Guaranteed Northern Lights Expedition in Lapland
See the Northern Lights or get your money back
Guaranteed Northern Lights is not about controlling nature, but about guiding you to the right moment. This expedition is designed for travelers who want a real Arctic experience, where silence, darkness, and local knowledge come together to give you the best possible chance to witness the auroras.
We don’t rush into the night. We wait for the right moment.
Duration: 2-5 hours
Available from September to the end of March (1 Sep – 31 Mar)
A Guaranteed Northern Lights experience built on timing and lifetime experience
Guaranteed Northern Lights experiences are often about chasing, driving long distances north to reach areas where aurora activity is higher, while also considering cloud cover. We don’t need to drive long distances. We are already here. Our home in far northern Lapland lies under the Aurora Oval, where Northern Lights activity is high, which is why the auroras appear here so often.
The Guaranteed Northern Lights Expedition only takes place when conditions look promising. We rely on years of experience and a deep understanding of these skies. We have spent most of our lives under these skies. What feels obvious to us is not always simple for someone visiting for the first time. That is why we do the planning for you.
You simply share your full stay dates in Hetta with us. When the night looks right, we reach out. Then it is your choice, if it feels right, we go together into the wilderness.
A Guaranteed Northern Lights experience built on timing and lifetime experience
When the moment comes, we travel deep into the wilderness, far from any artificial light. In winter, you glide through a dark, snow-covered forest on a sleigh pulled by a snowmobile, arriving at an open area where the sky stretches wide above you. In autumn, we drive into the night to a remote lake, where the Northern Lights may appear not only in the sky, but also reflected on the still water.
There is no noise or distraction. And when the Northern Lights appear, you don’t just see them. You feel them. Seeing the auroras in complete darkness, in deep silence, without a single artificial light around you, is something that stays with you. It moves you in a way no parking lot ever will.
If the Northern Lights do not appear, you will still leave with something meaningful. The memory of the silence of the Arctic wilderness and the vast sky filled with stars. If the auroras do not appear, the experience is on us. You will receive a full refund.

Yes. For this Guaranteed Northern Lights experience to be considered successful, the Northern Lights must be visible with the naked eye. Seeing them only through a camera is not enough. Even weaker auroras are still clearly visible to the human eye in deep darkness.
