Overview

Mobile ticket
Budget-Friendly Northern Lights Chase – Offers an affordable way to hunt for the Northern Lights while maintaining comfort in a modern, heated bus.
Flexibility to Find Clear Skies – Our route adapts based on weather conditions, sometimes taking us inland, along the coast, or even into Finland to maximize the chances of seeing the aurora.
Transparency About Challenges – We prioritize finding clear skies over scenic locations due to increased road traffic. Stops may be alongside roads, but our goal is to provide the best possible view of the Northern Lights.
Comfort with Realistic Expectations – The bus offers warmth, though it may cool down on particularly cold nights. Guests are encouraged to dress in warm layers for added comfort.
Guided by Experts – Knowledgeable guides provide insights and help with photography, ensuring a memorable experience.

5.00We had the most fantastic time on this tour and still days later can't believe how good it was. We did not have high expectations for this time of year and felt incredibly lucky at the amazing light show we got to see - it was much more vivid and active than we could have hoped for. While of course 90% of it comes down to luck in terms of whether the activity will be visible on the evening you're out hunting the lights, the other 10% we felt was due to the great experience and knowledge of our guide Jefta who directed the bus to certain locations. Not only that but he had fantastic photography skills and took such great pictures for the whole group. I will be recommending this tour to everyone I know who is keen to try and see the lights. We're so grateful we did this, it was a once in a lifetime experience.
The Best
