Rovaniemi Northern Lights Photography Small-Group Tour

On March 10th, we joined this Northern Lights Photography tour, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable nights of our trip! We were a group of 8, and our guide Andi was nothing short of amazing. She was incredibly enthusiastic, well-prepared, and full of energy – even in the freezing -20°C weather! What really set this tour apart was Andi’s passion and professionalism. Unlike our previous experience with another company, Andi's energy kept the whole group excited throughout the night. Her excellent photography skills ensured that we not only saw the Northern Lights but also went home with stunning photos to cherish. She made spontaneous (yet careful and safe) stops at the best spots to capture the lights, and guided us patiently through the entire process. The tour started with a stop at their office where we picked up all the necessary gear – snow overalls, a professional DSLR camera with tripod, mobile tripod, etc. Based on real-time predictions, we headed north of Rovaniemi, toward the Levi region, to chase the lights – and we were not disappointed. The skies came alive with magical displays, and Andi made sure every moment was captured beautifully. This tour was well-organized, exciting, and led by a guide who truly loves what she does. If you're in Rovaniemi and want a memorable Northern Lights experience, this is the one to go for – and if you're lucky, you'll have Andi as your guide!

We joined the Northern Lights Photography Small-Group Tour by Beyond Arctic, and it was absolutely fantastic! Our guide, Natasha, was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. She made sure we understood the fascinating science behind the Northern Lights and guided us in capturing stunning photographs of the spectacle. It was freezing cold, but huddling inside a cozy teepee around a crackling wood fire, cooking hot dogs, and sharing stories made it a memorable and fun experience. Highly recommend this tour—especially with Natasha as your guide!

Ryan was awesome! He was so knowledgeable and clearly excited to look for the lights which in turn increased our excitement. Due to the weather it was a bit difficult to catch the lights with the naked eye, but we did see glimpses and the lights were definitely visible in the pictures we took. Ryan was very kind, and helped us set up our own camera settings, even in -6°C weather- my frozen fingers could never. We didn't have time to campfire and snack, but the warm juice on the way back finished the trip perfectly. We were so cozy and sleepy in the van after a busy night of driving around.
