The Aurora Hunting Tour is designed to maximize your chances of seeing the Northern Lights. Instead of staying in one place, we search for clear skies by car, moving through the Lapland wilderness to find the best viewing locations. We follow cloud forecasts and aurora forecasts before and during the tour. This flexible approach allows us to travel to areas with open sky and better conditions. In the Ivalo region, Northern Lights are visible on about 5 out of 7 nights when the sky is clear, making it one of the best places in the world for aurora viewing. During the tour we visit quiet locations far from light pollution where the Arctic sky can be experienced at its best. Because we are mobile, we can often reach clearer skies within a few hours. Every night in the Arctic is different, which makes each aurora hunting experience unique. The goal is simple: find clear sky and give you the best chance to witness the magic of the Northern Lights.

At the end, the collected material is carefully cleaned, and any gold you find can be taken home in a small glass vial.
