Tour Description:

On this tour, you’ll spend the entire time chasing the Northern Lights.

If the sky is cloudy, we’ll keep moving from place to place until we find a clear spot to see the Aurora. Sometimes, we may even take you all the way to Finland! If we don’t see the Northern Lights during your Small or Private Group Chase, you can join our big bus Aurora Chase for free on another night, upon availability!

Our guide will share fascinating facts about the Aurora Borealis and photography techniques. You’ll also learn how to take stunning photos of the Northern Lights using your camera or phone.

The tour typically lasts 4–8 hours, depending on the night’s success.
