After the sun sets, Nightrise brings the Banff Gondola’s summit building to life in unexpected ways. Explore four multi-sensory art installations and discover your own connection to the mountaintop.

Experience the summit in a whole new light

Nightrise honours the magic of sacred mountains — a place of gathering since time immemorial for many, including for the Stoney Nakoda People ( Îyârhe Îethka ).

Connect with the summit of Sulphur Mountain (Mînî Rhuwîn) through the Four Wonders. Interact with Cosmic Ray projections on the lower terrace. Bask in shimmering light at the second floor’s Diamond Dust station. Explore Alpenglow — a digital art tribute to the mountains on the fourth floor. Then continue to the top floor patio and listen to the view with Frosted Waves .

What will you discover at the top?

Your adventure begins as the sun sets. Make your way to Sulphur Mountain, located south of the Banff townsite. You have several options for getting here , including Banff ROAM Public Transit.

The gondola’s ascent up Sulphur Mountain sets Nightrise into motion. Music, narration and original soundscapes fill the gondola cabin as you soar more than 2,000 feet in the air. Look out at the mountain views on the way to the top and watch as daylight dims and night rises.

Step onto the summit, where wonder awaits. Cosmic Rays ( Apenene Garharhagach ), Diamond Dust ( Wiyapta Ptach ), Alpenglow ( Aîthîya Eya ) and Frosted Waves ( Yowatha ) make up the Four Wonders — immersive stations of light, sound and projections spread throughout the summit building.

Complete your evening with an unforgettable mountaintop meal before or after experiencing Nightrise. Reserve a table at Sky Bistro for elevated Canadian cuisine. Or, save a spot at Northern Lights Alpine Kitchen , the Banff Gondola’s buffet-style restaurant. For an extra delight, visit the Belvedere Rooftop Bar for a Nightrise-themed nightcap.

Created by Moment Factory in participation with the Stoney Nakoda Nation and presented by Banff Gondola, this unique winter gathering merges immersive multimedia and nature for a new and inspiring take on a familiar location. Complementing the existing offer of food and drinks, Nightrise invites visitors to look, listen, lounge and connect with the mountain in a different way.

Frequently Asked Questions

There's no right or wrong way to discover Nightrise — the four stations can be explored in any order and at any pace. Many of the elements of Nightrise, however, are best experienced after the sun has completely set.

If you are dining on the summit before 8:30 p.m., we recommend exploring Nightrise after your meal. If your reservation is after 8:30 p.m., we recommend arriving 45 to 60 minutes early to fully experience Nightrise ahead of dinner.

Yes, the boardwalk remains open for guests to explore. However, please note that the Nigthrise’s lights and sounds are only displayed inside the building and on the area immediately surrounding the building (1st and 4th floor terraces). As stewards of our National Parks, our aim is to reduce our impact on the dark sky and local wildlife population.

Anticipate cold weather: During the evenings, it's particularly important to dress in proper winter attire . Our gondola cabins are not heated, and it can get cold and windy at the top. For your safety, a winter jacket, warm socks and winter footwear are required .

The Banff Gondola is located 2.5 km from Banff town centre.

ROAM Transit Local Route 1

Take advantage of the Banff ROAM Public Transit Route 1 which departs from downtown Banff to the Banff Gondola (one way cash fare: $2 per person).

From Banff Ave, head south towards the Bow Bridge. Make a left turn after the Bow Bridge onto Mountain Ave and keep to the right lane. Follow Mountain Ave to the very end where you will arrive at the Banff Gondola parking lot on your left.

Nightrise features moving and coloured lights that could trigger individuals with photosensitive epilepsy. It also includes fog/smoke machines.

Nightrise will be returning to the Banff Gondola from November 18, 2023 to March 31, 2024.

Please check online for the current sunset time before your visit here Sunrise and sunset times in Banff (timeanddate.com)

Land Acknowledgement

In the spirit of reconciliation and gratitude, we honour and acknowledge that Banff is located on traditional Treaty 7 territory. These sacred lands are a gathering place for the Îyârhe Eyithkabi of the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney-Wesley First Nations; the Niitsitapi from the Blackfoot Confederacy, including the Siksika, Kainai and Piikani First Nations; the Tsuut’ina First Nation; the Ktunaxa First Nation; the Secwepmc First Nation; the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region III within the historical Northwest Métis Homeland, and many others whose histories, language, and cultures have existed here since time immemorial.

