ABOUT THIS TOUR

Rovaniemi Aurora Pass: Multi-Night Northern Lights

The Aurora Pass offers a unique and flexible way to witness the magical Northern Lights during your stay in Rovaniemi. This multi-night pass provides unlimited access to nightly Aurora hunting tours. It is ideal for those staying in Rovaniemi for several nights who wish to maximize their chances of experiencing the Aurora Borealis.

What to Expect from Your Aurora Pass Adventure:

Your adventure begins with a convenient hotel pick-up in Rovaniemi each evening you choose to participate in an Aurora hunting tour. Tours are operated by experienced Northern Lights guides.

Expert-Led Aurora Expeditions (Daily)

  • Professional Guidance: Tours are led by professional Aurora hunting guides skilled in reading forecasts and navigating to optimal viewing locations.
  • Flexible Strategy: We employ a flexible "go where the sky is clear" strategy. Each night, guides monitor cloud coverage and solar activity. They then direct the minibus to locations offering the best chance to witness the Aurora. These locations may include remote lakes, forest clearings, or hilltops around the Rovaniemi region, varying nightly based on conditions.
  • Small Group Comfort: You will join a small group (max 8 participants per van) and travel in a cozy and secure minibus, designed for navigating snowy and icy roads.
  • Night Photography Tips: Guides provide assistance with camera setup and tips for capturing stunning photos of the lights. Guests are encouraged to immerse themselves in the beauty of the Lappish night sky before rushing to photograph.
  • Campfire & Refreshments: Each tour includes a campfire stop (weather-permitting) with hot drinks and snacks. This offers a comfortable break during the cold Arctic night.
  • Duration: Each nightly tour typically lasts 3–4 hours, depending on weather and visibility conditions.

Understanding the Aurora Borealis

The Northern Lights appear when tiny electronically charged particles from the Sun interact with oxygen and nitrogen atoms in the Earth's atmosphere. The lights manifest in various colors, including green, blue, purple, and occasionally crimson red or orange/pink shades.

How the Aurora Pass Works:

  • Choose Your Pass Duration: Select an Aurora Pass for 3 to 5 consecutive nights.
  • Daily Check-in: You must confirm your participation each day by informing us before 14:00. This is essential to secure your seat in the minibus. Simply send a whatsapp message, email or just call us.
  • Flexible Participation: Join any night. If you check-in/reserve a seat and do not show up on time for departure, your Aurora Pass will expire.
  • Consecutive Days: The pass starts on the first day of its activation. Days are considered in a row (e.g., if you start on Monday, a 3-day Pass ends Wednesday).
  • Continued Use After Sighting: Once you successfully witness the Northern Lights, you can continue using the pass for subsequent nights within your chosen period, or conclude your mission.
  • Non-Transferable: Each pass is valid for one customer/group only for the entire booking period.

Why Choose the Aurora Pass for Northern Lights Viewing?

  • Unlimited Attempts: Provides unlimited Northern Lights hunting tours within your selected pass period, significantly increasing your chances of a successful sighting.
  • Increased Flexibility and Success Rate: Maximizes your opportunity to see the Aurora due to flexible nightly attempts and adaptive location strategies.
  • No Weather Stress: Eliminates stress related to unpredictable Arctic weather; we try every night there's a chance.
  • Join When Ready: Participate only on nights that suit you, simply by confirming before 2 PM each day.
  • Ideal for Longer Stays: Perfect for photographers, couples, families, or any traveler staying multiple nights in Rovaniemi.

Frequently asked questions 

(See all questions and answers here)
A:

The Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon, and unfortunately, their appearance can never be guaranteed. Our guides do everything possible to maximize your chances, including checking forecasts, choosing the best locations, and sharing their expertise about the Aurora.

However, the cost of the tour covers much more than just the chance to see the lights - it includes professional guiding, transportation, hot drinks, campfire experiences, storytelling, and the unique atmosphere of being in the Arctic wilderness at night. For this reason, refunds are not provided if the Northern Lights do not appear.

We truly appreciate your understanding and hope the overall experience will still be a magical and memorable part of your Lapland adventure.

A:

Our professional Northern Lights guides employ a flexible strategy to maximize your viewing chances. They constantly monitor real-time weather forecasts, cloud cover, and Aurora activity levels. Based on this data, they will lead the tour to the best possible viewing locations each night, venturing away from city lights to remote, dark spots like frozen lakesides, forest clearings, or hilltops around the Rovaniemi region.

A:

Please be on time! Our tours follow a strict schedule, and if you miss the hotel pick-up, you will not be able to join later. Arriving separately by taxi or private car is usually not possible, as it may disrupt the program and group safety. Plan ahead — we appreciate your understanding.

A:

The best season to witness the Northern Lights in Rovaniemi, Finnish Lapland, is typically during the dark months, from late August/early September until early April. Within this period, the longer nights and colder, clearer weather often provide optimal conditions for observing the Aurora Borealis.

A:

Proper clothing is crucial for comfort and safety in Arctic conditions. Participants are responsible for bringing their own suitable outerwear. We highly recommend dressing in multiple warm layers, including thermal underwear (a must), a mid-layer such as fleece or wool, warm socks (preferably two pairs), insulated winter trousers and jacket, a warm hat, scarf or neck gaiter, and thick mittens or gloves. Footwear should be winter-rated and insulated to keep your feet warm in the snow.

We also recommend bringing heat pads or hand/foot warmers - they can make a big difference in extreme cold.

During the tour, your guide will light a cozy campfire and serve hot drinks to help you stay warm and comfortable while waiting for the Aurora. On very cold nights, the vehicle will always be kept nearby so you can warm up inside whenever needed.

A Trip of a Lifetime to the Lapland !

January 4, 2020



I took 5 different Trips from Nordic Adventures and had a Memorable Visits to the Husky Park, Reindeer Park and the 3 days Northern Lights Hunt.
The Tour guide Alex was very friendly and took care well.I was solo traveller but being in a small group i made lot of friends including Alex itself.
Though the Aurora chances was very low i could still capture some shots using my camera. Also loved the camp fires and eating sausages in the extreme cold weather and off course the berry juice.
I highly recommend the Tours from Nordic Adventures for a small and personalised experiences in Lapland.
Thank you Alex and Alex (2 ) ..Ha ha !

We saw the Northern Lights with Alex

Alex was such a wonderful guide for the past 3 nights. He took well care of us by feeding us with hot chocolate, sausages and marshmallows over a campfire. He took us to different spot for the 3 nights we spent with him. We managed to see the Northern Lights for all 3 days.
On the 2nd day, he even stopped his car by the roadside when he saw it coming. We quickly grabbed our tripod and camera and jumped out to catch it before it went off.

Thanks Alex for giving us an adventure that we will not forget.
