1What the operator says
This Northern Lights hunt is your best opportunity to properly chase the precious aurora borealis and observe them. Because the trip is based on the weather forecasts and conditions, you will drive in the most promising directions, away from the light pollution of big towns and villages.
Your professional aurora hunter will also teach you about arctic nature, local lifestyle and northern lights to offer you a complete Lapland experience. The hunt is meant to be both educational and adventurous!
Pictures will be taken by your guide with their professional camera. It is a very useful tool to anticipate the apparition of auroras, find them and capture them!
