Winter overalls, tripods, homemade soup, hot drinks and social media photos are included; print-quality versions cost extra. 4.93 from 143 reviews at €214 per person for 6h–8h. In our comparison: #13 of 52 in Northern Lights Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview 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!