Best Northern Lights Tour Packages in 2024/2025 [with Prices]

Home | Northern Lights | Best Northern Lights Tour Packages in 2024/2025 [with Prices]

If you’re interested in taking a Northern Lights tour but don’t know where to start, don’t worry. This complete guide will introduce you to the best destinations and guided Northern Lights trips .

There are several beautiful places to see the aurora borealis, from Alaska and Canada to Norway and Iceland. We even organize annual Iceland photography trips and Lofoten photo tours specifically for those who want to learn how to photograph the Northern Lights .

Needless to say, you have many different options! To help you out, I’m sharing the best Aurora Borealis tours in 2024. You’ll find a variety of tour packages for all budgets and interests:

• Northern Lights tours in Alaska
• Northern Lights tours in Iceland
• Northern Lights tours in Canada
• Northern Lights tours in Norway
• Northern Lights tours in Finland
• Northern Lights tours in Sweden

At the end of this article, I’ll provide some useful information for your aurora adventure, so be sure to read until the end! Also, if you prefer to organize your own itinerary, I’ll give you some tips on where to see the Northern Lights , how to predict the aurora , the best time to see the Northern Lights , and more.

Best Northern Lights excursions in 2024 + prices

First, I want to give you a rough picture of how much it costs to see the Northern Lights . There are all kinds of tours as well as the option of organizing your own trip, so the price can vary greatly. Even so, this table with the best Northern Lights excursions should give you a better idea of how much you should budget:

Please note that the prices in this chart only reflect the cost of the Northern Lights tour packages. You’ll have to add the cost of your flights.

How much does a Northern Lights trip cost?

The price of a Northern Lights tour in 2024 varies depending on several important factors. Not only should you consider your destination, but also the departure point and the transportation costs to get there. The price also depends on your travel dates, the duration of the tour, included activities, etc.

If you’re planning your own Northern Lights trip , that can also change the price quite a bit. However, the cost of a Northern Lights trip isn’t always more expensive than going on your own. There are cheap tour packages that can save you money if they include accommodation, meals, and transportation.

For example, an aurora tour in Canada can cost $160/day (€150/day) and include your hotel, guide, and transportation. This is significantly cheaper than organizing all the details on your own. On the other hand, a tour in Iceland costs more – about $295/day (€275/day) – which is still pretty affordable considering everything it includes. Of course, there are more expensive Northern Lights tour packages , such as the ones in Alaska, which cost around $675/day (€630/day).

Obviously, the overall price depends on lots of moving factors, so let’s break it down below. We’ll look at the costs for flights, hotels, rental cars, and tours so you can better calculate the total cost and budget accordingly. Remember, these prices are approximate .

Cheap flights to see the Northern Lights

No matter where you’re taking your Northern Lights vacation , you can find cheap flights on Kiwi.com . I recommend you start looking for flights 3-5 months before your trip. What I like about Kiwi is that it searches all the available flights so that you can find the best deals quickly. It’s always worked great for us!

This chart will give you a better idea of the flight costs to Alaska, Iceland, and other top Aurora destinations. These prices are just examples of the lowest round-trip flights I found during my search:

Be sure to check out our guide on how to find cheap flights for more tips and tricks that will help you get the best deals.

Hotel prices to see the Northern Lights

If you book a Northern Lights tour , your accommodation will be taken care of for you. However, if you’re planning your own getaway, read our guide on how to find cheap hotels .

There are all kinds of options, although if you stay in the best Northern Lights hotels in the world , you can expect to pay a lot more. No matter where you stay, be sure to book in advance; rates typically increase the closer you get to your travel dates, especially during Northern Lights season.

If you’re on a tight budget, you can find cheap lodges and hotels, although they won’t be as strategically located. In that case, it’s a good idea to book a guided tour or use a rental car so you can easily travel to the locations with the highest probability of Aurora sightings.

