Admire the legendary Northern Lights immersed in a wild and pristine environment, and learn to photograph them like a true professional!
Our approach sets aside the comforts of resorts in favor of a more authentic experience, in close contact with the cold and hostile Arctic environment. Don't worry: we will provide you with everything you need to face the extreme temperatures safely.
Years of field experience allow us to spot the Auroras even on the most challenging nights. Admiring the legendary Northern Lights is not as simple as one might think. They are often difficult to see, or the view is obscured by bad weather. You won't have to worry about any of this during our tours: with us, you will maximize your chances of seeing them.
Additionally, we are professional photographers specializing in night photography, so we can ensure that the photos you take home will be absolutely incredible.

Best experience I ever had in a viator tour. Milko is very professional and knows a lot about northen lights and the area so if you want the best chances to see the northen lights you need to Mirko and Milvia as your tour guides. He also helped me out setting up my camara settings to take the most amazing pictures of the northen lights, and I am very grateful for this.

Mirko and Milvia were great. It was just me so I’m very appreciative that they didn’t cancel. A lot of scientific information was shared about the northern lights. We found a great spot outside Alta. We were very fortunate as the skies cleared up for us. The tomato soup and hot chocolate were just what I needed on a cold night. Highly recommend!

This was the best choice for finding the perfect Aurora for us as first timers. Some reasons why this tour was so amazing 1. Our guide Mirko was a professional photographer and helped us take some amazing pictures (with our own cameras) and also took such cool shots of me and my husband 2. He knew all the cool spots to find the best pictures of Aurora 3. He had such nice stories to tell and when we were waiting between Aurora sessions he showed us so many constellations in the sky and explained the science behind Aurora 4. We were in a small group of 3 people 5. He even dropped us to our parking location 6. The hot soup and hot chocolate + camp fire was very cozy Overall great experience for first timers. Highly recommend!
