The Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, are one of nature’s most mesmerizing spectacles, painting the Arctic sky in swirling shades of green, purple, and blue. This guided Aurora Borealis Night Tour takes you deep into Lapland’s remote wilderness, away from city lights, where the sky is at its clearest. The journey begins at dusk, with guests traveling by snowmobile, reindeer sleigh, or heated minivan to the best vantage points. Once there, you’ll step out into the silent, snow-covered landscape, where the only sound is the crunch of your boots on fresh snow.
Chasing the Northern Lights!
Your guide will explain the science and mythology behind the auroras, as you sip on hot berry juice by an open fire. Some nights, the lights explode in vivid ribbons of color, while other nights, they dance faintly in the distance. Either way, witnessing this celestial phenomenon is an unforgettable, almost spiritual experience. Many tours also include professional photography, so you can take home a high-quality image of yourself under the Northern Lights.
