Kemi: Northern Lights Aurora Tour

Kemi, located along the edge of the Arctic Circle, is one of Finland’s best destinations to experience the Northern Lights. This guided Aurora Tour takes you away from the town and deep into the surrounding wilderness, where the skies are clear, dark, and perfect for spotting the aurora. Every night offers a new adventure, with the Northern Lights often appearing in stunning shades of green, pink, and violet as they ripple across the horizon.

Your evening begins when you meet your friendly local guide, who will provide you with warm thermal clothing and all the essentials needed for a comfortable night outdoors. After a short transfer, you’ll arrive at an ideal viewing location — a secluded spot chosen for its lack of light pollution and wide-open skies. Along the way, your guide will share fascinating stories about the legends and myths surrounding the Aurora Borealis, as well as the scientific explanation behind this spectacular natural phenomenon.

Once you’ve arrived, it’s time to relax and enjoy the magical Arctic setting. A crackling fire will be prepared to keep you warm, and you’ll be invited to gather around while enjoying hot drinks and traditional Finnish snacks. As you wait for the aurora to appear, you’ll have the chance to take in the stillness of Lapland’s snow-covered landscapes. On a clear night, the starry skies themselves are awe-inspiring — and when the Northern Lights emerge, the experience is nothing short of unforgettable.

Your guide will also be happy to help with photography tips, ensuring you capture this once-in-a-lifetime spectacle on camera. Whether the aurora dances brightly or shows itself in softer waves, the memory of standing beneath the Arctic sky will remain with you forever.

This tour is designed to be accessible to everyone, from families with children to couples looking for a romantic evening, or solo travellers seeking a peaceful encounter with nature. With professional guidance, warm refreshments, and the best possible chances of seeing the aurora, this is one of the most rewarding ways to experience Lapland’s natural magic.
