Once booked, the entire private sauna, shower room, dressing room, and lounge are reserved exclusively for your group — no other bookings during your stay.

Use the private lounge, with a dining table, fridge, and microwave, to relax, eat, or simply unwind.

The sauna comes with ecological shampoo and conditioner, an authentic Lapland sauna scent, fresh towels, and cold sparkling water.

On-site luggage storage means you can drop your bags and settle in before hotel check-in, or spend your last hours in Rovaniemi relaxing after checkout.

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.

What to wear

Dress in warm layers for the Arctic night: bring a warm hat, insulated gloves, and a warm winter jacket.

Santa Claus Village is a perfect family destination with loads of fun things to do — get ready for an unforgettable visit!

We'll start by picking you up from your hotel in Rovaniemi or from our office, then take a short ride to Santa Claus Village, where your friendly guide becomes your personal Santa's helper — showing you the village's best spots and taking wonderful pictures of you, which we'll send you later that day.

First stop is Santa's Post Office, where his little helpers are always busy. Then it's on to the Arctic Circle line itself, where you can step across it while your guide captures the moment.

You'll also see the Roosevelt Cottage, the oldest building in Santa Claus Village, built in 1950 for Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt's visit to the Arctic Circle — a neat piece of history.

When you get hungry, grab a snack or meal at one of the village restaurants (own cost). Afterwards you'll have free time to explore on your own — browse souvenir shops or visit the reindeer farm for a small extra fee.

We'll wrap up your Christmas adventure with a comfy ride back to your accommodation in Rovaniemi — come to the official hometown of Santa Claus and make it extra special.

Private pickup in Tromsø. Your night starts with a private pickup from your accommodation, straight into your own modern, heated 4x4 minivan with your personal guide — who is also your dedicated photographer.

Live Aurora tracking. Through the night, a back-office team combines satellite forecasts, weather models and live field reports to find where the sky is clearest. If conditions change, you move too — sometimes across the border — until the Aurora appears.

Arctic scenery above Tromsø. Surrounded by fjords, mountains and islands, Tromsø sits above the Arctic Circle and is one of the world's best-known places to see the Northern Lights. With unlimited mileage and flexible routes, and just your own group in the vehicle, the search can range wherever the skies are clearest, at your own pace.

Under the Aurora. When the lights appear, you'll stand beneath the Arctic night sky while your guide captures the moment in professional DSLR photos, just for you, delivered securely online after the tour. Hot drinks, light snacks and thermal overalls keep you warm, even down to –40°C.

As long as it takes. Most tours last 3–4 hours; this one typically runs 6–10 hours with unlimited time and mileage, so the chase continues until the Aurora is found.