The chart below gives you an idea of the average cost of hotels in some of the top Northern Lights destinations. These prices reflect the approximate cost per night for 2 adults:

Again, the rates will vary throughout the year, and the total price will depend on the time of year you travel, how long you stay, and the number of guests. It’s worth reading our specific guides to learn more about the accommodation options at your chosen destination:

Best hotels to see the Northern Lights in Norway

Northern Lights trip by rental car

If you decide to plan your own Northern Lights getaway , consider renting a car at your destination. This way, you can reach more remote locations where the light pollution is minimal and there are optimal conditions for seeing the Dancing Lady.

If renting a car isn’t a viable option, I recommend booking an organized Aurora tour . A knowledgeable guide will take you to the places where you are most likely to witness the Northern Lights.

Now, if you want to rent a car, I suggest booking it through the DiscoverCars platform. We always use this website, which scours the Internet for the cheapest rental car deals. That said, the price of your rental will depend on the type of vehicle, your travel dates, how many days you’re renting it for, etc. The chart below shows the approximate costs for rental cars at the top Northern Lights destinations.

For this table, I chose the cheapest 4×4 vehicle since this type of car will let you travel just about anywhere:

It’s always a good idea to book in advance to get the best deal. I also recommend our guide on how to find cheap rental cars , which will give you more tips for securing the lowest price possible.

Cost of a Northern Lights tour

If this is your first time taking a Northern Lights trip and you’re overwhelmed by the task of planning everything on your own, I highly recommend booking a guided overnight tour.

These Northern Lights excursions are led by guides who know exactly where to see the Northern Lights and the best times to spot them. Plus, they’ll be with you throughout the tour, so you can learn all kinds of interesting information about this natural spectacle. You can discover what causes the Northern Lights and how they’re formed, which adds a unique layer to the overall experience.

The cost of a Northern Lights trip depends on where you go and how long the tour lasts. To give you a rough idea, Northern Lights tours in Tromso, Norway , start at $120/person. Northern Lights tours in Reykjavík, Iceland , begin at around $60/person.

I’ll share more top-rated tour options later in this guide, but you can also check out our specific articles:

In addition to flights, hotels, rental cars, and tours, you should also factor other expenses like meals into your trip budget. It’s a good idea to get one of the best no foreign transaction fee credit cards so you can avoid extra fees when making purchases abroad. Also, read our guide on how to travel cheaply for more money-saving tips we’ve learned over the years .

Northern Lights tours in Alaska – 2024 Prices & dates

Alaska is one of the best places to take an Aurora Borealis tour . That said, the tour options here are more limited compared to other destinations. The best one we found is this Northern Lights and snowshoeing tour , which departs from Anchorage and goes to Fairbanks.

This 6-day Northern Lights travel package is ideal for those who enjoy the outdoors and hiking. Be aware that the excursion involves 3-8 miles of snowshoeing each day, so you should be in good physical shape. Not only will you enjoy the charming landscapes of the Last Frontier, but you’ll also see the Northern Lights in Alaska .

The reason why there are so few organized excursions in Alaska is because there are excellent Northern Lights hotels in Fairbanks , so many travelers come here to watch the aurora from their own room. There’s no place in the United States like Fairbanks to see the Northern Lights , so if you can get here, it’s totally worth it. A good idea would be booking a multi-day package and one of the Northern Lights tours in Fairbanks , giving you plenty of chances to spot the aurora.

• Departs from : Anchorage
• Duration : 6 days
• Price from : $4,060 USD/€3,777 EUR
• Highlights : Tour to see the Northern Lights, snowshoeing through the most amazing landscapes between Anchorage and Fairbanks

Northern Lights tours in Iceland – 2024 Prices & dates

Iceland is one of the best countries to see the Aurora Borealis, so there are many great tours here. If you want a Northern Lights excursion that takes care of everything for you, I recommend this 5-day tour or this 8-day trip .

In addition to the Northern Lights, these organized trips to Iceland take you to some of the country’s top attractions, such as Reykjavík , the Golden Circle , and the Blue Lagoon . The 8-day package, in particular, includes a visit to the Snæfellsnes Peninsula and some natural wonders in Southern Iceland. Of course, both options will let you enjoy the Northern Lights of Iceland , which are visible for 8 months of the year.

