Chase the Northern Lights Across Scandinavia & Iceland with The Aurora Zone

Hey U.S. adventurers — ready to witness one of Earth’s most magical natural wonders?

The Aurora Zone creates unforgettable Northern Lights vacations across Scandinavia and Iceland. Whether it’s Finland’s peaceful wilderness or Iceland’s dramatic landscapes, our tours are designed to maximize your chances of seeing the breathtaking Aurora Borealis.

Make The Aurora Zone Your Choice!

We’re the UK’s only travel company that specializes exclusively in Northern Lights experiences — and we’ve welcomed thousands of travelers from the U.S. and around the world. Embark on unforgettable Northern Lights tours to Finland, Sweden, Norway, or Iceland with us and you could witness nature’s most dazzling light show.

Now is the time travel as the Solar Cycle Maximum is occurring right now which makes the 2025/26 Aurora season set to be the best yet. During this peak, we see an increased number of sunspots on the Sun which in turn release more solar flares and coronal mass ejections that generate spectacular displays of the northern lights all over the Aurora Zone.
