Northern Lights Hunting in Lapland

What to Expect:

Our partner guides offer exceptional Northern Lights tours by van. They use their in-depth local knowledge and up-to-date weather forecasts to find the best spots for viewing the auroras. If skies are cloudy in one location, your guide will drive further into the wilderness, continually seeking the clearest skies to optimize your chances of experiencing the Northern Lights. Tours typically last between 3 to 6 hours and may involve traveling to multiple locations to find the perfect viewing conditions. This dynamic approach offers the best opportunity to see the auroras but can be more physically demanding than a standard tour.

The Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon, and sightings depend on various unpredictable factors. The guides are skilled at reading the conditions and will use their expertise to increase your chances of seeing the lights. However, it's important to set realistic expectations: even on a clear night, the Northern Lights might not appear, as they do not follow a fixed schedule. When they do appear, they can range from a soft white glow to brilliant colors, which are often more vivid when captured on camera. The guides will ensure you don’t miss even the smallest activity in the sky, helping you understand and appreciate what you are witnessing.

Adventure and Flexibility:

For those seeking a more personalized experience, the Northern Lights hunts can be arranged as a private tour, offering flexibility and customization to suit your specific needs. This option is particularly recommended for families with young children or those looking for an exclusive adventure. By opting for a private tour, you can enjoy a tailored itinerary that maximizes comfort and caters to the unique preferences of your group. Whether you choose a group tour or a private experience, the Northern Lights hunt is a must-do for anyone visiting Lapland, offering the best chance to witness this extraordinary natural spectacle.
