About the Northern Lights campfire tour

A Northern Lights tour often means a lot of standing in the cold. This one is built around comfort: thermal suits keep you warm, there is a real campfire to sit around, and hot chocolate and marshmallows to pass the time while the guide watches the sky.

The guide chooses where to go each night from the aurora and weather forecasts, so the route is never fixed.

The Northern Lights can never be promised. If the tour runs and you do not see them, you can join the Northern Lights minibus tour again for free for up to three years, subject to availability. If the forecast is poor, the tour may be cancelled by 18:15 on the day, and you can rebook or get a full refund.
