Night Snowshoeing Adventure under the Northern Lights

The Northern Lights Hunting Adventure by Wild About Lapland offers an unforgettable journey into the Arctic wilderness with the goal of maximizing your chances of witnessing the magical Aurora Borealis. After providing professional winter gear to keep you warm in temperatures as low as -30°C, your Aurora guide will take you far from the city lights of Rovaniemi to hunt for the Northern Lights in the pristine wilderness. The tour’s timing and location are based on up-to-date weather forecasts and solar activity reports, which help ensure you have the best opportunity to observe the phenomenon. Depending on the conditions, your guide may drive up to 400 kilometers away from Rovaniemi to find clearer skies, so the adventure could begin in the afternoon, and you’ll have the flexibility to change locations during the tour to adapt to the weather. Throughout the 7-hour hunt, you’ll visit multiple sites, from open hilltops to tranquil lake beaches, offering both incredible views and the silence of Lapland, with hopes of witnessing the Northern Lights dancing overhead.

This tour is focused on pure Northern Lights hunting, and to keep the energy up for the long journey, you’ll be provided with hot drinks and light snacks at short stops, reducing the time spent around the fire. To help you capture the moment, your guide will take professional photos of you and the Aurora, which will be sent to you the following day. With small groups of up to eight people, the experience is more personal, ensuring the guide can attend to each guest’s needs and questions. The smaller group size also improves your chances of a successful Northern Lights sighting, as reduced light pollution and fewer distractions enhance the viewing experience.
