The Northern Lights Tour is a hunting experience. To go into the dark, frozen winter night and observe an unbelievable display of color, light, and texture, is like waking up in a fairy-tale, full of mystery and magic.

We begin our Northern Lights hunt with a drive out to the countryside or up to the mountains, away from electric glow and city sounds. You will be able to enjoy the beautiful night sky in the best possible situation, of course depending on the weather.

The Northern Lights, or the Aurora Borealis, are a natural phenomenon visible in the Northern Hemisphere. A unique display of light is caused by a particle collision in the magnetic field of the polar cap.

Our goal is not only to find the right sights for the best photograph but also to take our time to enjoy this fragile single moment that will never come again but you might remember for the rest of your life.

Great knowledgeable guide and would recommend company for their proactive approach to make sure we saw the northern lights. We were contacted the day before our tour was booked for asking if we could do that evening instead as the weather forecast for the following day was not good. They also changed our pickup location so we could stick with our dinner plans. Lots of help making sure we got the best photos of our experience.

They kept on trying, booked for first night and finally went out on third night with very knowledgable guide who did find us some northern lights to look at and gave iphone photography tips, hot choclate and blankets, it was -10+ with a wind.
The tour guide was the best

Even though the weather wasn’t the best, our guide drove us to the best places, you could really tell that they have a lot of knowledge and passion for this sort of tours. The guide was well prepared, watching the forecast, stoping to see where there weren’t any clouds and was communicating with people from different locations so that we could find the perfect spot. The van was also really nice, we enjoyet the bumpy ride. We had a lot of fun and will probably do it again! :)
