About the Activity
What to Expect
If you are visiting Finland, you cannot miss a Northern Lights Tour in Lapland. Join our tour starting from Ivalo, chasing the Northern Lights around Lake Inari and enjoying a warm open fire dinner. Once everyone is geared up, we head to the Aurora camp situated near the serene Lake Inari, a perfect spot free from light pollution to enjoy nature's spectacular light show.
Upon arrival at the camp, you will be welcomed with warm drinks and an engaging introduction to the nature of the Northern Lights. As we stroll on the lake and through the forest, take in the breathtaking views and discuss the beautiful phenomenon dancing across the sky. This is a great opportunity to capture stunning photographs of the aurora borealis and learn from our knowledgeable guides about this natural wonder.
After the walk, gather around for an unforgettable open-fire dinner at the camp, featuring a locally sourced warm meal that truly embodies the flavors of the region. For those seeking an extra touch of relaxation or adventure, you have the option to combine your Aurora camp experience with a tent sauna and ice swimming or the thrill of snowmobiling.