I really can’t recommend a trip to Iceland enough, not just for the Aurora Borealis, but for this country’s breathtaking landscapes. We love this place so much that we host photography trips to Iceland every year. So, if you’re a photography lover and want to learn how to photograph the Green Lady, consider joining us!

Otherwise, I suggest looking through the best Northern Lights tours in Iceland , especially these two:

Aurora Lights tours in Canada – 2024 Prices & dates

Canada is another good place to take a tour of the Northern Lights , especially if you’re traveling from the U.S. The best Aurora Borealis tours in Canada are this 4-day tour in Whitehorse , this 8-day tour from Yellowknife and this 15-day excursion from Vancouver .

If you’re looking for a Northern Lights package deal , consider the Whitehorse tour . You’ll spend 4 days in the capital of the Yukon, Canada, and join an expert guide to go aurora hunting. You’ll also visit the AuroraCentre, one of the top places in the area with a high probability of aurora activity, thanks to its minimal light pollution. This excursion also includes opportunities to explore other Whitehorse attractions like the S.S. Klondike National Historic Site and the Old Log Church Museum.

There is also this tour to Yellowknife, which lasts 8 days. Discover the interesting attractions in Yellowknife and its surroundings by day, then head out at night in search of auroras. You’ll also spend a few days enjoying the beautiful scenery and natural landmarks of Banff National Park , Jasper National Park , and Yoho National Park .

Yet another option is this excursion from Vancouver , which takes you to one of my favorite places in the world, the Canadian Rockies. This multi-day Northern Lights trip is the most comprehensive option. Not only will you see the aurora borealis, but you’ll also visit impressive sites like Jasper and Banff, Vancouver, Whistler, and Yellowknife. We saw many of these places during our Canadian Rockies trip , so I can tell you that you’re in for a treat. In addition to seeing the Northern Lights in Canada , you’ll witness stunning landscapes.

Northern Lights tours in Norway – 2024 Prices & dates

Norway has some of the cheapest Northern Lights trips , and its excursions appeal to all types of travelers. You’ll find everything from multi-day tours to hotels designed specifically for aurora viewing here. We love the gorgeous scenery of this country, so we also offer photography trips to Lofoten , one of the best places to see the Northern Lights in Norway .

If you’re not into photography, I recommend this Arctic experience , a Northern Lights expedition that goes to Tromso and the Lofoten Islands . There’s also this tour to the North Cape from Tromso, which includes unique activities like cruises, snowmobile tours, and visits to igloo hotels.

Aurora Borealis tours in Finland – 2024 Prices & dates

Finland , particularly Finnish Lapland , is one of the most popular places to take a Northern Lights vacation . If you go during the Christmas season, you can even meet Santa Claus! Given Finland’s extensive aurora borealis tourism , it’s home to some of the best Northern Lights hotels in the world .

If you want to join us in this gorgeous country, consider joining our photography tour in Finnish Lapland . Otherwise, I recommend this 5-day trip to Rovaniemi and the Arctic Circle or this 8-day tour from Helsinki to Rovaniemi and other sites in Lapland.

Rovaniemi is the best place to see the Northern Lights in Finland , which is why most Aurora tours go there. In addition, you can do other things in Rovaniemi, such as see Santa, visit a reindeer and husky farm, and ride snowmobiles.

If you take the tour that departs from Helsinki, you’ll visit Rovaniemi, then travel even further north to Yllastunturi , where your chances of spotting the Aurora are even better. Both of the tours below are especially fun to do with kids, thanks to the Christmas theme. That said, people of all ages will have a magical experience, as Finland is one of the best places to see the Northern Lights in the world!

Aurora Lights tours in Sweden – 2024 Prices & dates

If you’re interested in Northern Lights package deals in Sweden , I recommend this 5-day trip or this 8-day trip . Both excursions start in Luleå and explore the remote parts of Swedish Lapland, where there is minimal light pollution.

During the 5-day excursion, you’ll enjoy an icebreaker session aboard a boat, where you can spot wildlife like elk and reindeer. You’ll also have free time to explore, followed by a guided Northern Lights tour at night.

