Why hunt with us
Every hunt starts with a live read of solar wind, cloud maps and aurora forecasts across Scandinavia. We're not guessing — we're making a calculated decision about where the sky will open up tonight.
When conditions are better across the border, we go. Up to 380 km into Swedish or Norwegian Lapland if that's what it takes. No fixed spot, no set itinerary — just the best chance the night gives us.

Full itinerary
Step 1 · Pick-up & drop-off service
Bus tourMeet us at our office
The bus tour starts at our city-centre office in Rovaniemi — easy to reach, with parking nearby. Just be there at your departure time and your guide takes it from there.
Small groupWe pick you up
The small-group hunt picks you up from your accommodation or any location of your choice within 10 km of Rovaniemi — and drops you off wherever you prefer at the end of the night.
When do we leave? Your pickup time shifts with the season and the sky — anywhere from 17:00 to 21:00. We watch the afternoon weather update and message you the exact time around midday on the day of your hunt, once we know when conditions will be best.
Step 2 · The plan
We read the sky before we drive
Your guide reviews the night's forecasts — live space-weather data, solar-wind, cloud maps and satellite imagery — then explains which direction we'll head and why. Every hunt is planned around where the sky is actually clearest.
Step 3 · The hunt
We drive toward the best chance
This is the hunt. We chase gaps in the cloud across Lapland — and cross the border into Sweden or Norway when the aurora demands it — adjusting the route as conditions change. Never parked at one fixed spot, hoping.
Step 4 · Lights found
You watch, we capture it
When we find the Northern Lights, you step out to take them in while your guide hands round hot drinks and cookies — and photographs you under the aurora. Edited shots are delivered within 2–4 days, at no extra cost.
Step 5 · Drop-off
Bus tourBack to the office
Once the hunt is over we return you to our Rovaniemi office, where the night began.
Small groupBack to your door
Once the hunt is over we drop you off wherever you prefer — your accommodation, a restaurant, or anywhere else within our range.
No aurora? Your money back.
We can't control the weather — but we guarantee your satisfaction. Our policy is the same every night: no aurora, no charge. One honest exception applies on full moon nights.
Regular nights
Eye guarantee
If you don't see the northern lights with your own eyes, you choose: full refund or a free reschedule to another night. No questions asked — as many times as you need.
Don't see them with your eyes → refund or reschedule
Full moon nights
Camera guarantee
On full moon nights we operate on a camera guarantee: if our guides capture the aurora on camera during your hunt, that's a successful sighting. No aurora on camera — same deal.
No aurora on camera → refund or reschedule
Why no eye guarantee on full moon nights?
A bright moon can wash out fainter auroras even when they're genuinely active overhead. We've had too many honest disagreements about whether the lights were visible — the camera settles it fairly for everyone.
Not sure when the full moon falls? View moon phase guide →Free reschedule
Swap to any open night, as many times as needed.
Full refund
Money back with no admin fees if we can't deliver.
Photos included
Our guides always shoot the aurora — you keep the shots.

Jesse and his team are true aurora hunters. Despite the overcast sky they took us to Swedish Lapland to admire the aurora.

Photos have become outstanding. The places you drive to are beautiful. It costs a little more, but is worth every penny.
