This tour is designed to maximize your chances of seeing the Northern Lights in Lapland by going wherever the skies are clearest — even up to 200 km from Levi center, if needed.
You’ll travel in a comfortable minivan with an experienced local driver, fully equipped to follow the best weather conditions and real-time forecasts. The goal: to reach remote locations with minimal light pollution and unobstructed views of the northern sky — ideal for aurora viewing and photography.
Warm winter clothing suitable for Arctic weather is provided, so you can enjoy the experience without worrying about the cold.
Clouds can make aurora sightings difficult, but our local expertise helps us read the conditions. Cloud layers can vary in thickness, and wind can shift cloud cover rapidly — even on a cloudy night, there is still a chance to catch a glimpse of the aurora through breaks or even thin layers of cloud. Our team combines weather knowledge, patience, and determination to give you the best possible chance of witnessing the Lights.
To help you capture the magic, your driver will bring a professional camera and tripod and take photos of you with the Northern Lights whenever possible. All photos will be processed the next day and delivered via a download link. We also provide free use of phone holders and camera tripods to guests who want to take their own pictures.
During stopovers, enjoy a warm drink and gingerbread cookies under the Arctic sky — a comforting moment in the stillness of Lapland’s wilderness.
This is our most dedicated Northern Lights hunting tour, created for travelers who are ready to go the distance — and with a Northern Lights guarantee:
If the Northern Lights are not seen at all, you will receive a 70% refund of the tour price*.

This is in line with standard international aurora tour guidelines.
The intensity and clarity of the Northern Lights can vary based on atmospheric activity and viewing conditions. Our guide uses professional photography equipment to maximize visibility and help document the experience. You’ll receive the edited photos the next day via download link.
