About this tour
Enjoy the Northern Lights your way. On this private tour the minibus, driver and guide are only for your group — up to 18 people — so the evening follows your pace and wishes.
Every night we study the latest weather and aurora forecasts to choose the best direction for the chase, and we stay in contact with a network of local guides who share real-time aurora updates. That way we can react quickly and drive to where the lights are dancing.
Along the way we look for scenic spots for photos and atmosphere. When the weather allows, we light a cosy bonfire with a small snack and hot drinks under the stars. Your guide-photographer takes professional photos of you and the Arctic landscape, which you can download for free after the tour.

An Evening Only for Your Group
A private tour is ideal for proposals, anniversaries, family trips and photographers who want time to set up their shots.
Your guide adapts the plan to your group — more photo time, more time by the fire, or a longer chase.
Bonfire and Hot Drinks Under the Arctic Sky
When conditions allow, we light a bonfire and serve a small snack with coffee, tea or hot chocolate.
Thermal suits keep you warm while you wait for the aurora.
