Overview
Experience the greatest natural show on earth, nestled in the wilderness of the Finnish backcountry, in a unique, first-class setting. Spend your days immersing yourself in the pure natural environment of Lapland, and your evenings gazing in awe at the brilliant colours of the Aurora Borealis.
The tour begins once you’ve been picked up from Ivalo airport, and taken to your luxurious Aurora Cabin to begin your three-day hunt for the Northern Lights.
Seeing this phenomenon in person is one that simply can’t be matched, as brilliant reds and greens burst across the inky black sky, brushing the deep fir forests.
In fact, The Northern Lights were thought to possess great magical power, which is why the ancient Sámi shamanic drums have dedicated patterns for controlling the flames of the sky, and when you see them for yourself can completely understand why man might resort to the supernatural as an explanation.
You’ll receive high-class accommodation in a cozy Aurora Cabin, the glass roof providing an expansive, panoramic view of the space above you. You’ll have the opportunity to experience exhilarating dog sled and reindeer rides, and set out on snowshoe expeditions into the magnificent wintery forests and fells.
Gliding through the impossibly still forest and the crisp, clear Lapland air is a hugely liberating feeling, and you’ll come across some of the most beautiful natural landscapes anywhere in Finland.
Satisfyingly wearied from a day of once-in-a-lifetime excursions, settle in for some delicious food prepared with only the purest ingredients from Lapland, served by a roaring, warming log fire and in the snug Lappi restaurant.
The entire program has been crafted with skill and passion so that you can enjoy this unforgettable experience totally, without compromising on comfort as you relax in the highest quality accommodation on a Lapland adventure to remember.
A full example itinerary is detailed below, activity timings can differ slightly, your own personal schedule will be given to you upon check in.
