THE GUIDES

THE BEST OF THE NORTH, HANDPICKED

Discover carefully curated activities from local operators — all in one place, ready to explore and book.

CHOSEN FOR A REASON

We look beyond the obvious to find activities with a real sense of place — experiences worth making part of your trip.

The North has no shortage of things to do. Finding the experiences truly worth your time is another matter.

The Guides brings together a carefully considered selection of activities from local operators. We look for experiences with character, quality and a genuine connection to the place around them.

Some are iconic. Others are unexpected. Every one is chosen to help you experience more of the North — and spend less time searching for it.

Itinerary

Pick-up

Your guide will pick you up from your accommodation and give a short introduction about the evening, including where you’ll be driving and what to expect.

Your experience

Join a small-group Northern Lights hunt from Rovaniemi with a local guide who tracks aurora forecasts, cloud cover, and geomagnetic activity in real time, driving as far as needed — sometimes 350+ km across Lapland — to find clear skies, with professional DSLR photography included and a 100% money-back guarantee if the lights don't appear.

Pick-up

Your guide picks you up from your accommodation, usually between 17:00 and 19:00, and gives a short introduction to the evening, including where you'll be driving and what to expect.

The hunt for clear skies

Your guide continuously checks aurora forecasts, cloud coverage, solar activity, and geomagnetic conditions, adjusting the route in real time. This stage can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours, and if needed the group will drive 350+ km across Lapland to reach clear skies.

Northern Lights and photography

Once you're under clear skies, it's time to enjoy the aurora. Your guide captures the moment on a high-quality DSLR camera so you can focus on watching the lights.

Drive back and drop-off

After the show, the group heads back toward Rovaniemi and everyone is dropped off at their accommodation. Total tour length is typically 4–10 hours, depending on weather and aurora activity.
