Our trip to the Northern Lights has already received excellent reviews for years. This is because our Northern Lights spotting place is the best possible place where no other lights are at all, the northern sky is fully open, and the weather is often clear even if it is cloudy or foggy in the town. By our long experience the right hours to be out there is 11-12 PM. The likelihood is about 80% to see some kind of lights. Is it the highest in the world? We do not know but we think so! Why to book our organized trip? It is all about knowing the best place for following the lights. Many people believe that a glass igloo helps you seeing the Northern Lights. It is a special experience indeed to sleep in one but actually they don’t help you seeing the lights. The best chances and places are on mountains. The hills have a great view to north, and are far away from all artificial lights. Guaranteed lights: If you miss the lights anyway you may join again within the next following 2 weeks!
