What begins as solar winds from the sun striking against the magnetic field of our planet quickly transforms into ribbons of white and green, sometimes even red and purple that shine through the sky. Sometimes the effect is subtle, just a flicker of light against the dark while it can be a full orchestra of colors.
Join us on a northern light hunt experience by mini-bus and our experienced guides will do their level best to hunt down the lights and create special memories for you. The tour will take about 2,5 hours and you will be taken to different locations by our guide to have the best possibilities to spot the northern lights. The night will be completed with interesting stories by the fire with some hot drinks and sweet pastries.
October is a prime time for aurora viewing, as the crisp autumn air and darkening skies provide ideal conditions for witnessing this natural phenomenon.
Please note: Northern lights sightings cannot be guaranteed because they are subject to weather conditions and solar activity.
