Levi: Northern Lights Pro Guaranteed – Unlimited Distance

If you’re dreaming of witnessing the mesmerizing dance of the Aurora Borealis in Lapland, this tour offers one of the most comprehensive ways to do so. For $234 per person, you get a tailor-made, unlimited-distance chase across Finland, Sweden, or Norway, guided by seasoned locals who not only know the skies but are also talented professional photographers. The tour lasts as long as the conditions are promising, with no fixed routes or mileage caps, maximizing your chances of catching the Lights in all their glory.

What we really appreciate about this experience is the personalized approach—a small group (max 8 travelers) ensures intimacy and flexibility, and the expert meteorologist insights help you understand the best times and places for viewing.

Location and Setting

This tour takes you deep into the Lapland wilderness, with the promise of chasing the Northern Lights across Finland, Sweden, and Norway. Unlike many standard Aurora tours that stick close to the town of Levi, this experience offers the adventure of crossing borders and venturing into regions with minimal light pollution. The remote locations—sometimes on a frozen lake or in open wilderness—are vital for maximizing visibility of the Lights.

By not confining themselves to a fixed route, guides adapt to current weather patterns and aurora forecasts, which is crucial because the Aurora is notoriously unpredictable. Some reviewers note that the drive can be quite long—up to 400 km at times—but they find the effort worth it for the chance to see the Lights in their full glory.

The Experience and How It Works

The tour kicks off with a pickup at your accommodation within 50 km of Levi Village, and from there, the journey begins. You’ll travel in a modern, air-conditioned van equipped for comfort in the Arctic chill, while hot drinks and local Arctic snacks keep you warm and energized. The small group size ensures you’re not lost in a crowd—more like traveling with a group of friends on a winter adventure.

What sets this tour apart is its flexibility. The guides don’t stick to a preset timetable; instead, they monitor real-time weather and aurora forecasts—including cloud cover, solar wind, and aurora activity—to determine where the best viewing conditions are. This means they might take a short drive into the Finnish wilderness or a longer crossing into neighboring countries if the forecast indicates better skies there.

While on the road, you’ll have plenty of opportunity to learn about the science behind the Aurora from guides who are also professional photographers. They will help you capture the Lights with your camera, offering tips on settings and ensuring the best possible shots. All edited high-resolution photos are delivered via email within 24 to 72 hours, giving you lasting memories of your Arctic adventure.

The Search for the Perfect Light

The core of this trip is the pursuit of the Aurora, and the guides work tirelessly to optimize your chances. Your tour might entail driving through snow-covered forests, stopping on frozen lakes, or simply pulling over in scenic spots with minimal light pollution. The expert meteorologist insights offered during the trip help you understand why certain conditions are ideal for Aurora visibility, making it an educational experience as well.

Travelers have expressed satisfaction with the personalized nature of the chase. One reviewer noted, “We loved the way our guide adapted the route based on weather, and the photos turned out amazing.” This approach maximizes your chances, especially given how unpredictable the Aurora can be.

The Comfort and Extras

While all the focus is on the Aurora, the comfort and warmth provided are equally important. The tour includes thermal winter clothing—a real relief in sub-zero temperatures—and the hot drinks and snacks help keep everyone cozy during the waiting periods.

Some reviews mention that the van is comfortable, with plenty of space to relax and chat about the ongoing chase. Since the trip lasts for as long as the Aurora is visible, expect to be out late into the night, which is perfect if you’re a night owl but might be tiring for those with early schedules.
