Additional Information

Get picked up from your accommodation by a local guide with extensive knowledge of Lapland and the Auroras. Head out to hunt for the Northern Lights far away from the city’s light pollution and get dropped off back at your accommodation after the tour.

The tour happens only if the conditions are promising enough to see the Auroras. If we have to drive for longer to get to clear skies, we’ll leave earlier and in case of a shorter drive, we leave later. Departure time changes between 16:00 and 20:00 and the duration of the tour can take anywhere from 5 to 12 hours.

If for any reason you don’t get to see the Auroras during the tour despite the guide’s best efforts, your ticket price will be refunded in full and you can pay a voluntary fee to cover some basic costs such as fuel for the car - but only if you want to!

If a tour is unsuccessful or canceled altogether due to poor conditions, you can book a seat on a tour on the following days, based on availability.

  • Not recommended for children under 16
  • Not recommended for seniors over 70
  • Not recommended for people with mobility impairments

The most honest and helpful tour guide - After I booked this tour, unfortunately the forecast for the night and the following 3 nights wasn't great and Velu reached out to me by midday on WhatsApp to let me know. He was honest and refunded the entire trip. HOWEVER, the reason I'm writing this review and giving him 5 stars is that over the coming days, Velu continued to speak to me on WhatsApp and help me organise a tour with other tour operators on a day where the forecast was good, taking time out of his day to explain what CME (Coronal mass ejections) are and how the pros forecast auroras. In the end, I saw a massive rare blue aurora with another operator but it wouldn't have worked without Velu's help and his honesty. Don't be cheap and try to see the northern lights with another cheaper tour, go with Velu as you'll get the best service you could ever imagine and with a tiny bit of luck, he WILL do everything in his power to help you see the northern lights - From an Aussie who has dreamt of seeing them for years

Best guide ever- totally worth the money - Velo is one of the best guides I have come across. We took a tour with Velo, actually we were his first ever customers. He has his van set up with all equipments and accessories for the nothern lights hunting and also for the ease of the passengers. While on the tour he gave us a lot of information about the phenomena and how to read the cloud cover, kp index etc. He drove for 10 hours in search of nothern lights and took us to Sweden. Unfortunately even after 650km of drive, we could not spot the lights due to heavy cloud cover but Velo left no stone unturned with his efforts. We had a tour previous day with a nothern lights tour company where they just wanted to end the trip and from the second spot (40 mins) they gave up and wanted to head back. The company tours would want you to return at a specifc time and would not take so much effort. Highly recommended to take this tour with Velo
