Go beyond simply seeing the Northern Lights. Discover the science and stories behind the Aurora, explore Arctic landscapes and take home professional photographs—all in a small group of max. 8 guests.

With our Sony Alpha camera and wide-angle Sigma lens, we'll capture beautiful portraits of your Arctic night. Your photos are included, selected, edited when needed and delivered digitally within 24 hours.

Together, we'll check Aurora and weather forecasts to choose our route, whether through snowy forests near Saariselkä, quiet corners of Ivalo or the open landscapes of Lake Inari.

Along the way, discover how the Northern Lights form, why they change color and what makes them unpredictable. Enjoy the Arctic silence, a short walk in nature, a hot drink and homemade Finnish cake.

Whether the Auroras appear or not, you'll leave with new knowledge, shared memories and a deeper connection to Lapland.

Northern Lights sightings are never guaranteed; professional photos are always included.

    Our Arctic Night Experience begins with a look at the latest Aurora and weather forecasts. Together, we'll explore the conditions and decide which direction to take before heading into nature around Saariselkä, Ivalo or Lake Inari. Along the way, we'll discover the science and stories behind the Northern Lights, enjoy a warm drink and homemade cake, and help you capture beautiful memories with your phone or camera.
