About This Adventure
Embark on a magical Aurora Expedition, where you'll chase the Northern Lights on a cozy bus journey. Enjoy breathtaking views, capture stunning photos, and relax on a reindeer hide by the serene lake Äkäslompolo. With warm treats and thermal gear provided, this unforgettable evening promises a truly enchanting experience.
An unforgettable evening, in which we first head north and do a round trip, passing by either Jerisjärvi or Ounasjoki, wherever the Northern Lights are more likely to flame up that night.
The Aurora Expedition is made in comfort by bus. On the way, we stop to take photos, as we continue to the shore of lake Äkäslompolo. Grab a reindeer hide, lie down and enjoy an unforgettable experience under the Northern Lights. If the evening is completely calm, you may even hear the whispers of the Northern Lights…
