What to expect on a Northern Lights tour?
If you have local knowledge of the area and carefully follow the weather reports, there is nothing to stop you from seeking out the Northern Lights. However, most people feel more comfortable and confident taking trips to see aurora borealis on an official guided tour. Here’s what you can expect on one of our Scandinavian Travel Group tours:
- 1. It gets cold at night!! The best Northern Lights in Levi Lapland tend to occur over the winter months when the nights are longer and darker. You will be outside in sub-zero temperatures in the dark so you must wear appropriate clothing.
- 2. Your guide has fascinating stories to tell. Take advantage of your guide’s local knowledge and discover more about the Lights and the folklore of the area. It adds to the sense of the occasion.
- 3. The weather forecast is key to the success of your tour. You need a clear night sky to maximise your chances of seeing the lights.
- 4. On a guided tour you will be taken to places that offer an unobstructed view of the sky and minimum light pollution.
- 5. It is a waiting game. You will be waiting around so it is important to pick a tour that gives the option of shelter should you need a place to warm up while you wait. For example, on our Polarman’s camp tour, you can warm up inside.
Levi is the right choice to optimise your chances of seeing the lights. Your guide will take you enough distance away from the centre of Levi to ensure no artificial light pollution will spoil the natural display of northern lights. The length of the tour depends on which one you choose. Some are 2 hours long while other tours take around 3 hours.
