On Viator
Several of the same hunts sell on Viator. BookLapland’s group hunt is Rovaniemi: Northern Lights Tour, 100% Guarantee with Free Photos at US$88, Arctic GM Experiences OY’s is Rovaniemi: Northern Lights Tour - 100% Guarantee & Photos at US$110, and Polar Lapland Oy’s is Rovaniemi: Northern Lights Tour at US$67 (checked November 2026). The operators price in euros, so what you pay in US dollars on either platform depends on the day’s conversion.
Which price to pay
If you have your own winter clothing and want the lowest fare, the cheapest options of Polar Lapland Oy (5 hours) and Lapland Explorers Oy (6 hours) cost the least of the four we read. If you have no winter clothing, BookLapland’s group tour includes Arctic overalls and boots on every option, and for a first night out it is the one to book.
See dates and options for BookLapland's hunt
On BookLapland’s hunt the small group costs about half as much again, for a longer night, fewer people and pickup from your accommodation. On a stay of two or three nights, which night to book matters more than the option.
