Overview
Join a larger group in a heated coach, starting at our city-centre office in Rovaniemi. Before we set off, we check cloud maps, weather forecasts, and aurora activity. Your guide uses those checks to choose where to drive and keeps watching the conditions during the hunt with stops that suit the coach.
Your guide explains what to look for, checks the changing conditions, and takes photos while you watch. You can ask questions about the aurora and the places we stop along the way. When the aurora appears, your guide takes photos of you under it. Hot drinks, cookies, and edited photos are included.
