Aurora borealis over Finnish wilderness during photography tour in Ruka
100% Aurora-garantie
Tour Overview

We Chase
the Lights — Guaranteed

Our flagship aurora hunting tour is unlike any passive "wait and see" experience. Armed with real-time space weather data, live KP-index monitoring, and an intimate knowledge of the Kuusamo wilderness, our guides actively seek the perfect viewing location — every single night.

Cloud cover across a 150km radius is tracked in real time. If conditions are better 80km to the north, we drive north. The aurora does not wait, and neither do we. This dynamic approach, combined with a maximum group size of just 8 guests, is why our aurora sighting rate remains unmatched in Finnish Lapland.

En als het licht echt niet meewerkt? Verschijnt het noorderlicht niet, dan betalen we je tour terug en houden we alleen een brandstofbijdrage van € 30 per persoon in om onze kosten te dekken — je betaalt nooit de volle prijs voor een mislukte jacht. Liever nog eens proberen? Dan boeken we je gratis om.

De beleving

What to Expect

Every detail is designed to maximise your chances and deepen your experience under the polar sky.

01
Real-Time KP Index Tracking

Our guides monitor live geomagnetic data from the Finnish Meteorological Institute and international aurora forecasting services throughout the evening. We know the moment conditions become favourable — and we move.

02
150km Radius Cloud Chasing

Cloud cover is the aurora hunter's greatest enemy. We track weather across a vast radius in real time and drive to clear skies — reaching remote locations far from light pollution, inaccessible to independent travellers.

03
Professional Photography Coaching

Shooting the aurora is a technical skill. Our guides teach you the exact camera settings — aperture, ISO, shutter speed, manual focus — so you capture sharp, vivid images whatever camera you have. Tripod available on request.

04
Maximum 8 Guests — Always

We strictly cap every departure at eight guests. This is not a bus tour. It is a small-group wilderness experience with personal guide attention, silent viewing spots, and space to take in one of nature's greatest spectacles.

Not at all. Our guides work with whatever equipment you have — DSLR, mirrorless, compact camera, or even a modern smartphone with manual mode. The key techniques (long exposure, wide aperture, high ISO, manual focus on infinity) apply to all cameras. Many of our best guest photos have been taken on smartphones. If you would like to use a tripod, simply let us know when booking and we will have one ready.

Departure is between 8:00pm and 9:30pm depending on the time of year — darkness falls earlier in mid-winter. We confirm your exact pickup time 24 hours before your tour. The tour lasts between 4 and 6 hours depending on aurora activity. If the lights are putting on a spectacular show, we stay out as long as you want to. You will be back at your accommodation by around 2:00–3:00am at the latest.

Yes. Private group bookings are available and highly recommended for families, couples, or groups wanting an exclusive experience.
