About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- AashimaK110 contributionsArctic GM is absolutely the best!!We went for two days with Arctic GM as chasing aurora was our main aim for coming to Finland. On the first day we went with Cosmin from their team, and he was so nice with explaining us about aurora, solar activity and of course - taking amazing photos at the best location that he chose. On the next day, we were informed that there is only a 10-20% chance but we still didn’t want to miss it so we went ahead with Tokur from their team. He was so so patient with finding us a good spot even though the clouds were rolling in.. and drove us to the south east for 2 hours in search of the Aurora. It might have been tiring for him but he didn’t give up. We finally saw the northern lights and got good pics again. Both the days were spectacular experiences for us in every way and we recommend Arctic GM definitely for aurora hunts if you’re in Lapland. Their guides have great techincal knowledge, amazing at taking professional pictures and are also wonderful people! Thank you Arctic GM for making our aurora experience so so special.Written 4 October 2024
- 452aliciap0 contributionsA must-book with company and experienceIncredible experience. 10/10 recommend. Excellent customer service and we loved our day with the dogs. This company was so great to work with and we really loved the whole trip.Written 26 September 2024
- dldy0 contributions10/10 guides and huskiesMany companies offer husky tours similar to this, but we went with Arctic GM due to the fact that they offer a longer mushing experience than most others. The owner of the husky farm took us on a tour introducing us to a great number of his huskies, and we even got to see the 2-week-old puppies. As dog/animal lovers, it was a pleasure learning more about them and their different personalities! Our guide was Tokur, and we thoroughly enjoyed the time spent together. We were advised to layer up with gloves, as the wind would be cold due to the speed of the dogs (an overlook on our part), and he very kindly lent us his own jacket and gloves. He was extremely hospitable, and we had a good chat over some snacks when the activity was over.Written 19 September 2024
- dldy0 contributionsCan’t recommend this enoughWe’re still at a loss for words regarding how magical this experience was. Our guide/photographer was Romain, and he was the most fantastic person for the role. Extremely knowledgeable in his field (of both the lights and photography), he was constantly sharing with us everything to do with the northern lights, and what conditions are required to view them. There was a lot of astronomy jargon but he explained in a way easy for the layman to understand. Since it was a private tour, we got his full attention when it came to photos. As northern lights are unpredictable and can disappear in a flash, this was very important - we only wanted to chase the lights and specifically did not want a tour where we’ll spend a portion of the time barbecuing food (even so, he did offer us his own chocolate). We are very pleased with every aspect of his guidance, and you could tell he would go the extra mile for you (would stay out later if we wanted, constantly checking livestreams/apps/websites for any information to increase our chances of being at the right place, drove us all the way back to the front of our cabin at 1:30am, etc.). We had luck on our side and managed to see the lights (even more than the uploaded photo) but the experience would’ve been wonderful nonetheless. In fact, we were planning another tour for the next night in the off chance that we wouldn’t see any, or if the lights weren’t great. We swiftly changed our minds after as it seemed unlikely that we would get a better experience. We are definitely ecstatic to be able to cross this off our bucket list, and Romain really took the whole event to an unexpected level.Written 18 September 2024

- mjjimenez0 contributionsKorouoma falls hiking excursionIt was a very pleasant excursion to Korouoma falls, in a very beautiful environment. Our guide, Romain, was very punctual, attentive and friendly. He gave us many explanations about the place and other interesting facts about Lapland. Many thanks!Written 23 August 2024
- 627anni0 contributionsWell organised, enjoyable, relaxed hike and BBQ with guide TokurWell organised tour, good communication with the tour company. Guide Tokur was great, patient with a slow walker, gave us plenty of time for photos. Snack along the way was very welcome. Encouraged another very hesitant couple to tag along with us on the walk. BBQ experience very enjoyable. August isn't the best time to visit as all vegetation is just green and the waterfalls aren't flowing. Autumn or winter would be much more interesting.Written 18 August 2024
- Passport288106747120 contributionsGreat!Last year our family went on an unforgettable journey on a reindeer tour. It was a real fairy tale, full of magic and amazing discoveries. We found ourselves among picturesque landscapes. The fresh scent of pine needles was in the air and the sound of nature was ringing. Returning home, we took with us not only vivid memories, but also a desire to return again to experience this magic of nature.Written 7 August 2024

