We monitor the forecast to find the best location, even if it means heading to Finland. At the viewing spot, enjoy hot drinks, snacks, and, if possible, a bonfire (weather-dependent). Thermal suits are available to keep you warm.
Your guide will take professional photos of you with the Northern Lights. Photos are uploaded the next day with a watermark (removed upon purchase).
