# Northern Lights Chase, Local Guide, Sámi, Campfire Meal & Photos

**Guidekin's take:** Follow the Northern Lights with a local Sámi guide on a route that may extend into Finland. Meals, hot drinks, photos and a thermal suit are included; bring your passport in case the chase crosses the border. 4.9 from 102 reviews at €163 per person for 5h–8h.

In our comparison: #23 of 52 in Northern Lights Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

This is a real Northern Lights chase, guided by a local Sámi/Norwegian with deep knowledge in this areas, and the route is decided on the day of the tour based on the latest weather, cloud cover and aurora forecasts.

To give our guests the best possible chance of seeing the Northern Lights, we may drive long distances and, when necessary, we can travel all the way to Finland if conditions are better there.

We also have access to several private viewing locations reserved exclusively for our guests. When conditions are good at these spots, we prefer to go there so our guests can enjoy a quieter experience, away from the crowds and other tour groups.

We make a campfire, grill sausages, and serve warm drinks such as hot chocolate or tea while waiting for the Northern Lights.

Please bring your passport, and dress warmly in winter clothing, including thermal layers, a hat, gloves and warm shoes. Return time can be late, so we recommend not booking early morning activities the next day.
