Hiking to search for northernlights in Autumn<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/h1>\n
\n

Embark on an unforgettable adventure with Ruka Safaris as we take you on a guided hike through the enchanting wilderness of Northern Finland in search of the magical Northern Lights.<\/p>\n

October is a prime time for aurora viewing, as the crisp autumn air and darkening skies provide ideal conditions for witnessing this natural phenomenon. This experience combines the serenity of nature with the thrill of chasing the elusive aurora borealis, all under the guidance of our expert local guides.<\/p>\n

Our experienced guides will share fascinating insights into the science behind the Northern Lights on this 3 hour walk through the forest. You will receive rain boots and coats if needed.<\/p>\n

Along the way the guide will serve a hot drink and snack. Walking distance is approximately 3 till 4 km through dense forest.<\/p>\n
