About the Activity
What to Expect
Experience a unique night with our Northern Lights tour in Ivalo including a workshop about the Aurora, hot drinks, and snacks. Your evening begins with a workshop that delves into the science and cultural significance of the Northern Lights. Here, you will gain a deeper understanding of the aurora, learn forecasting techniques, and discover tips for capturing this elusive phenomenon with your camera. Our expert guides will be on hand to ensure you walk away not just with knowledge, but also with professional photos of yourself under the dancing lights.
After the workshop, you will be outfitted in winter overalls and boots, perfectly suited for the icy environment.
