What you can expect

  • The Northern Lights are never guaranteed… except with us.

    As Lapland’s Original Aurora Hunters™, our family has lived under the Arctic skies for 20 generations since the 1600s. Trusted by over 50,000 guests worldwide, Arctic GM is one of the most respected Aurora companies in Rovaniemi. With a proven 99% success rate, unlimited mileage & time, and 150+ guides giving us real weather knowledge on the ground — even when satellites and weather apps get it wrong — we cross borders if needed to deliver where others cancel.

    Unlike ordinary tours, we don’t limit your night to a few hours. With us, the hunt lasts as long as it takes — usually 6–10 hours — until you succeed. We operate fully in-house, never outsourced, ensuring the highest standards of safety, comfort, and authenticity. This level of flexibility is only possible because we never operate large groups or coach buses. Every hunt is conducted in premium 4×4 vans with a maximum of 8 guests, ensuring silence, mobility, and access to remote Aurora locations buses simply can’t reach.

    Your night begins with pickup from your accommodation in Rovaniemi. Step into a brand-new heated 2025 Ford Tourneo 4×4 van, built for safe travel to remote Aurora spots in warmth and comfort — even at –40°C. Your small group (max 8 guests) is welcomed by your certified, first-aid trained guide — also a professional photographer.

    Throughout the night, our 24/7 Back Office Aurora Command Centre monitors clouds, weather models & solar wind all night, and coordinates 150+ guides across 4 locations in 3 countries to reroute hunts instantly to the clearest skies. This unique network gives us unmatched ability to find clear skies, even when satellites and weather apps get it wrong. If conditions shift, we move too — sometimes across borders — until the Aurora appears.

    When the Northern Lights dance above, you’ll stand beneath the Arctic sky while your guide captures professional DSLR photos of your experience. Thermal clothing, hot drinks, and light snacks are provided to keep you safe and comfortable, even in –40°C.

    Most other tours last 3–4 hours. We stay out until success — because for us, it’s not about the time, it’s about the Aurora.
