Itinerary
We continuously monitor solar wind movements to know when the Northern Lights are at their best.
It is recommended to make a reservation for the first day of your arrival. If the forecast for the booked day is poor, we will move the reservation to the next day and so on. If suitable day cannot be found, the payment will be returned.
We do not make a trip if the possibilities are impossible. This is how you ensure the best chance to see the Northern lights.
We travel by minivans and small groups to make sure that experience is best possible.
We recommend to take snack with you for the evening and warm clothes.
We are focused to find Northern lights and that is why we do not focus on making campfires and grilling sausages and drinks because it is usually just impossible due to weather and driving :)

We had a cloudy night with a lot of solar activity. The tour guides really kept on driving for hours until we found a spot without clouds, so we could see the northern lights

At the Start of the trip we got picked up in a really nice small bus with nice Light Ing. Because we had really good conditions, we did not have to drive very far from the city.
The guides chose an amazing lake, where we waited for the auroras to show up. They knew what they where doing and the auroras showed up shortly after.
We had an amazing night and took very cool photos!
I would really recommend this trip and might do it again in the future with some other friends.

They do not say on here that you will have to sit for hours on and in a car sharing a seat with another person! It was incredibly unfcomfortable and painful. They try to save money by transforming a single seat (that is supposed to be slightly wider+comfortable) and have two adults sit on it. Maybe two children could, but not adults! My request for a refund has been ignored, after I initally received a tiny refund, they promised to have a board meeting and discuss but they did not come back to me. Very dissapointed, they wasted my time and money.

L'esperienza con BookLapland è stata fantastica. Per due sere consecutive io e la mia fidanzata non eravamo riusciti a partire con altre compagnie per il cielo nuvoloso. Fin quando la mattina del giorno stesso della "caccia" siamo riusciti a prenotare con BookLapland. Siamo partiti con il van da Rovaniemi alle 19:30. La guida ci ha subito informati che trovare un posto senza nuvole per un bello spettacolo sarebbe stato un po' più difficile del solito. Però guidando verso Nord-Ovest per circa 2 ore/2 ore e 30 siamo riusciti a trovare un luogo con cielo sereno e buone previsioni di attività boreale. Ci siamo fermati e abbiamo aspettato che il buio completo arrivasse (infatti le giornate ad inizio aprile sono molto più lunghe). Le luci hanno iniziato a vedersi verso le 11 circa e lo show è durato più di un'ora. Durante lo spettacolo le guide non hanno smesso un secondo di scattarci fotografie in questa splendida cornice. Dopo circa un'ora di spettacolo siamo ripartiti, rientrando a Rovaniemi alle 2.00 circa. Il giorno dopo abbiamo ricevuto le foto scattate con la fotocamera professionale via email. E' stata un'esperienza fantastica ed indimenticabile. Consiglio a tutti questa esperienza con Booklapland, sono davvero preparati, onesti e professionali.
The experience with BookLapland was great. For two consecutive evenings my fiancée and I had been unable to leave with other companies because of cloudy skies. Until the morning of the very day of the "hunt" we managed to book with BookLapland. We left by van from Rovaniemi at 7:30 pm. The guide immediately informed us that finding a place without clouds for a good show would be a bit more difficult than usual. However, by driving northwest for about 2 hours/2:30 hours we managed to find a place with clear skies and a good forecast of boreal activity. We stopped and waited for complete darkness to arrive (in fact, the days in early April are much longer). The lights started to show around 11 or so and the show lasted more than an hour. During the show the guides did not stop for a second to take pictures of us in this beautiful setting. After about an hour of the show we left again, returning to Rovaniemi at about 2:00 am. The next day we received the photos taken with the professional camera by email. It was a fantastic and unforgettable experience. I recommend this experience with Booklapland to everyone, they are really knowledgeable, honest and professional.

I picked this tour because I wanted a company that would put a lot of effort into finding the northern lights. they were great and picked me up from my hotel, even last minute. very cordial and nice. we did see the northern lights and even drove to the border of Sweden! It was a little chaotic with trying to get everyone’s photos, not exactly what I imagined, but sounds like that’s very common. they sent these photos to us after too! overall would recommend if you want to have the best shot at seeing the northern lights.

Loved the trip. We actually saw dancing Auroras and got multiple pictures clicked. We were accompanied by Willy- he was pretty engaging throughout the trip. There was no hassle in the trip- we were picked up from our property in a nice, clean van and taken 150 km north from Rovaniemi for aurora sighting. Willy told us that if we were not going to see aurora from there, he’ll take us to a different location. Luckily, we saw it within 30 mins we reached there.

Great tour. The guys did their best to take us to several locations where the lights were visible, even if it meant some hours driving from Rovaniemi. But it was absolutely worth it. We could take as many photos we wanted and they also made us some warm drinks to keep us from not freezing. Thanks!

It has been an incredible experience. The day was very cloudy but thanks to the search for clear skies and solar intensity, we managed to see the aurora. Great professionals!

Definitely recommended. Got to see it on a snowy day in rovaniemi. The guides ensured that we see the northern lights even if we had to travel 300 kms for that.... when most of the people were very pessimistic of seeing the northern lights on that day. Good to see the lights on 3rd day after two unsuccessful attempts.
Thanks 😊 to the our guides to ensure that we see it.

It was really worth to take the Aurora Hunting Pro Tour. We’ve decided to take the tour on our first night, so that if we couldn’t see the lights from the first time, to have another couple of evenings to chase them. But we were lucky to find this tour. The guys did their best to drive us to spots with clear sky where the lights could be seen. The drive took a couple of hours to arrive to three locations, all of them with beautiful views of northern lights. They took as many photos we liked, with no rush, and also prepared us warm drinks and lit a fire so we warm up. Warmly recommended for those really seeking to maximize their chances to see the Aurora.
