Overview

Hunting the Northern Lights in Lapland is unforgettable — with Arctic GM, it’s a guided Aurora hunt shaped by real-time conditions. If no Northern Lights are captured by camera at any point during your tour, you will receive a full refund.

Operated by The Original Aurora Hunters®, Arctic GM is a family-run company with roots in Lapland dating back to the 1600s, bringing generations of local knowledge into every tour.

The evening begins at a central meeting point in Rovaniemi. Travel by comfortable coach as guides adjust the route using weather and Aurora forecasts, with the possibility of driving up to 2 hours from the city, including toward the Swedish border when conditions require.

Stops are made in carefully selected locations away from light pollution. When the sky clears, step into the Arctic landscape while guides assist with photos under the Northern Lights.

Thermal overalls, hot drinks, and light snacks are included. The experience lasts approximately 4–6 hours.
