Rovaniemi Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

It was a lovely experience, our tour guide SK is very experienced in finding auroras. We were unsure at first whether we were going to see it as the weather has been really bad the whole week, and also the same for the day they have finally decided to set out the tour. None of the stats were going our way but they believe that it is the right day to head for the hunt! And it was indeed our lucky day and we even managed to see dancing Aurora! SK was also very experienced explaining how they hunt for auroras, what we are looking at, what the different colours mean. We even got to see the red one with our naked eyes!

The guides greeted us promptly at the agreed location. They even provided us with Finnish chocolate for the drive to the zoo. Once there, they got our tickets quickly and got us orientated. We had over 2 hours to explore the zoo which enabled us to see all of the animals. They were waiting patiently for us in the parking lot for the drive back to Rovaniemi. Overall, it was a great experience.

I was happy to see more of the aurora than I expected.

I found Winterent on Instagram, and I am so glad I did. We ordered 2 adults suits, which include gloves, boots and neck liners, I also ordered my toddler a snowsuit, boots, mittens and neck liner. We had the clothing delivered to our hotel. and it was literally available from the moment we arrived. All clothing and shoes were true to size, none of us got cold once, and most importantly my toddler was warm throughout. I also purchased a hat for my son through Wnterent which was excellent as covered his ears and neck. When we departed we arranged for them to collect from the hotel, which they did. I couldn't recommend them enough, and would encourage people to use them instead of buying outfits that might not combat the artic conditions.

I did the forest horseback ride and it was an amazing experience, HIGHLY recommend! They were kind enough to pick me up from over an hour away when my ride arrangements fell through, were so friendly, and made sure I was comfortable during the whole ride. It was a peaceful ride through the forest and we stopped for a breathtaking lake/mountain view. If you’re adventurous, love the outdoors , want an experience that is thrilling yet safe, this is a great idea!

The clothes are in good condition and keep you very warm. Definitely reccomend it to people who are having outside activities in winter season.

Paul is a very good tour guide he is very professional and always check our needs. He drives us to three different spots to catch the aurora and take many photos for us ! I highly recommend this private tour. Thank you for creating unforgettable memories for us :)

Paul was an excellent tour guide! There was low activity for the night, but he took us out anyways and we ended up seeing some amazing northern lights!! He also got fantastic photos!

Paul was very communicative and flexible. We had a good time at the zoo. Great way to see the Arctic animals in the wild.

Dress nice and warm, wear decent boots or your feet will get cold, be aware and careful of slippery ice. It's definitely an exciting experience and rustic in some aspects with the guide building a fire in a teepee where you can keep warm. That of course means clothing will need either washing or airing due to the fire. It all makes, together with the location, a very memorable experience.

Just an incredible tour with Juho on his family's reindeer farm with nonstop highlights all morning - feeding the reindeer, watching Juho's father interact with the herd, enjoying homemade pancakes and berry jams made by Juho's mother Liisa, and getting to walk the adorable Noppe in the forest. Loved that White Winter Lapland is a working, non-touristy farm that lets their reindeer live as they wish without forcing them to do anything (even the walk), and that the family works the farm themselves and were happy to share nuggets on reindeer herding and life in Lapland with us.Would love to visit again some day!

We had Paul for the hunt and he is really the best person you can get, he really does everything to make the experience the best as possible - even if it seems impossible because of the weather, he makes it possible 😊 he takes amazing pictures and makes the hunt really special. Also the whole communication about the hunt beforehand from his brother Louis was on point, he updates you about the situation, so you have all the information you need and you know where you stand. If I would go on more aurora hunting tours in future, I would choose this one over and over again without hesitation - I wouldn’t even try to look for others! It’s really a value for money for sure. Thanks so much for this magical night!

We had a fantastic tour guide Emma she was so professional and patient we went looking for the Northern Lights and we saw them thanks in part for her patience and knowledge we ate yummy sausage @ a campfire she built and we had a fabulous time thanks Emma for a fabulous experience @ Rovaniemi

Aww we really enjoyed this, absolute bucket list material for us, our guide was lovely and made the whole morning enjoyable, not rushed at all, everything went smoothly so so glad we booked x

We joined this tour with my sister and her boyfriend, and it turned out to be so much more than just a typical aurora tour — it actually felt like a real hunt ✨Both guides were highly professional, but at the same time incredibly warm, fun, and easy to connect with. They explained everything in detail, guided us perfectly, and made sure we were always in the best possible spot. 💚What really made a difference was the passion — especially from Louis. You can tell he’s genuinely into what he does, and that kind of energy makes the whole experience feel different… in a good way. 🫡And I have to say, the dedication didn’t just stop when the tour ended — the follow-ups, the extra tips, and the attention were definitely noticed and appreciated. 🙏🏼If you want an authentic aurora hunting experience with people who know exactly what they’re doing (and make it a little more memorable than expected), I’d absolutely recommend these two awesome brothers! 🤞🏼

From start to finish this was by far the best experience we had in Finland. This is our second trip to Finland this year & we have fallen in love with this beautiful reindeer farm. We were welcomed like family by Juhos wonderful parents , the farm is so personal, peaceful & a very special place to be in nature with these amazing animals that steal your heart. They definitely calm your mind & have such gentle souls . They are so well cared for and the family are so passionate about their work. We learned so much about the reindeer here and our son got to walk a lovely reindeer through beautiful scenery , the highlight of his holiday. After this we went to relax in a beautiful wooden cabin where we were invited to have some homemade pancakes with very tasty cloudberry Jam & hot blueberry juice . If you go to Lapland, this is one experience that you have to do , this is for everyone young or old. The only thing we didn’t like was leaving but we will definitely return. Thanks so much for a wonderful day where we made unforgettable memories , Johanne , Kevin & Ben 💕💕 🇮🇪
