Midnight Sun – 7 Days in Lapland
5 Reviews by TourRadar travelers“Super interesting listening to his facts about everything in sight. He was super friendly and accommodating.”
John, traveled in June
The midnight sun beckons from Finland's most captivating spots, from Helsinki's historic cathedrals to Rovaniemi's Santa Claus Village. Lakeside saunas and traditional reindeer farms complement stays at Hotel Aakenus and Holiday Club Saariselkä.

What people love about Northern Lights Tours in Finland
- Midnight Sun – 7 Days in Lapland
Our experience with Nordic Unique was great. As a little older group some tours did not appeal to us and they were great about rearranging the itinerary. There could have been a little more communication prior to the trip. I would also suggest some kayaks at the lake. Our guide Matthias (Niales) was awesome!! He was patient, kind, knowledgeable and a great cook.
- Aurora Borealis & Glass Igloo
The coordinator was very good. My only disappointment (other than not seeing the northern lights) was I had paid for a private shuttle at the end b to the airport, instead I joined several others on a bus. While it worked very well and wish I had been told it was an option I paid $60 extra for a private transfer. I have brought it up to the tour operator but not resolved.
- Rovaniemi Winter Experience
The activities are nice and our guide Alain was very helpful. Nice tour, I recommend
What our customers ask about Northern Lights Tours & Trips in Finland
When is the best time to see the Northern Lights in Finland?
The Northern Lights viewing season in Finland stretches from late September to March with December through February offering the highest chances of sightings. Places like the Wilderness Hotel Muotka near Saariselkä and Hotel Jeris in Muonio position visitors well for aurora spotting. These hotels provide dedicated Northern Lights trips and have aurora alert systems to notify guests when the lights appear. A TourRadar traveler mentioned "The guides know the best locations for viewing and the dark skies away from city lights provide optimal conditions for witnessing this celestial spectacle."
What accommodation options are available for Northern Lights viewing in Finland?
Finland's range of aurora-focused lodging includes glass-roofed cabins which have become increasingly popular with visitors. Near Ivalo the Aurora Village offers heated glass-roof units where guests can watch for the lights while staying warm in bed. At Lake Inari the Wilderness Hotel Nangu provides standard wilderness rooms and upscale panorama log cabins complete with private saunas. One TourRadar traveler noted "The Hotel in Lapland far exceeded my expectations with its perfect blend of comfort and aurora viewing opportunities."
What are the best locations in Finland for viewing the Northern Lights?
Finnish Lapland's top spots for aurora viewing include the areas around Ivalo Inari and Rovaniemi. The region near Lake Inari home to Wilderness Hotel Nangu stands out for its dark unpolluted skies. Visitors find good viewing conditions at the Aurora Village close to Ivalo while Saariselkä offers multiple observation points. TourRadar travelers report "The location at Lake Inari was perfect - far from city lights and offering unobstructed views of the night sky."
How long should I stay in Finland to maximize my chances of seeing the Northern Lights?
Plan to spend at least 4-7 nights in Finland for the best chance of seeing the aurora. Popular options like the Finnish Lapland Winter tour run 7-8 nights mixing aurora watching with day activities. As one TourRadar traveler shared: "Having several nights in Lapland gave us multiple chances to see the lights and we were rewarded with amazing displays on our third evening."
What activities are typically included in a Finnish Northern Lights tour besides aurora viewing?
Finnish tours blend aurora watching with classic Arctic experiences. Most trips feature 2-4 hour husky safaris visits to reindeer farms with sleigh rides snowmobile trips through forests and guided snowshoe walks around spots like Lake Inari. TourRadar travelers note "Everything about the trip was wonderful - from the husky sledding to the snowmobile safaris." Daytime adventures pair with evening aurora hunts via special excursions including sleigh rides pulled by snowmobiles or stops at dedicated viewing camps.
Are Northern Lights tours in Finland suitable for families?
Finnish Northern Lights tours work well for families especially in Rovaniemi and Levi. Destinations like Santa Claus Village mix aurora viewing with kid-friendly activities. Most tours accept children 4 years and older though age limits may apply to certain activities. According to a TourRadar traveler: "Our children loved the combination of daytime snow activities and evening aurora hunting especially from the comfort of our glass-roofed cabin."
