About this experience

Book your Northern Lights adventure and leave the rest to us!

With over 15 years of professional photography experience, we go beyond just chasing the aurora, we help you capture it beautifully. Our tours are led by an expert who understands Arctic weather, solar activity, and how to time each outing for the highest chances of success.

We offer flexible booking adjustments based on real-time weather and aurora forecasts. If conditions aren't favorable, we can reschedule (depending on availability) or cancel with a 100% refund.

If the camera can’t capture the aurora, we offer a Money-Back Guarantee, keeping only €50 per person to cover operational costs.

You book, and we’ll handle the rest, from tracking the skies to guiding your experience. That’s why our guests leave with memories and images they’ll treasure forever.

Tour durations range from 3-10 hours depending on weather and aurora activity.

Note: Videography may be provided depending on aurora intensity and visibility.
