Wild About Lapland runs northern lights evenings that sit between a chase and a campfire night: a small group of up to 8 guests, up to three viewing spots and a campfire in the wilderness, with warm clothing included. The standard tour has no guarantee. You can add one as an option when booking, and that choice is the one to think about, as the reviews below show.

With or without the guarantee option

Without the option, the tour runs as a wilderness evening. Whatever the sky does, there is no refund promise. With the option, two things change: the tour is postponed or cancelled with a full refund if conditions look poor, and you are refunded if no aurora is captured on camera. Two critical reviews make the difference concrete. One guest had an evening of rain and snow and would have preferred a cancellation or a new date; another advises choosing an activity with a guarantee before booking. Both situations are what the option is designed for.

The wilderness tour and the family tour

The small-group wilderness tour takes about four hours: out of town, up to three spots, campfire, warm clothing included. Reviewers describe a spot overlooking a frozen lake, guides who move quickly between locations, and a transfer of around fifty minutes on one night. The family tour is shorter, at three hours, and carries the same guarantee option. One reviewer took their children on the standard wilderness tour and describes the guide as very accommodating. The family tour is the version designed for it. Child ages and rates are on the product page.

For whom Wild About Lapland is the right choice

Good fit if…

  • you want a small group and a campfire rather than a long van chase
  • you travel with children and want a shorter evening
  • you are in Rovaniemi in autumn, as the wilderness tour runs before the snow, with later departures than in mid-winter

Not ideal if…

  • you want a refund rule without thinking about options: a guaranteed chase includes it
  • you want the guides to drive as far as it takes: BookLapland drives up to 200 km
Before booking Wild About Lapland
  • If you want the guarantee, select the option when you book.
  • Without the option, a rainy or snowy evening still runs.
  • Warm clothing is included on the wilderness tour; check the inclusions on the family tour.

Guests on the Wild About Lapland evenings

Reviewers describe small groups, beautiful spots and flexible guides. The critical voices are about weather evenings without a guarantee, which is the situation the guarantee option addresses.

“We ended up being the only ones on our tour but the 2 ladies were absolutely amazing. We went to the most gorgeous spot which overlooked a frozen lake. … The ladies then started a lovely campfire. Transport took about 50 minutes and was very comfortable.”
Georgia · United Kingdom · April 2026 Small-group wilderness tour · Wild About Lapland
“Our guide, Patrick, was so great. He found us the perfect spot to see the light show, was very patient in finding that spot, and we all got some amazing photos. … The tour group was small and the tour was very well organised.”
Sorcha · Ireland · January 2026 Small-group wilderness tour · Wild About Lapland
“… Our tour guide Jeremy was great and flexible, pivoting quickly to find spots to view the lights, everywhere! He was also super friendly and accommodating to my kids even though the tour we chose is not the "family friendly version" one …”
Ling · Singapore · December 2025 Small-group wilderness tour · Wild About Lapland
“Despite the guide's kindness and helpfulness, unfortunately, we had a bad evening with rain and snow. Perhaps it would have been more honest to cancel and refund us or reschedule for the next day, given the weather conditions. …”

“… Before booking, I strongly advise you to consider the weather conditions and choose an activity with a guarantee. …”