The 8-day trip gives you more time to see the Northern Lights in Sweden , along with its exciting tourist attractions. In addition to Luleå, you’ll see the town of Jokkmokk, spend a couple of nights in a Sami camp, and enjoy activities like skiing and snowshoeing.

Sweden is an excellent destination if you’re traveling from Europe, and you can find well-priced flights. So, if you’re still planning a 2024 Northern Lights trip , this country is a great choice!

Best deals on Northern Lights vacation packages

One of the best ways to find cheap trips to see the Aurora Borealis is by checking TourRadar’s online discounts . Just select the country you want to visit, and you’ll see a variety of all-inclusive travel packages at a glance.

By booking an organized trip, you won’t have to worry about finding accommodation, a rental car, and Aurora tours , since it’s all included. You won’t even have to look for places to eat since the guides will arrange everything for you. The only thing you must pay for separately is the plane ticket and any extra activities you want to do at your destination.

Getting a credit card with no foreign transaction fees is a good idea so you don’t have to worry about racking up extra unnecessary charges while abroad. Also, these aurora borealis tour packages don’t include travel insurance , so you should take out a policy before your trip. I always get insurance coverage for my trips, and Heymondo is my go-to choice, as they offer an excellent coverage-to-price ratio and pay your medical expenses upfront. You can take advantage of our Heymondo discount to save even more.

5% OFF your travel insurance

Booking a Northern Lights trip package is usually cheaper than organizing the trip yourself. It’s also much more practical and comfortable since all the details are taken care of for you.

Best time to take a Northern Lights vacation

Another nice thing about booking an organized Aurora Borealis trip is that you don’t have to worry about predicting the Northern Lights forecast. This is because these tours only take place during aurora season – typically in winter – when you have the highest likelihood of spotting the Green Lady.

Generally speaking, the best time to see the Northern Lights is from early September to mid-April , when there are more hours of darkness at high latitudes. However, depending on the country you travel to, this period may vary or be shorter.

To sum up, you want to visit during those months with the least cloud cover between September and March and avoid any days that coincide with the full moon.

You can find more information in our article highlighting when to see the Northern Lights in different destinations.

Tips to see the Northern Lights and enjoy your Aurora tour

Finally, I want to share some advice to help you fully enjoy your Northern Lights vacation . Speaking from experience, these tips will come in handy whether you’re signing up for an organized Northern Lights excursion or planning an independent itinerary:

• Choose a destination where the Northern Lights are common , such as those mentioned in this guide.
• Avoid traveling in the summer , as it’s the worst season for aurora viewing. Remember, aurora season runs from September to April, although the exact months may vary slightly depending on your destination.
• Northern Lights tours take place in high-latitude countries where the nights are quite cold, so wear comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing .
• Download the My Aurora Forecast app, which will help you predict where and when to see the Northern Lights. You can also consult our guide on how to predict the Northern Lights for more information, especially if you’re traveling independently.

• Pay attention to weather changes , as the Aurora Borealis can only be seen when there are clear skies.
• To see the Northern Lights, you need very dark skies, so avoid urban centers or places with light pollution .
• Be patient ! You may not see auroras on the first night, so it’s a good idea to book a multi-day Northern Lights trip .
• Your chances of seeing the aurora are higher if you take a guided Northern Lights tour , so I highly recommend booking an organized excursion.
• Check out our guide on how to photograph the Northern Lights to learn how to take the best souvenir photos. If you’re unsure about your photography gear, we have specific articles on the best cameras for photographing the Northern Lights and the best lenses for photographing the Northern Lights .

Last but not least, remember to enjoy the experience!

FAQs – Northern Lights excursions & trips

Before we wrap up, here are the most common questions about organized aurora borealis trips and the Northern Lights:

Curious or an opinion on a trip in late October. We will have 4 full days and can either go to Tromso or Iceland. Lofoten looks amazing but I wonder if we will have enough time given the 8hr drive from Tromso. I know flying into Bodo could be an option but do you think it it would be just too much for too short of a time? I know Senja looks great as well btu I think our preference would be to go to Lofoten if we choose Norway. Thanks for any advice.