Highly recommend!Written 5 August 2024

During the tour Mou took us to the best spot. He was very kind and helpful. He explained every detail about northern lights and took lots of photos. Thanks a lot to this team.Written 10 May 2024
- _A6048OL0 contributionsAmazing day in reindeers company!We really enjoyed our reindeer tour! We came in April, so it was warm and sunny. We were surprised that the riding in the sledge took quite much time, maybe 45 minutes, and we saw amazing forest views on the way, so it didn’t feel like a quick tourist attraction. After the ride we were offered nice local sweets with warm tea and we enjoyed it while the guide was telling us about reindeers and their farm lifestyle, which was very interesting and we could ask as many questions as we wanted. Then we fed and petted the local star - special reindeer Manu who likes to be touched. In the end guide made a little excursion around the farm and showed us all of their reindeers. The farm has a long history and follows the local traditions which are connected with nature in harmony. It will be one of the most exciting and cute experiences we had in Lapland. Reindeers are definitely will be my favourite animals!Written 21 April 2024
- Exploration884130 contributionsKorouoma Frozen Waterfalls with AldoThe frozen waterfalls was something we were very excited to see, and they didn't disappoint! Aldo was a wonderful guide, making sure we were all safe, especially along the slippier areas of the path, giving us advice when needed. He was a wealth of information on the area, telling us about the trees and vegetation, the waterfalls themselves and the history of the area. Ne gave us plenty of time to take in the breathtaking sights and to take photos, and was very obliging by taking photos of us all. He was patient and attentive. He provided us with snacks along the way and cooked sausages for us when we reached the barbeque area, it was just perfect. We brought marshmallows and other guests had other snacks, which we all shared. The journey to and from the park was fun, we were all included in conversations and got to know the other guests who were all lovely. Loads of good music too!! On the way home he asked if any of us were rushing back for another tour or booking, as we were all at leisure he suggested we stop off for a coffee in a quaint little coffee shop in another national park (the first place we came across was closed!) It was lovely to sit around and chat with everyone, the beauty of a small group. Thanks to ArcticGM and to Aldo for a wonderful tour and for all the special memories.Written 12 April 2024
- Exploration884130 contributionsWilderness Snowshoeing with SofianWe really enjoyed our snowshoeing adventure with Sofian. The park was beautiful, it was lovely to be surrounded by such beauty, freshly fallen snow, trees, wildlife, views, it had it all. Snowshoeing was new to us, and we had an option to rejoin the path anytime we wanted to. I found walking on the path made it easier to take in our surroundings. After a bit of a climb we reached a viewing point, with the most amazing views. We were lucky to be there on a lovely sunny days so we could see for miles in all directions. Sofian was very knowledgeable and informative. When we got back to the entrance area he cooked sausages for us on a kota grill, beautifully set beside the river. This gave us a chance to relax and chat with the other guests, and ask questions which Sofian answered with ease. Thanks to ArcticGM and Sofian for an unforgettable experience.Written 12 April 2024

