A last-minute night with Finn. A week with Sanni, Katja, Jana, Sara and Ville.

One night in town

Beyond Arctic completely surpassed my expectations.

I had an absolutely exceptional experience with Beyond Arctic, and I can’t praise them highly enough. Another provider had cancelled on me at the very last minute due to weather, and I was only in town for one night. I thought my chance to see the Northern Lights was gone but Beyond Arctic completely surpassed my expectations.

They accepted my last-minute booking without hesitation and even picked me up despite my accommodation being outside their usual pickup area. That alone showed how reliable and accommodating they are. There were no last-minute cancellations, no excuses about the weather, just a determined, expert team who clearly know how to find the Northern Lights even in less-than-ideal conditions.

They provided free weather-appropriate clothing for everyone, which made a huge difference on a cold night, and also took professional photos at no extra cost. Those photos are stunning memories I’ll treasure forever.

It turned into a fantastic night under the Arctic sky, and I’m especially grateful to Finn, who clearly loves what he does. His passion, knowledge, and enthusiasm made the whole experience even more special.

Highly, highly recommended to all travellers especially those like me who only have one night and need a company they can genuinely rely on. Beyond Arctic will not disappoint. My sincere thanks to the entire team, and especially to Finn, for creating an unforgettable Northern Lights adventure.

The team

What I found was not just a company, but a family of passionate, talented, and incredibly kind people.

My entire trip to Lapland was shaped by Beyond Arctic — I booked all my activities with them, and it was the best decision I could have made. What I found was not just a company, but a family of passionate, talented, and incredibly kind people who turn every moment into something magical.

Sanni, with her gentle soul and artistic eye, gave me memories I will cherish forever. Every photo she captured holds an emotion, a breath, a piece of Arctic light. Her presence alone makes you feel safe, calm, and connected.

Katja brings a joy and warmth that lights up even the coldest snowfield. Her passion for the North is contagious — she makes you feel the Arctic, not just see it.

Jana, with her bright energy and genuine care, adds a touch of serenity to every tour. She makes everything smooth, effortless, and full of comfort.

Sara brings kindness and a beautiful calmness that instantly puts you at ease. Her attention to every detail makes the experience seamless from start to finish.

And Ville, whose deep knowledge and love for Lapland transform every moment into a lesson, a story, and an adventure. His presence gives a sense of grounding and authenticity that few guides can offer.

Together, they form a team that is truly exceptional — passionate, professional, human.

Every activity felt crafted with heart. Every moment felt sincere.

If you are dreaming of an Arctic experience that is meaningful, emotional, and unforgettable, Beyond Arctic is the place where magic truly lives.

To Sanni, Katja, Jana, Sara, and Ville — thank you for the warmth, the laughter, the memories, and the beauty you shared with me.

This journey will stay with me for the rest of my life.

  • “We did the Northern Lights tour and can highly recommend it. You travel in a small group and feel very well looked after. Our guide Sara’s enthusiasm was evident from the very first moment, and she did everything she could to ensure we actually saw the Northern Lights. We had a wonderful experience and are really looking forward to the professional photos Sara took. (Original) Wir haben die Nordlichter Tour gemacht und können sie nur wärmstens weiterempfehlen. Man ist einer kleinen Gruppe unterwegs und fühlt sich gut aufgehoben. Unserem Guide Sara hat man die Begeisterung vom ersten Moment an angemerkt und sie hat alles dafür gegeben, dass wir wirklich Nordlichter sehen. Wir hatten ein wunderschönes Erlebnis und freuen schon sehr, auf die professionellen Fotos, die Sara gemacht hat.”

  • “We had an amazing experience on the Rovaniemi Riisitunturi National Park tour! Our guide, Ville, was incredibly kind and supportive throughout the entire trip. At one point, I wasn’t feeling well and thought I wouldn’t be able to continue the hike, but Ville was so patient, encouraging, and understanding. Thanks to his support, I somehow managed to complete the hike! The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and the BBQ was a perfect and cozy addition to the day. Ville also took a lot of professional-quality photos for us, which made the experience even more special — such beautiful memories to take home. Everything was perfectly organized, and the whole day felt truly magical. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Rovaniemi!”
