Aurora Hunting Experience
Each night, we monitor aurora activity using real-time satellite data to determine the best opportunity for viewing. If conditions are favorable, we will head out for a guided aurora hunt, carefully selecting locations with the clearest skies and strongest activity.
Aurora hunting is highly dependent on both solar activity and weather conditions, and the decision to go out is typically made on the day, around 18:00, based on the latest data.
The Northern Lights season runs from September to April, and the more nights you spend with us, the higher your chances of witnessing this incredible natural phenomenon.
