Aurora Photography Expedition with Video
Overview
Book your Northern Lights adventure and leave the rest to us!
With over 15 years of professional photography experience, we go beyond just chasing the aurora, we help you capture it beautifully. Our tours are led by an expert who understands Arctic weather, solar activity, and how to time each outing for the highest chances of success.
We offer flexible booking adjustments based on real-time weather and aurora forecasts. If conditions aren't favorable, we can reschedule (depending on availability) or cancel with a 100% refund.
If the camera can’t capture the aurora, we offer a Money-Back Guarantee.
You book, and we’ll handle the rest, from tracking the skies to guiding your experience. That’s why our guests leave with memories and images they’ll treasure forever.
Note: Videography may be provided depending on aurora intensity and visibility.

Meeting and Pickup
Please provide accurate contact details to receive updates on your pick-up time, as it is based on Northern Lights activity
What To Expect
Departure times are scheduled between 17:00 and 22:00. On the day of your tour, we will contact you via phone, WhatsApp, or Instagram to provide important updates and the exact pick-up time.
We will begin by picking you up from your accommodation. Once in the vehicle, we will discuss the conditions and inform you of our route and destination for the night. After a brief orientation, we will drive you away from city lights to a location with the highest probability of seeing the Northern Lights.
In the event of cloudy weather conditions, we will relocate to increase our chances of finding a gap in the clouds to observe the Northern Lights. If they start to appear, we will remain at the location and let nature's magic unfold, rather than risk missing the chance to witness the magic shown by continuing to drive.
While waiting for the Northern Lights, you can enjoy the tranquility of the Arctic landscape and steaming hot drinks with cookies. Once the lights appear, we'll begin capturing your portrait with the Northern Lights as a backdrop using professional photography equipment. If you bring your own camera, we'll guide you on the best settings to capture this magical phenomenon.