Hi Gregg, For a 4-day trip to see the Northern Lights, I recommend going to Iceland. It’s the best option for shorter trips. You need at least a couple of days for Senja and about 4 days on the Lofoten Islands, so it’s definitely worth booking a separate trip for Norway! Ascen

I am 81 and depend pn a wheelchair. Alaska would be of interest and travel by water preferable, but not written in stone. I would have a companion.

Hope you can get to see the Northern Lights in Alaska, it’s an amazing place to see the Aurora 😉

This information is super helpful. However, due to time constraints, we may only have 2 days max for the northern light experience in Sweden. Further more, we are visiting in end sep/early oct. We also realised that most Tour groups only start end oct onwards. Do you think we should drop the plan entirely or would you have any suggested companies we can approach?

Hi Katherine, This one-day tour from Kiruna is a great option, but it’s available starting in mid-October. If you can change your travel dates, it’s well worth it!

Thank you, found your article helpful. I am in Sweden on a short visit and was planning to visit a place to see the Northern Lights either this weekend or next. (I know its way too ambitious to think I will get to see), but given my short trip, don’t have much choice. That said, would you recommend a place that I should attempt to go to?

Where exactly in Sweden are you? The northern, the better when chasing the Northern Lights!

Hello, I am interested on going to the Best Value Aurora Viewing Tour, for me a and my son. I want to know how much is for the tour. We are coming from San Antonio, TX. Do you have military veterans discount. We want to go on spring break around 3/15. What city do we flight into. Is lodging provided? Please advise. Thank you

We have just selected the best Northern Lights trips for 2022 but we don’t run these tours. I recommend you to contact directly with the organizer of the tour that you like by clicking on the links on our article. Anyway, March is a great time to see the Northern Lights and I wish you luck for your Aurora Viewing Tour.

Very interesting; useful information. Planning stages, this helps.

Thanks Mike! Good luck chasing the Aurora on your trips!

This was super helpful thank you! I hope to get myself together to do this before my 40 th birthday in February

Thanks Bradley! hope you can fulfill your Northern Lights dream 😉

10 Awe-Inspiring Northern Lights CANADA Tours You Can Book Now

Planning an aurora-hunting trip to Canada in 2024-2025? Make your trip a success with one of these inspiring Northern Lights Canada tours, plus tips for what months, locations and tour features you should focus on to maximize your changes of seeing the lights.

Canada offers some of the most awe-inspiring northern light vacation tours available in the world. Thanks to its large landmass, situated well within the auroral oval, there are countless vantage points from which to view the elusive lights. Some of the best destinations within Canada include Yellowknife, Churchill, as well as Whitehorse.

In this article, we’ll help you select a northern lights tour in Canada for your needs and budget, with our tour recommendations and tips for what to look for in a well-organized aurora tour.

Considerations for Booking a Northern Lights Tour in Canada

Before you begin your Northern Lights tour in Canada, there are several factors that you must take into consideration when booking a tour package. It is important to remember that the wilderness in Canada is very expansive, and while there are countless destinations within the country to visit, only a few offer the best vantage points imaginable.

Book Early for Northern Lights Canada Tours

Always remember that when you are planning your Canada Northern Lights tour, you need to book well in advance. Most of these tours run during the peak viewing season, which spans from the end of August until the beginning of April. Although it is possible to view the aurora borealis later in the year, due to longer summer days, it can be much more difficult.

You also need to pay close attention to the destination, because locations like Whitehorse, Yellowknife, and Churchill often see the largest influx of tourists during the peak season. If you are planning to visit some of the top destinations within the country, then make sure that you book in advance to ensure that you have available accommodations and excursions.

Choose the Right Timing

Best months & season for northern lights.

The best time to view the northern lights is during the winter months, at the peak of the solar cycle. Since light pollution plays an important role in determining how well you can view the elusive lights, choosing to visit Canada during the winter months increases your odds of capturing a glimpse of the ghostly lights as they dance through the night sky.

During the peak winter months, there are only a few hours of sunlight, to obstruct the viewing experience, which is why they are the most popular months of the year to visit Canada.

While the Aurora tour season runs from Late August to Early April, for the best chances of seeing the northern lights in Canada, aim for Late September to Early March .

