Autumn Northern Lights Tour – Small Group (max 8 guests)

3 hours

Easy

Join a local guide for an intimate Northern Lights hunt in a small group of max 8 guests. Enjoy warm drinks, photography support, tripods, and access to peaceful private lakeshores perfect for capturing the auroras.

Autumn is one of the most beautiful times to experience the Northern Lights in Lapland. The evenings are still mild, the lakes are open, and the sky reflects on the water — a perfect moment to photograph the auroras without winter’s cold.

This tour is designed for small groups only (max 8 guests) to keep the experience calm, personal, and unhurried. Our guides are local, and they take you to the same places they visit on their own free nights: quiet forest lakes, ridges, and private shorelines that larger groups cannot access.

During the tour, we serve warm drinks, and you can borrow a tripod from us. You will receive a short introduction to aurora photography, and we help you set up your camera or phone so you can capture the moment with confidence.

If the sky is cloudy, we don’t stay in one place — we move to different areas and search for the best possible conditions based on the evening’s weather.
