Aurora hunting means taking a bus to various lakeside or roadside parking areas to wait for the appearance of the Northern Lights. The advantage of this activity is that the photography backgrounds vary, and in overcast conditions, one can increase their chances of witnessing the Aurora by heading to areas with thinner clouds. However, the disadvantage is that passing vehicle headlights can cause significant light pollution. Additionally, the cold winter temperatures, small bus space, low temperatures, and lack of restroom facilities can make the experience uncomfortable. Our Aurora lodge with huge space for spreading out your stuff, warm stove, snacks and hot drinks whenever you want plus hotdogs at midnight.

    Outstanding tour - if your Chinese, Guides were enthusiastic and attentive, but there was a language barrier. Still, they did an excellent job of hunting down and showing us the aurora which included driving to the ends of the earth. First night was too cloudy to see anything, second night saw the aurora but it was muted by clouds, even at the end of the earth. Third night hit the jackpot. Sky was crystal clear. You could see every star in the sky. About midnight the aurora showed. Curtains of color draped across the sky and brightened and dimmed as the aurora faded in and out. Awesome sight. Guide took pictures as it required a timed exposure to capture the aurora.

    Getting to see the Northern lights two out of three nights. Staying at the Aurora lodge having hot cocoa biscuits in front of fire. Then going outside and seeing the wonder of the lights. Our guide Cindi was excellent she included us by switching to English after speaking mandarin to others. Tony our driver was excellent as well gave us a lot of local knowledge