We went to Rovaneimi for our honeymoon and really wanted to catch the northern lights, and we came across Arctic GM Experiences. From the time we booked the experience, Alex and his team were very hands on and proactive. The day after I booked, Alex reached out to me to give me information about the trip. Him and his team were happy to answer all my questions and help wherever they could.
The day of the tour looked cloudy during the day and there was only a 20-30% chance we would catch the lights. So in the morning, we received a message from Alex being transparent about the odds and offering us a cancellation.
We decided to take our chances and were allocated to Romain. That night, Romain picked us up right on time. He explained that his aim for the night was to find a place that was not cloudy because the rest of the parameters were in our favour. He drove us in a really comfortable car and we drove for maybe two hours before he found a gorgeous clear area to set up at. There were on clouds there. He had already tempered our expectations that we may have to wait till we are able to see the lights. He was also constantly tracking all the parameters to make sure we get the best experience.
As soon as he set up the cameras, he noticed that the lights had started flaring up…his excitement too was so infectious for all of us.
Once we got our fill of the lights and pictures, Romain took the time to explain how northern lights work and how so many factors go into the phenomenon.
What we saw was the best lights of the season, and that too before 10 pm. But that did not stop Romain who went ahead and took us along to look for more…the next stop was another half an hour away and we had to wait for maybe 10-15 minutes there before the lights came. Here, Romain offered us snacks and a warm beverage, which was really tasty.
We got loads of pictures in the second location also.
We were sent a link with the pictures two days later and they have come out so well.
I will forever be grateful to Romain, Alex and the Arctic GM team for such a wonderful experience.

I could not recommend this tour company enough! We booked for a Friday night. They called us and told us the viewing conditions were not optimal and recommended another day for the tour. We ended up going the next day and seeing the Northern Lights. People that we met on other tours said there tour company took them out on Friday night anyway even though they knew they wouldn’t see the NLs. Most tour companies aren’t as flexible as Artic GM. Also, most companies won’t drive you far enough away to reach clear skies. On Saturday when we ended up seeing them, they drove us over an hour and a half away next to the Sweden border as that is where the clear skies were. They let us stay out looking at the northern lights as long as we wanted and we were able to see a beautiful display. Our guide Anita was the best. She took a ton of photos with their professional DSLR camera which we received within 2 days time. On the ride home, our guide Anita spotted the northern lights several times and pulled over so we could see them. One of these stops we got to see the northern lights dance with all the colors. We would have missed this amazing display if she did not stop. If you want the best odds of seeing the Northern Lights, book with Artic GM and book for your first night of your trip. They have daily check ins where they review the conditions and will let you know the percentage of seeing the lights each day. If seeing the northern lights is important to you. Keep your nights flexible by booking other tours at night that can be cancelled within 24 hours so you can take this tour when you have a high likelihood of seeing the Northern Lights.

Right after I booked the tour online weeks ago from far away, I was contacted by their CS on WhatsApp and kept informed all the way on what to expect. I could also ask questions and almost received instant reply during their office hours. On the day of the tour, I was provided timely update on the chance to see northern lights and given options to take the tour or opt out with full refund given the likelihood of seeing northern lights on that particular day. We deferred to joining the tour on the next day and were so glad we did. We were fortunate to have Romain as our tour guide and photographer. He was so passionate, knowledgeable and experienced guiding us to drop off at the perfect spot after driving on for an hour or so, and upon arriving, we saw a fantastic show of northern lights for the next 30 mins. We stayed there for hours later as it just kept coming but for a lesser extent. On our way back, Romain didn't give up and made two more stops giving us the chance to see more, though most of us in the van seemed a little tired already. I was told we had the best of luck seeing the once-in-a-session show of northern lights that night. Overall, I was very pleased with joining this tour, told many of my family members and friends about it, and won't hesitate to recommend anyone keen to see northern light to join this tour.

Felix picked us up at the arranged time and took us in a comfortable minibus giving us confident assurance that we would see the Northern Lights. We ended up in Sweden. The first stop we saw the lights rising and got some photos, We travelled on after half an hour and then Felix suddenly stopped and we experience a wonderful display. We travelled on and had yet another great show. This company keeps their promises All in all we were out for 9 hours but worth every second. There were other people on this trip who had paid out for other trips and seen nothing We strongly recommend this trip

Our experience was absolutely MAGICAL! Our guide Mou did his best find the auoras even though the weather conditions were not the best. He is not only a very kind person, he is a professional aurora hunter and photographer, he takes the most beautiful photos ever, very sharp and great composition. He also helps you to set up your camera which is amazing cause you can also take your own photos. I definitely recommend them as my family and I were very happy with the tour! We appreciate so much the fact that they really care that customers see the auroras and they even let you know in advance if the conditions are good for auroras and if they are not they give you the possibility to get a full refund. I would rate my experience 10/10 cause it was even better than expected! I absolutely recommend you to take a tour like this rather than one with campfire where you settle in a place, there’s less chances to see the auroras this way. Thank you so much Mou and Arctic GM Experiences, we will definitely come back!

