What you can expect

  • WE HUNT — WE DON'T JUST HOPE

    Seeing the Northern Lights is never guaranteed by nature. But choosing the right team can make a huge difference.

    At Arctic Safari Guides, Northern Lights hunting is our specialty. Our experienced guides combine knowledge of Lapland, local roads and Arctic weather with professional forecasts and live information from across the region.

    Our goal is simple: to give you the maximum possible chance of seeing the Northern Lights.

    REAL-TIME INFORMATION ACROSS LAPLAND

    Before every Hunt, we analyze forecasts, satellite imagery, cloud coverage and Aurora activity. During the night, several of our vehicles may be hunting in different areas. Our guides stay connected, sharing live information about weather, clear skies and Aurora sightings.

    We don't follow fixed routes. The conditions determine where we go.

    SMALL GROUPS — NO BUSES, NO HASSLE

    Our Hunts are operated with cars and minivans, not large buses. This allows us to change direction quickly, use smaller roads and react to changing conditions.

    Small groups. Flexible routes. No buses. No hassle.

    WE DON'T CANCEL JUST BECAUSE IT'S DIFFICULT

    A challenging forecast isn't a reason to give up — and a small group is never a reason for us to cancel.

    If you have made a booking with us, we won't cancel simply because there are only a few guests, the drive may be long or the night becomes inconvenient for us.

    If conditions look so poor that we genuinely believe the Hunt may not be worth your time, we may suggest another evening. We will always discuss this with you first. Cancellation is our last option.

    CHOOSE YOUR HUNT

    Serious Aurora hunting, flexible routing and professional photography in a small group.

    ⭐ 8-Hour Hunt | Best Chance
    If seeing the Aurora is one of the highlights of your Lapland holiday, choose this option. More time and a wider search area give us maximum flexibility. Max. 8 guests.

    ⭐ Private 8-Hour Hunt | Exclusive

    DYNAMIC DEPARTURE TIMES

    Your final departure time is confirmed by around 2:00 PM on the day of your Hunt based on the latest conditions.

    MULTILINGUAL GUIDING

    English and Finnish year-round. Spanish, Italian, French, Greek, Turkish, Czech, Slovak and Portuguese may also be available from October to March. Choose your preferred language when booking.

    100% AURORA PHOTO GUARANTEE

    Nobody can control nature. What we guarantee is our commitment to finding the Aurora.

    If no Aurora photos are captured, you may join another available Hunt free of charge. If re-booking isn't possible during your stay, you'll receive a full refund according to our guarantee terms.

    PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY INCLUDED

    Our guides capture professional Aurora photos whenever conditions allow. Edited high-resolution photos are delivered to your personal online gallery within three business days at no extra cost.
