About this activity

Northern Lights in Focus is a small-group journey into the Arctic night, guided by people who live here and know how to read it.

We leave the city behind and head into the wilderness, following weather forecasts, local knowledge, and real-time conditions to find the best possible place to experience the Northern Lights. There is no fixed route — every chase is shaped by clouds, light, and the Arctic itself.

To keep you warm, insulated winter overalls are provided. During the night, we gather around a small campfire to enjoy a homemade meal, hot drinks, and a sweet treat.

Your guide will capture portraits and aurora shots throughout the night. Free social media quality pictures are included, and print-quality versions are available for purchase.‍

Whether the lights are strong or subtle, this is about sharing a real Arctic night together!

IMPORTANT: If you choose the Spanish tour, please contact us in advance to confirm guide availability.