ArcticGM provided great tours on a recent trip to Rovaniemi. I was very impressed and appreciative of all the employees that I dealt with. Alex, Diane, and Nina were all wonderful in quickly answering any and all questions, concerns, or confirmations whether by text or email. I very much appreciated the honesty and transparency of this company when we were notified each day of the chances of seeing the Lights, and then given the opportunity to make the decision to go or not go. I am impressed with the company’s mission to give their clients the best chance of seeing the Aurora, by providing flexible start times, longer tours, and greater range of area… they are truly Aurora Hunters! I spent 6 nights in Tromso in February 2023 and unfortunately saw nothing but clouds. I signed up for several Northern Lights tours and ended up only going out twice. On both tours, we left at a fixed time, stayed out for a fixed time, drove around for a while, and then spent some time shivering around a campfire. Having nothing to compare this too, I thought it was a decent tour. However, after my tours this year with ArcticGM, I realize how poor those tours were and just how good their tours are. Unfortunately, anyone who goes out for the first time and uses this company will not know just how good they are without having another company to compare with.
Tokur was our outstanding guide for the tours we went out on. I can’t say enough good things about him. He was friendly, fun, and knowledgeable. He was courteous and safety-minded. Most of all, he is a BEAST when it comes to Aurora hunting. He went to great lengths to find the Lights and also get us away from any crowds so we could have a more personal experience. He genuinely seemed to have a good time taking pictures and seeing us all so happy and excited. This man was DETERMINED to find the Aurora if there was any chance, and he is definitely an asset to the company.
Another person I want to mention is Chevo. He is another guide on the Northern Lights tours. I was with my sister, and since we had a car, we decided to go out hunting on our own one night. As Fate would have it, we had the good fortune to meet Chevo at an open area that we happened to come upon. Armed with only our cell phones for a camera, we were unable to get very good pictures of the Aurora that we saw that night. When asked, Chevo graciously took some pictures of us and emailed them to us. Besides, the wonderful pictures we got, we met a really nice person who gave us lasting memories of that night. He is an asset and a great ambassador for this company.
In closing, I don’t know what the other companies in town are like, but I highly recommend ArcticGM if your Aurora hunting brings you to Rovaniemi!

The views were amazing, out tour guy stopped exactly at the right time, taking many many pictures for us and made sure we go at the right day, when they were visible. On the way back to the hotel, there was another stop, just because they were visible and we took our time and enjoy the view.
The communication with the Customer service was very good and we recommend these guys for anyone interested in this tour.

Happy we chose this tour. They really went the extra mile to ensure we had a satisfactory viewing of the lights. We got to one spot and saw them, but they weren’t satisfied, so they waited til the lights came out stronger, so we could see them better. I think not many tours would do that, which we really appreciated. All in all, despite costing a bit more than the other options available, I would say going with this tour is worth the money if you are intent on seeing the northern lights without distractions of tourist trap tours who whisk you around quickly and are just looking to make money. Would definitely recommend!

Wow, when they say guarantee they really mean it. We drove around to find the perfect conditions and we finally got to see a stunning display! The team were v professional and kept in contact constantly via whatsapp, they even changed the time of the booking on the day (with plenty of notice) to increase our chances of seeing the lights. Highly recommend.

I stayed in Rovaniemi for 5 days to see the aurora borealis, which was my dream, and I took three aurora tours with different companies, but this one was the best. While there are many inexpensive companies that stay in one place and have time limits, this company moves flexibly depending on the weather and will guide you for hours until you are satisfied with the results. They are a group of craftsmen who search for the aurora borealis. In the end, I was the one who succumbed to the cold and sleepiness, but thanks to that, I was able to see a very beautiful aurora. It's more expensive and the time commitment is longer than other companies, but if you're traveling to see the aurora borealis, you should definitely order here.
