This 4-hour photo tour picks you up from your accommodation in the Saariselkä and Ivalo area of Finnish Lapland and heads out in search of the aurora in the November night sky. Each evening, the latest weather, cloud cover and aurora forecasts are used to find the best viewing spot of the day around Saariselkä, Ivalo and Lake Inari. Enjoy warm drinks and local snacks while listening to your guide's aurora stories, and receive photos taken by a professional photographer after the tour. The tour runs in a small group of up to 8 people.
After pickup from your accommodation in the Saariselkä and Ivalo area, head into the Arctic wilderness in search of the aurora. The route is chosen each evening based on the latest weather, cloud cover and aurora forecasts, and you visit the viewing spot with the best conditions of the day around Saariselkä, Ivalo and Lake Inari. The tour runs in a small group of up to 8 people with an English- and German-speaking guide.
At the viewing spot, spend about 3 hours taking photos and enjoying the scenery with coffee, tea and local snacks. Your guide shares stories and beliefs about the aurora from Lapland and cultures around the world. As autumn gives way to winter, you can see a quiet, peaceful Arctic landscape, and with luck you may even see the first snow.
A professional photographer captures special moments throughout the evening and shares the photos after the tour, so you can focus on searching for the aurora.
※ The aurora is a natural phenomenon, and sightings are not guaranteed.
