Aurora Holidays – Authentic Arctic Adventures in Utsjoki
When I first discovered Aurora Holidays, I was instantly drawn to the warmth and personality behind the business. Tiina, the owner, has a genuine, easy-going nature that immediately puts you at ease – you can tell she’s someone who truly cares about her guests. Her goal isn’t just to fill rooms or sell tours; it’s to make sure every single person who visits Utsjoki leaves with a full heart and unforgettable memories.
What makes Aurora Holidays so special is the way they tailor each experience. Rather than running on strict itineraries, Tiina and her team plan activities around the conditions at the time – whether that means chasing the Northern Lights under a clear Arctic sky, visiting reindeer farms, crossing into Norway for a scenic drive, or enjoying local culture by the fire. Every stay feels personal and flexible, ensuring guests get the most out of their time in the far north.

Located in Utsjoki, deep in Finnish Lapland and just steps from the Norwegian border, Aurora Holidays offers travellers a chance to experience one of the most authentic and remote corners of the Arctic. The Northern Lights here will literally take your breath away – with little light pollution, guests often witness vivid displays right from their doorstep. Beyond the auroras, the area is rich in Sámi culture, rugged wilderness and the peaceful rhythm of Arctic life.
Aurora Holidays offers a unique package that make planning simple – including accommodation, meals and guided activities – so all you need to do is arrive, relax, and let the team take care of the rest. The restaurant caters for all dietary requirements when notified in advance. Whether you’re travelling solo, as a couple, with a group of friends or with family, it’s the kind of place that feels like home the moment you arrive.
