Description
Embark on a hunt for the Northern Lights in Saariselkä. Travel by minivan to spot the aurora with guides selecting the best locations based on forecasts to maximize your chances.
Embark on a 3-hour Aurora Hunt in a minivan from Saariselkä. Hunt for the Northern Lights with the help of an experienced guide. Enjoy the flexibility of a small-group tour with the possibility to go to the best locations only a van can reach.
Meet your guide and hop into a comfortable minivan that seats 6-8 people. The pick-up from your accommodation is included (15 km radius of Saariselkä center). Set off on a hunt for the Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis. Ask your guide any questions you have about the Northern Lights, nature, Lapland, the local culture, and beyond.
Drive as far as possibly feasible to find clear skies and hopefully see the lights.
We don't just drive to the same spot every night and wait for the clouds to move and the lights to appear. We literally hunt them! Sip on warm drinks and nibble on snacks during the breaks. If you don't have a camera or tripod, request a photography tour in advance and the shots can be seen and purchased after the tour.
Wear comfortable clothing for the van ride (it might be a long one, depending on weather conditions) and bring a warm winter jacket, beanie, gloves, and winter boots to spend time outdoors under the Northern Lights.
Remember the Northern lights are a natural phenomenon and cannot be guaranteed, but the guides will do everything to provide you with clear information, based on their experience and expertise, which will help you to understand and experience them.
