pure Arctic magic. Huge thanks to Lorenzo for making it absolutely unforgettable! 🌌❄️

Lorenzo and Luisa are not just tour guides — they truly love the auroras, and that makes all the difference! You can be sure they will do everything possible to find the best spot and ensure the best experience. On the days I went, there were clouds almost everywhere, and we still managed to see two incredible shows! And that’s not even counting the daytime moments. When we weren’t driving from one place to another, we visited fjords, and some of the places where we spent the nights were absolutely stunning.

I was traveling alone, and it was great — the group was relatively small, so it was easy to talk to everyone, and at no point did I feel alone in the end. And on top of everything, you get access to all the photos afterward, with amazing quality to keep those memories.

Highly recommended. My first aurora-hunting experience couldn’t have been better.

Best ❤️ Don’t go with any other agency! Some might say you can’t see the Northern Lights due to clouds or weather, but these guys go above and beyond, chasing them until you do. They give 100% effort to make it happen. Highly recommended! 💚

Trust Arctic Road Trips if you're planning a trip to chase the Northern Lights!
I went on a tour with Lorenzo and Luisa, and they immediately conveyed their passion and expertise.
It's not just about chasing a clear sky (even after 8 or 9 hours of driving), but about living an authentic experience, the fruit of study, dedication, and care that begins in the morning.

A journey into the wildest nature, far from mass tourism, experienced in full sharing with the group.
We crossed wonderful landscapes and slept in splendid villas.
Despite the bad weather throughout the peninsula, Lorenzo and Luisa managed to treat us to four auroras in Finland, Sweden, and Norway, one of which was truly spectacular!

Their excitement is contagious; it touches the heart. Each aurora is unique to them, and they convey this with sincerity.
It's an experience I would repeat without hesitation!

In adverse conditions, trust Arctic Road Trips.
Marco and Lorenzo's utmost professionalism and expertise. Marco tirelessly drove for five hours just to let us see the aurora, on a cloudy night with a full moon. He never gave up hope and made us live a dream.
Their passion for the aurora shines through, taking care of every little detail and making everything even more magical.
Thank you so much, guys.

Dear Luke,

I wanted to express my heartfelt thanks for the truly magical experience on the one-night aurora tour on 24th October 2025. Seeing the Northern Lights has been on my bucket list for as long as I can remember, and the way you brought that dream to life was beyond anything I could have hoped for.

From the very beginning — your clear communication, prompt weather updates, and attention to every small detail — everything reflected how passionate and professional you are. Your warmth and enthusiasm made the chilly night feel comfortable and full of excitement. We truly appreciated your patience in finding the best viewing spots, driving miles, and helping us capture those perfect photographs.

The moment the sky lit up in those incredible shades of green and purple was truly surreal — an experience we will never forget. Thank you for giving us one of the most memorable nights of our lives. We’ll always remember standing beneath that glowing sky with hearts full of awe and gratitude.

With warm regards and appreciation,
Siddhi & Rahul

One of the Best Trips of My Life – Thanks to Arctic Road Trips❤️

I recently went on a 4-day Aurora hunting adventure with Arctic Road Trips, and it turned out to be one of the best experiences of my life! Our guides, Lorenzo and Luisa, were absolutely incredible. They weren’t just doing their jobs as guides or business owners — their true passion for chasing the Northern Lights shone through every single night.

What stood out most was their dedication and enthusiasm. They didn’t hesitate to drive over 500 km one way just to find clear skies and give us the best chance to see the aurora. And their efforts paid off — we witnessed breathtaking Aurora shows on all four nights, each in a different stunning location!

Our journey began in Rovaniemi, Finland, and from there, the adventure took us across borders — to Norway on the first two nights (when weather in Finland didn’t cooperate), then to Sweden on the third day, and finally back to Finland for the grand finale. Each night was unique and magical in its own way.

Daytimes were equally exciting — we went on scenic hikes, spent relaxing moments in saunas, and stayed in some of the coziest accommodations (could see aurora from here as well😉) handpicked by the team. Every detail was perfectly planned, making the whole trip smooth and unforgettable.

