Discover the
Northern Lights

Photography tour

Experience the magic of Lapland and photograph the amazing Northern Lights!

Going Aurora hunting with our professional guides, you have the best possible chance to witness the Northern Lights. We are Lapland’s top tour company specialised in Aurora photography and will ensure that you get the photos of a lifetime.

WHAT TO EXPECT?

The focus of our photography tour is the Rovaniemi area and we travel by minivan. We start with a team meeting about the tour of the day. You will get a short briefing about current weather conditions, Aurora forecasts and about our destination of the day.

During the night, we normally go to 1-3 different locations which are always chosen according to local weather conditions and photographic opportunities. This means that if we have a clear sky and a possibility to see the Aurora 100 km away, we will take the chance and drive you there.

Altogether we have over 50 locations from which we can choose the best ones each night! After reaching our destination we leave the minivan and continue on foot to reach the perfect spots in the middle of the nature. In the destination our guide, a professional photographer, helps you prepare your cameras for Northern Lights photography and we are ready for the show of a lifetime!

CAMERA RECOMMENDATIONS

We highly recommend to bring your own DSLR camera to our tours as we cannot guarantee that night photos with compact or phone cameras. Your guide will provide professional photos as a memory from the tour. Depending on the program of the tour, 5-15 photos/group is will be provided few days after the tour.

AURORA & WEATHER FORECASTS:

Northern Lights are always unpredictable and there is no guarantee that we will find them every night. However, we give you the best possible chance to experience and photograph these mystical wonders of the Arctic area.

On those nights when we are unable to find Northern Lights because of heavy clouding or snowfall, we will concentrate on night photography in the middle of the Arctic nature and take you to some of our night photography locations!

Depending on the weather conditions each night, we might sometimes use same locations with other teams to maximize our chances to see the Northern Lights. On the nights when the forecast is clear for the area, we will most likely be using one location for photography to make sure to catch the most of the Aurora show and avoid sitting in the van too much. Fire for grilling sausages will be made if the used location allows it.
