Northern Lights hunting

The biggest draw to our northern destinations is the Aurora viewing potential. To see the Northern Lights in their full glory, you need dark skies which is why our trips all operate during winter and in remote locations away from light pollution. Strictly speaking, it’s difficult to say the best time to see the Northern Lights because they are a naturally occurring phenomenon. However, in places like Finland they can be seen on up to 200 nights of the year!

In the Northern Hemisphere, the Aurora Borealis appears most frequently in a band just north of the Arctic Circle at approximately 66°N and 69°N. Essentially, regardless of whether solar activity is high, medium or low, this is where you have the best chance. Naturally, this is where we base all of our Northern Lights holidays in an area we call the Aurora Zone. In those destinations, we also work closely with local guides who know the area and provide innovative ways for you to go on the hunt for the Northern Lights.

Full Arctic experience

We thoroughly research and visit all of our Northern Lights destinations, and we know that the daylight hours also offer a compelling range of activities to give you the full Arctic experience.

Tick husky sledding off your bucket list, snowmobile through your wintery surroundings, or explore the snow-capped forests during a reindeer-pulled sleigh ride. To find your perfect break, take a look through our itineraries on our Northern Lights holidays in 2023 to find a trip to suit you. Alternatively, get in touch with one of our Aurora Experts on 01670 785012 who will be delighted to help you make your Northern Lights dreams come true.

The dark skies of December

In this part of the world, the Northern Lights appear year-round but it isn’t until the darker skies set in that you get the best chance to enjoy a light display. That is because they provide the longest window to experience the wondrously-green lights in all their glory. The Aurora Zone got its name from a band of the Arctic Circle that stretches from 66°N to 69°N over Northern Scandinavia and North America famed for its frequent and excellent Northern Lights displays.

All of our locations sit right in the middle of this band, meaning there is no better place to see the elusive Auroras. Not only do we use the best locations we also use our own unique Aurora hunting formula to tailor each and every one of our holidays to give you your best bet in nature’s lottery. So although the Northern Lights are never guaranteed, we really do give you the best possible chance of seeing them on your holiday.

December’s colours

The big freeze of winter is an incredible thing to see. You can almost imagine someone pulling a blanket of snow over the landscape and covering it with this mesmerising white powder.

Forget what you’ve heard about pitch-black 24 hours in Northern Scandinavia, though the sun may not break the horizon, the residual light from the snow creates an ethereal reflection.

This is a truly wonderful time of year where the daylight hours feel neither like day or night and instead, a greyish blue tint washes over the bright-white landscape. In late December these colours are even more prominent, so much so the locals call this time of year, ‘Blue Time’. You’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a real-life Christmas card during a Northern Lights holiday in December 2022.

Tis the season to be jolly!

The Northern Lights may be your main attraction, but the daytime hours are just as alluring, particularly during the most enchanting time of the year.

The deep snow of December opens up an array of opportunities for winter activities and gives you a chance to really embrace the festive spirit.

From adventurous husky sledding and snowmobiling to peaceful reindeer sleigh rides and cross-country skiing, your Christmas gift this year can be ticking off bucket list experiences!
