Jens V2024-04-25 Aurora hunting We had a cloudy night with a lot of solar activity. The tour guides really kept on driving for hours until we found a spot without clouds, so we could see the northern lights Daniel Schallner2024-04-08 Best trip of the holiday! At the Start of the trip we got picked up in a really nice small bus with nice Light Ing. Because we had really good conditions, we did not have to drive very far from the city. The guides chose an amazing lake, where we waited for the auroras to show up. They knew what they where doing and the auroras showed up shortly after. We had an amazing night and took very cool photos! I would really recommend this trip and might do it again in the future with some other friends. Mattia2024-04-04 UNFORGETTABLE TOUR L'esperienza con BookLapland è stata fantastica. Per due sere consecutive io e la mia fidanzata non eravamo riusciti a partire con altre compagnie per il cielo nuvoloso. Fin quando la mattina del giorno stesso della "caccia" siamo riusciti a prenotare con BookLapland. Siamo partiti con il van da Rovaniemi alle 19:30. La guida ci ha subito informati che trovare un posto senza nuvole per un bello spettacolo sarebbe stato un po' più difficile del solito. Però guidando verso Nord-Ovest per circa 2 ore/2 ore e 30 siamo riusciti a trovare un luogo con cielo sereno e buone previsioni di attività boreale. Ci siamo fermati e abbiamo aspettato che il buio completo arrivasse (infatti le giornate ad inizio aprile sono molto più lunghe). Le luci hanno iniziato a vedersi verso le 11 circa e lo show è durato più di un'ora. Durante lo spettacolo le guide non hanno smesso un secondo di scattarci fotografie in questa splendida cornice. Dopo circa un'ora di spettacolo siamo ripartiti, rientrando a Rovaniemi alle 2.00 circa. Il giorno dopo abbiamo ricevuto le foto scattate con la fotocamera professionale via email. E' stata un'esperienza fantastica ed indimenticabile. Consiglio a tutti questa esperienza con Booklapland, sono davvero preparati, onesti e professionali. The experience with BookLapland was great. For two consecutive evenings my fiancée and I had been unable to leave with other companies because of cloudy skies. Until the morning of the very day of the "hunt" we managed to book with BookLapland. We left by van from Rovaniemi at 7:30 pm. The guide immediately informed us that finding a place without clouds for a good show would be a bit more difficult than usual. However, by driving northwest for about 2 hours/2:30 hours we managed to find a place with clear skies and a good forecast of boreal activity. We stopped and waited for complete darkness to arrive (in fact, the days in early April are much longer). The lights started to show around 11 or so and the show lasted more than an hour. During the show the guides did not stop for a second to take pictures of us in this beautiful setting. After about an hour of the show we left again, returning to Rovaniemi at about 2:00 am. The next day we received the photos taken with the professional camera by email. It was a fantastic and unforgettable experience. I recommend this experience with Booklapland to everyone, they are really knowledgeable, honest and professional. Stay184309986152024-04-02 Comfy Trip with engaging host Loved the trip. We actually saw dancing Auroras and got multiple pictures clicked. We were accompanied by Willy- he was pretty engaging throughout the trip. There was no hassle in the trip- we were picked up from our property in a nice, clean van and taken 150 km north from Rovaniemi for aurora sighting. Willy told us that if we were not going to see aurora from there, he’ll take us to a different location. Luckily, we saw it within 30 mins we reached there. Karen U2024-04-02 Incredible experience It was an incredible experience, in Rovaniemi the day was very cloudy; However, the boys took us over 200km away to ensure we saw the auroras! Highly recommended! Cruiser383120437862024-04-02 Hunting Auroras It has been an incredible experience. The day was very cloudy but thanks to the search for clear skies and solar intensity, we managed to see the aurora. Great professionals! Estefanía D2024-04-02 Guaranteed Aurora Hunter Erik and his team were super friendly from the beginning to the entire group. That night it was snowing in Rovaniemi and they took us several kilometers away so we could see the northern lights, and it did. After having a reservation with different aurora hunters for months, supposedly highly valued, they left us stranded because in April the aurora season is over and they have already raised enough and it is not worth it for them to travel kilometers. However, Erik and his team tracked down the apps to take us to a spectacular location to see the auroras. We left two vans of 8 people. The photographer was lovely, he took all the photos we wanted. Many thanks to Erik and his team for making us enjoy such a night. jsdoo2024-04-01 The dream of chasing the Aurora comes true! We participated in the tour on 28/3/24. It was cloudy and snowy in the center of Rovaniemi that night...but the tour guides Emil & Eerik worked really hard to let us see the aurora :) He drove us to a cloudless place 200+ kilometers north, and used his mobile phone to track the aurora along the way. We stopped at three locations, and at each location we saw auroras with intensity visible to the naked eye! The tour guide also brought a professional camera and took a lot of photos for us. At the last location, the tour guide also lit a campfire and drank hot juice around it - it was so dreamy :) Thanks to Emil & Eerik for their professional knowledge of the aurora and their sincerity in leading tourists to pursue the aurora. Definitely recommend this tour! ぞのさん2024-03-31 best tour ① The people at the tour company are kind. ② Increase the probability of seeing the aurora →Long tour, go to multiple spots ③Photography service by photographer

Our tours often cross the border into Sweden or Norway, so it is advisable to bring a form of identification with you.
The best time to see the northern lights in Lapland is typically September, October, February, March, and early April. During these months, weather conditions are often favorable, and aurora activity tends to increase around the equinoxes. Clear skies and high geomagnetic activity during these times offer the best chance to witness the spectacular northern lights.
Both are the same tour, but with different ticket types. The Guaranteed ticket offers a money-back guarantee if we do not find the auroras (no photo proof, no payment).
Generally, we do not provide food or drinks on our tours. We recommend bringing your own snacks and drinks, as No Limits Tours can sometimes extend for long periods. Bringing warm beverages, such as hot cocoa, can be pleasant and help you stay warm. Our focus is 110% on finding the northern lights, so no food or drink is provided on the tour.
Weather conditions can affect the tour’s feasibility. If the weather is so bad that the tour is unsafe or impractical, we will offer alternative dates or possibly a full refund if the alternative dates do not work for you.
We offer a unique combination of expert guidance, a high success rate, and flexible tours. Additionally, our “Guaranteed” ticket type ensures you get your money back if you do not see the auroras. This sets us apart from other providers and gives you peace of mind.
We recommend booking the tour for your first day of arrival to maximize your chances of seeing the northern lights. If weather conditions are unfavorable and we assess that the tour is not feasible, we can reschedule or offer alternative dates. This way, you ensure the best possible chance to experience the auroras.
