About this experience

Join us for a private luxury Aurora tour created exclusively for your group. Travel in comfort in our Mercedes Benz minibus and head deep into the Lapland wilderness in search of the dancing Northern Lights.

Your guides have Sámi backgrounds or deep family roots in this region, carrying with them generations of knowledge, stories, and traditions. As you wait for the auroras to appear, you will hear fascinating facts, local history, and old folktales passed down through families to bring the northern skies to life in an authentic way.

Around the warmth of an open fire, enjoy gourmet Finnish snacks, fresh cinnamon buns, and coffee brewed traditionally over the flames. Your guide will capture professional photos of you and the Northern Lights so you can take home lasting memories of this unforgettable night.
