Northern Lights Guaranteed Tour with 100% Refund: Option Prices by Date
Source: GetYourGuide listings, checked 6 Oct 2026. Bus and small group per person, private per group. "—" = the 21 Oct check returned prices in USD; we do not convert currencies. The small group costs €70 more per person than the bus and adds about 3 hours; the listing recommends it for "higher flexibility and success rate". The private hunt at €1,890 per group equals about nine small-group seats at €209; the listing does not state the private group size, so it buys pace and privacy rather than a discount.

Northern Lights Guaranteed Tour vs Other Guaranteed Chases
Source: GetYourGuide listing "from" prices, checked 6 Oct 2026 — October rates, not winter quotes. In winter the closest rival is the aurora hunt with local guides: same ★ 4.84 and same subratings, but €119 by bus and €169–189 in a small group on our dates — €20–40 less per person than here.
Good to Know Before the Northern Lights Guaranteed Tour

- The listing warns the aurora may look stronger in photos than to the eye.
- English is the only guaranteed language; Finnish and Spanish are also listed.
- Overalls and boots are handed out "if needed" — ask when you check in.
- Not suitable for wheelchair users, visually impaired people, babies under 1 and people over 95.
- One September 2026 reviewer could not find the start point because the address led elsewhere — save the office address, Koskikatu 22, offline.
