Northern Lights Hunting Expedition in Ranua, Lapland, Max 8 People

Ranua sits south of Rovaniemi and gets a fraction of its traffic, which is the practical argument for hunting from here: fewer vehicles at the same pull-offs. The guide is local and works from weather and aurora maps rather than instinct, and the expedition runs anywhere from 4 to 8 hours, because a fixed end time is what makes people miss the display. Warm drinks and snacks come along. Photographs are taken with a professional camera. The group is capped at 8 participants.
