About the activity

Discover the dancing lights in the sky with the smallest members of the family and enjoy an evening in the Finnish wilderness with an expert who will keep you safe and entertain the little ones on this family-friendly Northern Lights experience from Rovaniemi! Located in Finnish Lapland, and as the capital of the region, Rovaniemi is a winter wonderland that boasts stunning snowy landscapes and is even named as the "official" hometown of Santa Claus. This place is located in the Arctic Circle, which makes it perfect to go looking for the Northern Lights, which are a phenomenon that occurs when particles from the sun enter the Earth's atmosphere and interact with it in what results as bright, colorful lights in the sky.

On the day of your family-friendly Northern Lights experience from Rovaniemi, you'll need to arrive at the meeting point in the Rovaniemi Insider headquarters, in the center of the city. There, you'll meet your expert instructor, who will introduce themselves, distribute warm clothing to every participant, and give you a quick but thorough safety and itinerary briefing so you are prepared for the evening. Lastly, they will take you on a short drive to their Northern Lights watching encampment, which is populated by warmed huts where you'll spend most of your night!

Then, you'll sit with hot drinks and delicious snacks, and wait for the show! This activity is organized especially for young children, so while you wait, the instructor will pull out some equipment so the children can have fun sledding downhill or kick sledding, and if you're very lucky, you'll also get to see reindeer from up close, since the Lappish countryside is their natural environment. Now, you must keep in mind that the Northern Lights are a natural and completely unpredictable phenomenon, which means that, as much as they would like to, your instructors can't make them appear in the sky. However, they are experts at finding them, and they will make sure that your excursion takes place in the best moments to observe them.

Taking into account that this 3-hour Northern Lights experience from Rovaniemi will take place in the icy Finnish outdoors, you should remember to bring warm winter clothing, including thermal or wool underlayers, wind and waterproof outerwear, a hat, a scarf, gloves, snow boots or practical winter shoes, and anything else you might need (medication, snacks, etc.) to stay safe and fully enjoy this amazing experience!

Take your chance to dive into the Finnish countryside with your whole family and trust your instructor to make this a fun, educational, and unforgettable adventure. Book your family-friendly Northern Lights experience from Rovaniemi today!
