At the beginning of the tour, your guide will analyze several weather forecasts in order to predict the best areas for chasing the Northern Lights. We will then set off aboard our capable 4x4 Toyota Land Cruiser until the right area is reached. Once there you will be provided with thermal suits, hand and foot warmers and if conditions allow/require, we may go for a walk or light hike in order to get to the most scenic locations and be ready to witness the Northern Lights.

About this tour, from the operator
Are you fit and confident in walking on ice and snow and want to reach the most scenic spots in a small, dynamic group?
Using a 4x4 Toyota Land Cruiser Arctic Truck, we will reach the best areas with suitable skies to chase the Aurora Borealis. If the weather conditions allow, we may set off on a light hike/snowshoeing walk, reaching pristine landscapes, calm fjords, frozen lakes and the best spots that the Arctic has to offer away from the tourism crowds.
Whether the ground will be covered in ice or snow, you will be provided with ice crampons or snow rackets, walking poles, thermal suits as well as foot and hand warmers. Remember to wear your own warm snow boots!
Your guide will take photos of you and the lights, but if you have a camera as well, bring it along! You'll get tips on how to take your own Aurora photographs and use a professional tripod.
A soup for dinner, cookies and hot drinks will warm us up in the wild, while enjoying the night Arctic sky!
Walking, children and accessibility
The operator's own notes, grouped by topic. Nothing here is added by Guidekin.
Walking and health

Not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health

You must be in good physical shape to walk on uneven terrain that will be snowy, icy, wet and slippery
Children
If you are travelling with kids younger than 13 or shorter than 150 cm - 59 inches please get in touch for a private tour option.
Accessibility
Public transportation options are available nearby
This tour is not suitable for elderly participants, people with any injury, sickness, movement disability, wheelchairs, walkers, crutches. It is an active tour.
Not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries
The vehicle used on tour is a lifted 4x4 off road truck with normal car seats, not a spacious van nor a minibus. Unfortunately, when at full capacity like on this tour, larger sized / very tall guests do not fit in it, as sometimes long drives are required to see the lights and adequate comfort must be guaranteed to every participant on tour. Please get in touch before booking if you are in doubt!
The Northern Lights Tour cannot have a specific duration. That is due to the natural conditions like weather and northern light activity, which cannot be predicted accurately; therefore, the tour can last from 5 to 9 hours, even though the average is around 6-7 hours.
This tour operates in all weather conditions, please dress appropriately. Make sure you wear warm and water resistant clothes and have an extra layer with you and boots that are suitable for winter and snow.
