Tour Description:

Step off the beaten path and enjoy a personal, private experience. Our enthusiastic guides will pick you up directly from your hotel and take you on a chase to find the best spot for viewing the Northern Lights. If the skies are cloudy, we’ll keep moving until we find clear conditions – even if it means crossing the border into Finland.

At one of the stops, you’ll be served hot drinks and cookies while our guide shares local knowledge, fascinating aurora facts, and photography tips. On especially cold nights, we provide thermal suits to keep you warm, and when possible, we’ll make a cozy bonfire to elevate your experience.

This private tour follows the same approach as our classic Aurora Chase but is tailored exclusively for you and your group (up to 7 people). We believe that actively chasing the lights – without long dinner stops – gives you the best chance to see this natural wonder. Feel free to bring your own snacks for the journey.

If you don’t see the lights, we offer a 50% discount on our standard Aurora Chase tour (shared bus, subject to availability).
