Feel the rush of hunting for the Northern Lights

Our Northern Lights tour is all about giving you the best chance to witness this breathtaking phenomenon. We don’t stick to one spot—we chase the auroras wherever the conditions are best, even if it means crossing into Sweden or traveling deep into the Arctic wilderness.
Your guide will take you through stunning landscapes, from frozen lakes to remote forests, far from city lights. Along the way, enjoy warm drinks and light snacks as you wait for the sky to come alive. No rush, no fixed routes—just a true Northern Lights adventure.

Small group makes a big difference

We invite you to take your camera with you (you can rent or buy a tripod from us if you wish) to capture the Northern Lights. In all cases, your guide will be equipped with a professional camera and will take many pictures for you, of you and the Northern Lights. A link to download all the pictures will be sent to you the next day.

On all our excursions, our groups are limited to 8 people maximum. This tour is for children aged 5 years old and upwards. It is very important for us 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. Furthermore, when it comes to the Northern Lights, chances to observe them properly are increased when groups (and light pollution emitted by torches, phones, cameras, etc.) are reduced. As we usually say – the smaller the group, the bigger the experience!

About our Northern Lights Tours

We tailor each Northern Lights tour every night based on our clients’ abilities, weather conditions, and the Northern Lights forecast. Your guide will teach you about the Aurora Borealis and show you how to make a fire and cook food over it. For those who want a deeper understanding of their surroundings, we offer detailed explanations of the Northern Lights, local wildlife, and the wilderness.

We drive away from the city to find the best spot that offers the highest chances of seeing the Northern Lights that night. We also choose a warm area to sit and wait for the Aurora Borealis to appear. The more time we spend outside, the higher our chances of witnessing the Northern Lights.

We hope you get to see the incredible shapes and colors of the Aurora during your stay, and we will do everything we can to maximize your chances.

Timings

Tour departure times depend on the season and the Aurora forecast. In the middle of winter, we usually leave between 19:00 and 22:00 every evening, depending on the month. You will receive the exact meeting time via e-mail.

Large family/friend groups

If your group is larger than our usual size, don’t worry! We can customize a private tour for your group and offer a larger discount – the bigger the group, the greater the discount.
