What to expect?
Experience the delightful beauty of the Midnight Sun. The pure and untouched landscapes of the Arctic are highlighted by fantastic natural phenomena all year round.From Autumn to Spring, the famous Northern Lights draw their green and red arches across the starry skies. In summer, you'll witness the Midnight Sun as it never sets and shines all day and all night. After a long dark winter with snow on the ground for over six months, the land, vegetation, and animals finally have an opportunity to replenish their energy levels and relax with the abundance of life that the 24-hour sun brings with it.
Depending on your physical ability, your experienced outdoor guide will take you to a hilltop, lakeside shores, or riverbanks to enjoy the spectacular warm lights of the never-setting sun, with some typical Finnish snack cooked on an open fire.
This is a good moment for your guide to show you how to build and light a fire (without matches or lighter) using flint and steel. They will also explain to you more about Lapland, life in the Arctic, and the phenomenon of the Midnight Sun in relation to the Arctic Circle, where Rovaniemi is located.
This tour is intended to be relaxing and educative. Your guide will happily share their knowledge and passion with you and will answer all your questions. So feel free to ask anything.
The Midnight Sun may also offer you some other incredible atmospheric optical phenomena to observe, such as sundogs, which are circumzenithal arcs and other halos created by the sun.
The Midnight Sun phenomenon and its warm rays are an excellent opportunity for those of you who are photography enthusiasts, so do not forget to bring your camera along to capture the beautiful colours of nature.
In all the team's excursions, the groups are limited to 8 travellers maximum. It is essential for them to provide you with the best experience possible and avoid mass tourism. This way, your guide will know you better and will be able to address all your needs and answer your questions. As they usually say: the smaller the group, the bigger the experience!
About the period of the Midnight Sun in Rovaniemi:
The Midnight Sun is a natural phenomenon that takes place on and above the Arctic Circle in the summer months. On the Arctic Circle, where Rovaniemi lies, the sun officially stays above the horizon for a full 24 hours on the summer solstice, the 21st or 22nd of June.
However, the Midnight Sun period in Rovaniemi lasts for a month, from 6th June to 7th July, due to the Earth’s slightly tilted axis and refraction of sunlight. During the few weeks that precede or follow this period (end of May, early August), the sun is still visible very late and early in the night; it offers long sunsets/sunrises with beautiful warm twilight colours, even though it is no longer the so-called Midnight Sun period.
