Additional Information

Our journey to observe the Northern Lights has been well-rated for numerous years. The site where we monitor the Northern Lights is unrivalled, free from any other light sources, with a perfect view of the northern sky, and usually boasts clear weather, in contrast to the occasional cloudiness or fog in town. From our extensive experience, we can advise that ideal viewing times are between 11-12 PM; remarkable visuals are sure to occur. We can estimate an 80% chance of witnessing some kind of light spectacle– is this the best chances world-wide? Uncertain, but we like to think so!

Why choose our guided tour? Our team knows the supreme locations to trace the lights. While some may argue that a glass igloo enhances your Northern Lights viewing experience, the reality is different. Although staying in one can be a unique encounter, it does not necessarily enhance your view of the lights. The most ideal locations are on expansive mountains and hills, offering panoramic views facing the north, and critical for photographers – distant from any man-made light pollution.

Incredible night - Weather in Rovaniemi was extremely cloudy and snowing. We decided anyway to proceed without any hope. Our guide Shoja studied weather condition using many satellite images and found a location suitable to catch northern lights. After 2.5 hours driving under the clouds we found ourself in the middle of nowhere under an incredible sky full of stars, and suddenly northern lights appeared in front of us. Shoja is a professional photograph and made amazing pictures of all of us. Thanks again Lapland Welcome for this amazing experience

Aurora hinting - Fantastic experience. I thank Shoja who, despite the very cloudy weather, managed to find a starry window that allowed us to see the aurora. Shoja is also a very good professional photographer. I highly recommend!

Wonderful and magical. - After waiting for a while we saw the Northern Lights and it was wonderful, the guide took great photos of our family. We were able to warm ourselves up by the fire in the tepee because it was very cold at minus 20 degrees. Luckily we had booked another night in the glass igloo because when the group had left we saw the Northern Lights again for an hour very intensely. Definitely recommended because you are not under any time pressure.

An expert guide with experience, humor, and great stories - We took the trip with Anthony and had the best experience. It was a bucket list item! We went out night one and had clouds and no chances to see the Northern Lights, but we had a nice evening around the camp fire eating sausages and having Anthony answer all our questions about Finnish culture: sports, history, industry, and traditions. He talked very freely about his own farm. We were set on seeing the Northern Lights and booked a second night. Since we had heard the explanation of the lights the first evening, we were very excited to see a full display happening the second night! It was magical for us and we had the best guide. I can see now that not every guide is able to “find” the Northern Lights, so book with the best. They know what they’re doing! Anthony is personable and funny, and you will enjoy the adventure!

Amazing tour guide! - The car took us quite far from the city, and we walked to the top of a hill. The location and the view were amazing. But, most importantly, we had a fantastic tour guide, Anthony. We did not get enough of his stories, the things that he shared about the Finnish lifestyle, Arctic animals (he showed us their tracks), and of course, Lappish traditions. Thanks again, Anthony!

Deception !!!!!!! - FRAUD !!!!!!!!!! The owner is a very unserious person and does not comply with what was agreed, nor is he responsible. Furthermore, he acts in very bad ways. It is one of the worst experiences of my life. We made the mistake of hiring three activities and all three went wrong. If you want to go out and see the Northern Lights, go see a professional. They make you a barbecue and take you even if there is zero activity and it is cloudy. Being certain that you will not see them. A hoax!!! You hire a long 10 km husky tour and you arrive at the farm and they only do 5 km. Furthermore, they didn't even expect us at the farm, they hadn't made the reservation. They say there is no such thing as a 10 km. You complain to the owner and he sends you away. You hire a snowmobile tour with the 8-year-old girl and on the day you are going to do the activity, he does not let her get on the snowmobile (minimum 10 years old) and forces her to go on the sleigh with the guide. Request payment of the extra amount paid for having taken 2 motorcycles and is not responsible. It is unfortunate that they allow this man to carry out business activity and allow him to change the name of the company every so often to avoid complaints. It is always called Lampland and changes the middle name, currently welcome. The staff we had was wonderful, all young people, recently hired. They couldn't be more kind and attentive.
