“Excellent tour! We saw the Northern Lights in August! Incredible experience. Thank you, Leevi. (Original) Excelente tour! Vimos auroras en agosto! Increíble experiencia. Gracias Leevi.”
“Lovely time with Jan today, and absolutely a blast of an experience with Finnish ice fishing. We mostly all caught fish, had a grill pit going in the middle of the frozen lake, passed around sausages with hot berry tea. Would be something you would try at least when you’re in Lapland.”
“I contacted them for a tour of the reindeer farm; they were very courteous and welcoming. Our guide, Sara, was an excellent driver and photographer. (Original) Mi sono rivolta a loro per la visita alla fattoria delle renne, sono molto cortesi e accoglienti. La nostra guida, Sarà, è stata un’eccellente autista e fotografa.”
“An absolutely incredible Northern Lights experience with Beyond the Arctic! Juho Matias was an outstanding guide—professional, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated to giving us the best possible chance to see the aurora He drove us to the perfect spot with clear skies. And it was all worth it—the Northern Lights display we witnessed was simply breathtaking! Juho made the entire experience smooth, comfortable, and memorable with his expertise and passion. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for an unforgettable aurora experience! ✨”
“Took skiiing trip with Elja, it was nice experience and Elja took care of us.”
“We were at Ranua zoo. A great excursion and excellent tour guide. A young man Juho-Matias was very interesting and he took great photos of my son and me. We are grateful and hope to come again!”
“Antti is a great help and great ambassador of wonderful hospitality 💓🙏🏻🫶🏼🧿”
“Wonderful experience! Our guide, Leevi, was truly talented and professional! The dogs were very well cared for, affectionate, and friendly. The owners were kind and attentive to our every need. (Original) Esperienza stupenda! La nostra guida Leevi è stato davvero bravo e professionale! Cani tenuti molto bene, affettuosi e affabili. Proprietari gentili e molto attenti a ogni esigenza.”
“Amazing visit to the Reindeer farm. The animals were happy and the ride was worth every single penny. We were with Barreno Jorge and he is an absolutely wonderful guide. Not only he just picked us and dropped us off but carried our luggages and ran with us when we had to catch a bus. He went far above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed this visit. Absolutely recommended 10/10.”
“The husky dog sledding experience was incredible! We took our 3 young children (ages 3-9), and they were obsessed with the dogs. The dogs were so well treated, and it was so cool to see them have a dog that was on a sled team that had won the Iditarod (he’s the jumpy one 😆). Would highly recommend this experience! Also, pick up and drop off at the hotel was smooth and easy to arrange!”

Book your adventure!Looking for the best things to do in Rovaniemi? The capital of Finnish Lapland packs more into one trip than most countries manage in a region: the Arctic Circle, Santa Claus himself, two rivers, three national parks within driving distance, and — on a clear, dark night — the northern lights above the rooftops. The hard part isn’t finding something to do. It’s knowing where a local would actually go, and how to see the city at its most authentic instead of from the window of a 50-seat bus.
The best time to see the northern lights in Lapland is from late August to early April, on dark, clear nights, with the highest odds around the equinoxes and through the deep-winter months of December to March. There is no single perfect date — the aurora is a natural phenomenon — but get the season, the hours and the sky right, and Finnish Lapland is one of the most reliable places on Earth to watch the lights dance.
The best places to see the northern lights share three things in common: they sit under or near the auroral oval, they have long, dark winter nights, and they get you away from city light pollution. Finland, Norway, Iceland, Sweden, Canada and Alaska all qualify — but where you actually point your camera matters just as much as which country you fly to.
