Description
Experience and photograph the amazing Northern Lights on this photography based tour. Go aurora hunting with professional guides to have the best possible chance to witness the Northern Lights.
Begin with a team meeting about the tour of the day then get a short briefing about current weather conditions, aurora forecasts, and your destination of the day. The focus of this tour is the Rovaniemi area and you will travel by minivan. After reaching the destination you will leave the minivan and continue on foot to reach the perfect spots in the middle of nature. In the destination, your guide, a professional photographer, helps you prepare your cameras for Northern Lights photography and get ready for the show of a lifetime.
Northern Lights are always unpredictable and there is no guarantee that they will be found every night. However, this tour gives you the best possible chance to experience and photograph these mystical wonders of the Arctic area. During the night you are a member of an exclusive team led by a professional photography guide.
Simply put, you will join real aurora hunters who rely on the following to succeed in their mission:
• background research into local weather and Aurora forecasts
• live information feed coming directly into the minivan
•local knowledge of all the best viewing spots
•willingness to go the extra mile, or a hundred miles, to find the aurora
During the night, you will normally visit two to three different locations, which are always chosen according to local weather conditions and photograph opportunities. This means that if the sky is clear and there is a possibility to see the aurora 100 kilometers away, we will take the chance and drive you there. Altogether there are over 50 locations from which to choose the best ones each night.
