Join us on a comfortable bus tour through the snowy roads of Salla in search of the magical Northern Lights!
- Aurora season: Our Northern Lights season runs from late August to early April
- Pick-up and departure: We pick you up at set pick-up point and head towards remote areas away from artificial lights, where the dark skies offer better opportunities to spot the aurora.
- Explore the Arctic night: Travel through the small, remote villages of Salla. Along the way, we stop for hot drinks and, when weather permitting, step outside to admire the starry sky.
- Duration and inclusions: The tour lasts approximately 3–4 hours, depending on weather conditions and aurora activity. Guiding, transportation and hot drinks are included.
Please note: The Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon, and sightings cannot be guaranteed.
If the forecast indicates cloudy skies or very low chances of seeing the aurora, we may cancel the tour. In that case, you will receive a 100% refund.
