Northern Lights with campfire BBQ - Had an amazing evening out touring, having Reindeer sausage and marshmallows on the campfire.
We managed to see the Northern Lights as well and some excellent photos taken and sent to us, some great memories on an wonderful evening out.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE, ideal climate and the company keeps everything promised, great photographer. - The exact name of the tour we took on March 25, 2025 is listed in the company’s Spanish brochure as “Photograph of Auroras Boreales” at €110 each passenger.
At 20:45 we arrived at the premises of the company in the center of Rovaniemi, we were given the mats and thermal boots, and at 21 hours sharp we left in a mini van 8 passengers and a driver. After leaving approximately 30 kilometers outside the city, we arrive at a place in the middle of the forest where there are 2 tepees built (tents similar to those of the Sioux). As we got out of the minivan, just at 9:50 pm the aurora was beginning to appear on a night with clear skies, so for 20 minutes we were immensely lucky (as you will see in the photo) to witness an intense aurora. It was impeccably captured by the photographer of the tour, Ricardo Ferreira, that our cameras and cell phones could not capture in so much detail, so I RECOMMEND for a few extra euros, make the tour that they want but with professional photography included. After the first 20 minutes in that place, the aurora blurred and after 45 minutes, traces of it remained. Obviously this is not up to the agency, so I hope you have the same fate as us. Then we were inside the tepee warming our bodies (it was -8 degrees Celsius outside) and we each grilled our own sausages, drinking blueberry tea, until at 23:50 we set off back to the city. We reinstated our thermal clothing at 00:30. The agency fulfilled everything promised in the brochure, and the weather was ideal. One of the best experiences we've ever had! Good luck to you!!

Reasonable prices, hotel pickup and BBQ - This was the cheapest tour offering with a pick up in Rovaniemi in January. The tour shuttle picked me up from my hotel on the outskirts of the city to a central location where a bus took me on the tour. The staff were pretty friendly and informative.
They take you to a small camp just off the highway with Native American style teepees. Campfires are built inside and outside the tents and we are given marshmallows and sausages to cook over the campfires. There is plenty of berry tea drinks to go with it.
Northern lights are pretty fleeting and a lot depends on the ambient atmosphere during the tour. I did not have any luck seeing any Northern lights. But, you have to try by going on such tours.
It was a good experience with this company. The tour was well organized and you do get cold so wear proper winter wear.

You guide the best. Disappointing agency - By mistake we cancelled the activity 24 hotas before but in no way let us change the date the next day.
Impersonal, big agency without any empathy, and not only that, but unsympathetic.
We booked and paid again the next day... I know we screwed up, but they should have looked at our case.
You guide them a wonder, that barbecue with them and their good humor and sympathy and good explanations.
He's plating for guides but not the agency.

NOTHING RECOMMENDABLE - Contract the tours with any of the thousand tour companies that are there except Nordic Unique because our experience in case of twisting something was terrible. We have never encountered such an unserious company. Nothing recommended.

I do not recommend this agency - I do not recommend it in any way, when booking the Northern Lights tour, we were sold a package with a duration of 3 hours, with 3 trips for viewing, the group had to be maximum 10 people (we were 48), dinner with barbecue (n1 sausage) the surprise was: one stop, all camped inside a tent with the rest described above. CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION sell smoke.
