Head into Lapland’s dark skies on a 6-hour, adults-only aurora hunt from Levi. Guides chase real-time forecasts, provide thermal suits and a hot meal, and help you photograph the Northern Lights far from town lights.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The road out of Levi thins to a dark ribbon and the trees lean in, as if holding their breath. Under an Arctic sky the stars feel close enough to touch; the Northern Lights begin as a distant green smear and then push and fold across the heavens, daring you to follow.

The Levi area, in Kittilä, transitioned from reindeer herding landscapes to a ski and winter-recreation hub in the mid-20th century; Sámi culture remains an important local influence.
Conservation
Guides emphasize minimizing light pollution and staying on established vehicle tracks; visitors should avoid disturbing wildlife and remove all waste to protect fragile Arctic environments.

Dress for sub-zero waits
Even with thermal suits provided, wear insulating base layers and warm socks; multiple thin layers trap heat better than one heavy layer.
Protect camera batteries
Bring spare batteries kept warm in an inner pocket—cold drains power quickly and you’ll want extra for long-exposure shots.
Plan for limited facilities
Toilet opportunities are scarce in the wilderness; use facilities in Levi before departure and keep hand sanitizer and tissues.
Stay flexible with timing
Aurora visibility depends on weather and solar activity—be prepared for late-night waits and a guided decision to move locations.
Insulating base layers
Moisture-wicking thermal layers keep you warm beneath the supplied suit.

Insulated, waterproof boots

Camera with spare batteries
