THE HUNT

We Don't Wait For Auroras. We Find Them.

Most operators park in one spot and hope - we don't. Every night we check live aurora and cloud data, then drive up to 380km into Sweden or Norway if that's where the sky is clear.

Our Aurora hunts are made for travelers who want a true Northern Lights chasing experience and really want to see the northern lights, not just a standard sightseeing tour. We may travel deep into the Lapland wilderness, far away from city lights, and when needed, even cross the border into Sweden to maximize your chances of seeing the Aurora Borealis.

THE PROMISE

No aurora?
Your money back.

If we do not see the Northern Lights with the naked eye* - you will receive a full refund or we reschedule you to another night.

The science

What are the
northern lights?

The northern lights — the aurora borealis — happen when charged particles from the sun hit gases high in our atmosphere. Most nights they glow green; on a strong one you'll catch violet, pink, even red.

Lapland is one of the best places on Earth to see them, and Rovaniemi sits right under the auroral oval. Our northern lights tours run from September to March, on the clear, dark nights when the aurora is strongest — and we drive until we find it.

Jesse and his team are true aurora hunters. Despite the overcast sky they took us to Swedish Lapland to admire the aurora.

Photos have become outstanding. The places you drive to are beautiful. It costs a little more, but is worth every penny.

After waiting for 20 mins, the light became so vibrant and it started dancing right above us.

The sky was giving us a magical show. Wrapped up with homemade cookies and warm drinks. I would strongly recommend this company.
