Rovaniemi Aurora BBQ at Two Viewing Spots with a Traditional Kota
Two observation spots in one evening, with the route passing Santa Claus Village and the Arctic Circle line on the way out. The first stop is by an Arctic lake with forest behind it, and the guide uses it to explain what the aurora is before anyone starts asking. The second is the barbecue site, out in open country, where the fire is inside a traditional kota. Local berry tea and Lappish sausages come with the waiting. The kota is what makes the waiting possible: a fire in the middle, walls around it, and the door open to the sky.

Santa Claus Village
The evening starts at the meeting point, where you change into winter clothing before the 20:00 pickup. The guide drives to two different aurora spots. The first sits beside an Arctic lake with forest around it, and comes with an introduction to what you are looking for and why. After a short stay, the drive continues to the BBQ site out in the wild, where the group sits inside a traditional kota with a bonfire, hot tea and Lappish sausages. With luck the aurora starts moving overhead while you are eating. Good to know: the whole thing runs 3.5 hours, 20:00 to 23:30 including travel; arrive at the meeting point at 19:45 to collect winter clothing.
