Embark on an unforgettable journey to witness one of the most breathtaking natural phenomena on Earth—the Northern Lights. Your adventure begins with a pickup by our experienced guide, who will lead you through the Arctic wilderness in search of the perfect vantage points to view the auroras. As you drive through the serene landscape, you’ll visit several carefully selected
locations, each offering the best chances to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights dancing across the sky, surrounded by the beauty of frozen lakes and rivers.
During the tour, you’ll take a break to warm up around the fire and enjoy a BBQ: Featuring grilled sausages with hot juice.
Exclusive Advantage: You can choose to add an optional Aurora Guarantee Protection starting from €65 per adult or €55 per child when booking (high season price: €75 adults, €65 child). If no Northern Lights are seen during your tour, you will receive a full refund of your ticket (the insurance fee is non-refundable). You can also choose a free second Aurora tour instead of a refund, giving you another opportunity to see the Northern Lights. The Aurora Guarantee Protection can only be purchased up to 14 days before the tour departure and can only be added at the time of booking.
As an additional advantage, you can choose to add professional Northern Lights photos service for only €29 per group. There is no need to decide in advance: you can decide to purchase them after the tour. Photos are taken by our photographer only when the Northern Lights appear, ensuring you can decide to pay when there is something worth capturing.
The presence of the Northern Lights and refund eligibility are determined by our guide and supporting camera photos taken during the tour. Brief or weak appearances that are only visible by camera, but not clearly visible to the naked eye, do not qualify for a refund. If no Aurora Guarantee Protection is purchased, the Northern Lights cannot be guaranteed and no refund will be issued in case of no appearance. The free second tour option is subject to availability. If no alternative date is available, only the refund mentioned above will be granted. By completing the booking, you acknowledge and accept these terms.
Departure time: The tour departs anytime between 18:00 and 21:30, depending on weather conditions and forecasts. You will receive your exact pickup time on the same day of the tour via email or WhatsApp.
Cancellation Policy: The booking can be cancelled for free up to 3 days before departure. After that time a cancellation fee of 100% will apply.
Additional notes:
For groups with fewer than 5 participants, transportation may be arranged in a standard 5-seater vehicle instead of a minivan.
We aim to operate all tours as scheduled. In rare cases of low participation, we will offer an alternative date, experience, or full refund.

Your guide will take you to carefully selected spots, far from city lights, where the chances of seeing the aurora borealis are highest.
