Northern Lights & Stargazing – Small Group Experience

Join us for a cozy and personal Northern Lights adventure!
We pick you up and whisk you away from the city glow to remote locations chosen through expert analysis of meteorology and space weather data giving you the best possible chance to witness the Aurora Borealis in peace and quiet.

At our selected spot, while waiting for the lights to appear, we’ll use our powerful stargazing telescope to explore the wonders of the night sky! From the craters of the Moon to Saturn’s rings and deep space objects millions of light years away.*

Your Chances of Seeing the Northern Lights

The Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon and can never be guaranteed. For a successful sighting, three elements must align:
Solar wind
Darkness
A clear or partly clear sky

We maximize our chances with exceptional weather expertise, the first and most crucial step in Northern Lights hunting. With over a decade of experience, our success rate is an impressive 90%.

When chances are low, we cancel the tour and offer a free re-schedule or full refund.
If you join a tour and don’t see the lights, you’re welcome to join again for free, as often as needed within 2 years.
