This expedition promises an enchanting blend of celestial wonders, expert guidance, and unforgettable experiences under the Arctic night sky. Join us for an exploration that transcends the ordinary and unveils the captivating magic of the Northern Lights in Rovaniemi.

Upon your arrival at either Rovaniemi airport or railway station, our dedicated team will ensure a smooth transition to your selected hotel, where you can check in and unwind. This marks the beginning of your Arctic adventure, offering you the freedom to explore the surrounding wonders at your own pace during your leisure time.

At 21:00, embark on a 3-hour Northern Lights hunting tour by car from Rovaniemi, enhancing your opportunities to witness this extraordinary natural phenomenon. Immerse yourself in the serene winter surroundings, stay warm by a campfire with hot drinks and sizzling sausages, and keep an eye out for the mesmerizing display of luminescent ribbons dancing overhead if luck is on your side.

At 11:00, embark on the Rovaniemi City Tour, and venture into the enchanting Santa Claus Village where you can personally meet Santa Claus, cross the magical Arctic Circle, and immerse yourself in the festive spirit. Santa dedicates every day of the year to his mission of spreading love and goodwill, making Rovaniemi the Official Home of Santa Claus.

Later at 20:00, indulge in a magical nocturnal adventure with a Night Safari in a reindeer sledge. Traverse a snowy forest in a fairy-tale-like setting, pulled by a reindeer – Lapland's most traditional mode of transport. Visit a reindeer farm, where the serene night ride away from city lights offers a perfect chance to catch a glimpse of the Aurora Borealis. Cozy up in the sledge (2 persons/sledge) as reindeers gently guide you. Upon returning to the farm, relish a cup of coffee and a sweet bun while listening to tales of the reindeer herder's lifestyle.

In the earlier part of the day, enjoy leisure time or opt for one of our additional tours.

At 21:00, partake in the Aurora Search through a snowmobile safari—an exhilarating opportunity to navigate through a snowy forest and along the river as evening casts its shadows. Marvel at the starry night and the moon during the safari, with a chance to witness the Northern Lights if luck is on your side. Conclude the adventure with a bonfire, sausage roasting, and the warmth of hot tea. The package includes a private vehicle transfer to the departure point, necessary gear, a knowledgeable guide, and delightful snacks.

Utilize the remainder of the morning for personal activities or choose from our array of optional tours.

It is possible to select The Aurora Celestial Flight (October-March). Witness the mesmerizing Aurora Borealis "dancing" across the Arctic sky on 80-90% of dark nights. Given that ground visibility can be hindered by clouds, seize the opportunity to behold this natural wonder during your precious holiday moments! The Northern Light Flight elevates you above the clouds, providing a closer view of the spectacle. A transfer service will pick you up from the hotel reception (for Rovaniemi central area hotels) and transport you to Rovaniemi airport. The Piper PA31 private jet, featuring 7 passenger seats, and two attentive pilots will ensure your comfort as you chase the lights. The total flight time is approximately 1 hour, encompassing takeoff and landing. After the experience, you will be returned to the hotel, hopefully with cherished memories and captivating camera shots.

Commence your day with a delightful breakfast experience at the hotel, savoring a variety of options to energize your morning. Ensure a smooth transition by completing the check-out process, ideally by 12:00. Our dedicated team is at your service to facilitate a hassle-free transfer to either the airport or train station, ensuring your departure is as comfortable and seamless as your stay in the enchanting surroundings.
