A great place to watch the enchanting Northern Lights, commonly known as the Aurora Borealis, is Rovaniemi, the official home of Santa Claus. A guided Rovaniemi Northern tour is the ideal way to witness this natural wonder if you've always desired to see dancing lights across the Arctic sky. The best advice for organizing your Rovaniemi Northern Lights tour is as follows:

1. Choose the Right Time of the Year

The Northern Lights are visible in Rovaniemi from late August to early April, but your chances are highest during the winter months when the nights are longer and darker.

2. Consider a Guided Rovaniemi Northern Lights Tour

Local tour guides, such as Alex from ToTheNorth, are skilled at predicting Aurora activity, detecting prime viewing areas away from light pollution, and arranging transportation. Lappish sausages and glögi will keep you warm while you wait, ensuring your comfort and enjoyment throughout the "Aurora Hunt with BBQ" trip, which offers both an adventurous and a pleasant experience.

3. Dress Warmly (Very Warmly!)

Winters in Rovaniemi are freezing! Wear a warm middle layer, an outer layer that is waterproof, and thermal base layers. Don't forget to include a scarf, hat, gloves, and warm socks. If you have snowshoes, ToTheNorth advises bringing them along with your own overalls.

4. Be Patient and Flexible

Sightings of the Northern Lights are not assured as they are a natural phenomena. Allow extra time for waiting and be accommodating with your schedule. Wintertime is the greatest time to see the Northern Lights in areas closer to the Arctic Circle. For the best viewing experience, check the weather forecast and locate yourself away from light pollution.

5. Maximize Your Viewing Experience

  • Bring a Camera: If you want to capture the lights, a DSLR or mirrorless camera with manual settings, which allow you to adjust the exposure and focus, is ideal. A tripod is also helpful for long-exposure shots.
  • Discover More About the Lights: The Aurora Borealis, sometimes referred to as the Northern Lights is a naturally occurring light show that is caused when electrically charged particles that are emitted by the Sun and travel 150 million kilometers [92 million miles] to Earth are what cause the aurora borealis. You can have a deeper understanding of this amazing exhibition by learning more about this science.
  • Embrace the Moment: Spend time in the serenity of the Northern Lights than just taking pictures. It is an incredibly remarkable experience that will make you deeply appreciate the nature.
