Getting started
Your experience begins at 10:00pm when you are picked up from your hotel by an expert guide.

The group arrives ready to engage in late-night viewing sessions that continue until drop-offs between 3:00am and 4:00am.
Aurora Viewing Lodge
The Aurora Viewing Lodge serves as your base for observing the Northern Lights throughout the night. This dedicated space allows you to remain comfortable during breaks from outdoor viewing, providing an ideal setting to watch the sky for signs of the Aurora Borealis.
- With a focus on the Aurora Borealis, your expert guide will assist in identifying when and where to step outside for optimal views. You are encouraged to bring along a camera or smartphone to capture personal photos of this natural wonder.
- Lodge accommodations offer an indoor space for rest and warmth during intervals without Aurora activity. This setup enhances comfort, allowing you to enjoy the late hours more than if standing outside all night.
- An expert guide accompanies you throughout the entire experience, from hotel pick-up to drop-off. They provide practical advice on managing subarctic temperatures and help balance time between indoor warmth at the lodge and outdoor viewing opportunities.
- Included in your package is round-trip transportation via a climate-controlled vehicle for both journeys—heading to the lodge and returning to your hotel. During the night, you have access to snacks and hot drinks to keep warm and energized while awaiting the Aurora's appearance.
