About this experience
Share the magic of Lapland’s Arctic night on a private Aurora Hunt for families or groups. This 6-hour adventure from Levi takes you deep into the Finnish wilderness, far from town lights, to witness the Northern Lights in a peaceful, personal setting.
Your private guide follows real-time aurora forecast and local weather to choose the best spot. Along the way, learn about Lapland’s nature and Arctic life, enjoy a hot meal, biscuits, hot chocolate, and hear stories under the starry sky. Thermal suits, boots, tripod, and professional photos are included to capture memories.
Suitable for ages four and up, families can bring their own children’s car seats and thermal gear. Travel comfortably by private minivan through frozen lakes and snow-covered forests where the aurora often dances above.
To enjoy Levi to the fullest, we suggest renting thermal clothing during your whole stay, both for safety and comfort, as temperatures sometimes drop below -30. You can rent them at a local shop.
