Solar activity is on the up and March 2023 was as good a month for Aurora Hunting as I can recall. Here’s the thing though; we haven’t really got started yet! The Sun is in the upwards stage of its 11-year activity cycle meaning that we can expect ever more outstanding Auroral displays. I fully expect autumn and winter 2023/24 to deliver the most remarkable Northern Lights season for many a long year. 

Do not miss out is my best advice.

Your Aurora Experience

We got very lucky with the northern lights and although we didn't see any for the first 3 nights the last night gave us an amazing display. The best day time activity by far was the husky sledging. I thought the help and information given for the everchanging covid travel rules was brilliant. Very clear and helpful.

Nellim - Northern Lights over Lake Inari
Travelled 29th December 2021

The whole experience was absolutely magical. The team were keen to help to ensure we got the best experience. The travel experts were brilliant at keeping us informed as to travel requirements considering the speed that things were changing with Covid testing. Simply perfect from the rustic charm of the accommodation, to the knowledge of the guides, to the friendliness of all the staff, to the fantastic location - perfect!! Thanks for arranging it all.

Menesjarvi Aurora Wilderness Auroras Week
Travelled 7th January 2022

The accommodation, the area, the people, the experiences it was all fantastic! All the people I had communications with were so helpful and always answering my queries promptly. In particular Karen who went out of her way to help me source the last minute lateral flow tests we needed to take with us (that had been sprung on travellers by the Government 24 hours before!) and calling me back to check I was ok and had everything sorted. They were all kind and helpful.
