Embark on a Royal Arctic adventure as we chase the Northern Lights through the Lapland wilderness. This isn’t not a sightseeing tour — it’s a private full-on chasing to witness one of nature’s most epic shows.

You'll travel privately, far away from the city lights, guided by real-time forecasts and a local expert. Your guide will take you to where the skies are clearest and the auroras most likely to appear.

While we wait for the magic to unveil, you’ll be warming up by the fire with a traditional Lappish BBQ and hear stories about Lapland, Arctic life and the science behind the auroras.

This tour blends private, comfort, adventure and flexible timing: we’ll go as far and as long as needed — It gives you the best shot at seeing the Northern Lights.

Professional photos are included on this price.

Important information

  • A minimum of 4 participants is required for the tour to operate. This tour can also operate for smaller groups of 1–3 participants. In that case, the remaining participant slots up to the 4-person minimum must be booked to operate the tour.
  • Please wear your own warm winter clothing suitable for the current weather conditions.
  • We recommend dressing in warm layers and wearing insulated winter boots, gloves, a hat, and a scarf.
  • Please remember that the Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon. Their visibility, intensity, colours, and size can vary from night to night. They may also appear brighter and more colourful in photographs than to the naked eye, as professional cameras can capture more light and detail.
