Our Northern Lights trip has got excellent feedback already for years. This is because our Northern Lights spotting place is the best possible place where are no other lights at all, northern sky is fully open and the weather is often clear even if it is cloudy or foggy in the town. By our long experience the right hours to be out there is 11-12 PM.Great surprises happen! The likelihood is about 80% to see some kind of lights. Is it the highest in the world? We do not know but we think so Why to book our organized trip? It is all about knowing the best place for following the lights. Many people believe that a glass igloo helps you seeing the Northern Lights. It is a special experience indeed to sleep in one but actually they don’t help you seeing the lights. The best chances and places are on mountains and hills having great view to north and what is really important for photographing – far away from all artificial lights.