A big shout-out to Lorenzo and Luisa for their warmth, knowledge, and endless energy — and of course, to the amazing group of fellow travelers who made this experience even more special🥹

If you’re dreaming of witnessing the Northern Lights, don’t think twice — go with Arctic Road Trips. You’ll not just see the aurora; you’ll feel the adventure in every moment.

Our Northern Lights hunt with the Arctic Road Trip team was one of the most incredible experiences of our lives! We chose the “One Night Road Trip” and went aurora hunting for two consecutive days, guided by our guide Romain on October 2025.
On the first day, we had better weather conditions and were able to see the Northern Lights from a lake. The aurora was reflected on the water, creating an incredibly beautiful scene—something our eyes could hardly believe. The sky was also clear, and all the stars were visible, along with even some planets, like Jupiter.
On the second day, we traveled a bit farther to find a sky with fewer clouds and were able to see the aurora in a forested area, where the moon also put on a beautiful show. Our guide explained how the auroras form in the sky and gave us several photography tips, helping us set up our cameras so we could also take some photos and videos. We talked about the stars and planets, and both nights were filled with learning and awe.
We also got some beautiful photos taken by Romain, who was very patient, helpful, and attentive with everyone on the tour. It was clear how dedicated he was to making the tour the best it could be for everyone—well-prepared to find the best spots, knowledgeable in his explanations, and even concerned about whether everyone was staying warm during the cold night.
We had a safe trip back to the hotel, and the adrenaline from seeing the auroras stayed with us for a long time! I wish everyone could have this experience one day—and preferably with this team, who clearly loves what they do! We definitely recommend it and hope to return someday!

An exceptional four-day road trip. The clouds made things really difficult for Lorenzo, who managed to find us viewing spots every night. Three countries in four days, and every night, magnificent Northern Lights. The road trip is also about discovering landscapes, countries, hiking, sharing, and lots of laughter. Lorenzo, Luisa, and Luke have a wonderful, infectious energy; they go out of their way to allow us to experience a magical moment every day. They are only satisfied when we can see the Northern Lights. My next trip is already booked, with Arctic Road Trips of course.

I have been following these guys on instagram since forever. I was finally able to join their tour and they more than delivered.
The weather was horrendous with a big cloud blanket covering all of Scandinavia. Lorenzo and Luisa asked everyone that could to join a day earlier (for free 😱) to ensure the best chance of seeing it. And that was a sick night! Then Lorenzo and Luke raced us across Finland, Norway AND Sweden for the official tour to give us the best possible chance. And we saw aurora all 5 nights!! They went above and beyond to give you the best experience, teaching you about aurora and the region along the way.
During the day there was plenty of time for other things such as hikes. We did a lot. These guys are pros and on top of that funny! It was an absolute joy to join them. Everything was neatly arranged, communication was easy and fast, transport was great and they took care of accommodations. If I return to this area I will 100% join their tours again. The passion of these guys is unmatched and it is a joy to be able to share in that. (They also take sick shots of you 🙌🏻)

After following Lorenzo on Instagram for a couple of years I finally had the chance to go on two aurora hunts with Arctic Road Trips, one with Luke and one with Romain, and both experiences were amazing.

On the first night, the weather looked hopeless with thick clouds everywhere, but Luke didn’t give up and decided to take us all the way to Sweden. After hours and hours of chasing clear skies, we finally got to witness a beautiful aurora, something I’ll never forget as it was my very first one!

The second night was completely different: the aurora showed up early and gave us an amazing show right away. But instead of stopping there, Romain kept driving us to different spots as the aurora shifted and the conditions changed, making sure we had the best possible views for as long as we could.

What really stood out is how passionate they all are. You can tell they genuinely love what they do, and they’ll go above and beyond to make sure you have the best chance to experience the magic of the northern lights.

If you’re considering booking with them, don’t hesitate. You’ll be in the best hands!

A huge thank you to Luke, Romain and Arctic road trips for two unforgettable nights under the northern lights =)
