The tour operator was good as they provide professional service to suit you up, take photos and provide transport. Book this on a cloudless day to increase your chance of seeing northen lights by the lake without the need for “hunting” at multiple places.
Totally recommended. It is a small car (6pax) that will combine with two other pax, making my group size about 18 pax. Although the sky was forecasted cloudy, Alex and his team tried their best to scout for the lights while we stayed in the comfort of our car. Caught northern lights. Highly recommended that you book this due to price and value.
Cool music in the car. Had fun for the activity night. Alex and his team brought us to their secret spot and we managed to see the northern light in our first night touchdown in Rovaniemi. Enjoy hot drink and self bbq Finnish sausage in the forest under the moon and Aurora in the very cold night, an incredible and unforgettable experience.