Best Years for Northern Lights (Solar Cycle Timing)

At the same time, choosing to hunt for the elusive lights when the sun cycle is at its peak, also increases your chances of capturing a glimpse of the auroras. The sun follows a natural 11-year cycle, and during the highest point of solar activity, the amount of solar radiation being ejected by the sun towards the earth is increased exponentially. The lights are a creation of the charged particles from the sun, passing over the earth’s magnetosphere. We have recently entered a solar cycle peak, so for 2024-2025, it’s accurate to say there is no better time than now for a northern lights Canada tour.

Check out our articles on choosing the best time to see Northern Lights in Canada and the best years for seeing Northern Lights for more timing tips.

Best Locations for Northern Lights Canada Tours

As always, the most important factor when it comes to viewing the northern lights in Canada is location, location, location. You want to make sure that you choose a destination that is well within the auroral oval. The closer you can get to the magnetic North Pole, the greater the chances of capturing a glimpse of the auroras. Making sure to select a destination that gives you an unobstructed view of the northern horizon, also improves your chances of viewing them.

Yellowknife, Northwest Territories

Many aurora hunters have dubbed Yellowknife as the Aurora Capital of America. Due to its location well within the auroral oval, and consistently clear skies, the chances of capturing a glimpse of the northern lights in Yellowknife is greatly improved. This is why countless tour operators offer annual getaways to locations in and around Yellowknife.

Churchill, Manitoba

You will find the city of Churchill located along the shores of Hudson Bay. Due to the wide-open expanses of the Bay, you are provided with a clear vantage point to the north. Not only will you be able to hunt for the northern lights in Churchill, but you may also encounter polar bears, beluga whales, and many other Arctic wildlife.

Whitehorse, Yukon

Another popular destination is located within the rugged Yukon wilderness. Whitehorse is known as the gateway to the Yukon, and offers aurora hunters the perfect staging point for an amazing experience. From Whitehorse, you will be able to head out into the Canadian wilderness by dogsled, or even go on a fishing expedition. There is so much to see and do when you visit Whitehorse in the Yukon.

Embrace the Unpredictability of Nature

Remember, the ability to view the northern lights is a purely subject to the unpredictability of nature. It is common for last-minute weather conditions to change, affecting your ability to view of the elusive lights. As a result, it is important to be as flexible as possible, and be prepared to make changes to your itinerary as the local weather forecast and aurora alerts change throughout the day. Set aside multiple nights specifically for aurora hunting, in order to maximize your chances of viewing the natural phenomenon.

These reasons include a professionally organized tour route and timing with expert aurora borealis guides, who will do whatever they can to help you see the lights, as well as the obvious conveniences of having all your accommodation and meals laid out for you. For this service, they do come with a price tag.

If you’re looking for cheaper ways to see the aurora borealis, and you have a bit of a wild streak, an adventurous alternative is going on a northern lights camping adventure which we discuss in detail in that article, including specific camp spots to check out throughout North America. Another cheaper alternative is to book into a hotel in Canada renowned for its aurora borealis services plus a short one-night tour (or two) to take you out into the wilderness for some aurora-spotting.

Where can you see the Northern Lights?

Northern lights travel faqs, when is the best time to see the northern lights.

The Northern Lights are at their peak from late September to late March.

Where can I see the Northern Lights?

The best places to see the Northern Lights are all located in the “Auroral zone” – an area that stretches around the Northern Hemisphere at a latitude of about 66 to 69 degrees north – including parts of:

What causes the Northern Lights?

The Northern Lights are caused by electrically charged particles from the sun colliding with elements in our atmosphere (such as nitrogen and oxygen), creating brightly colored dancing displays of light.

Am I guaranteed to see the Northern Lights?

While Northern Light displays can never be guaranteed, as they are a natural phenomenon, our local leaders do their best to ensure you get to see nature’s greatest spectacle.

Can the Northern Lights be predicted?

Yes, the Northern Lights can be predicted to some extent.

The activity level of the Northern Lights depends on many things (of which some are predictable and some are somewhat random), including sunspots, coronal holes, solar flares and geomagnetic activity.

If you’re not an astronomer, your best bet is to check the local Aurora forecast – a KP-index number of 3 or higher means you have a good chance of seeing the Lights.

Can I see the Northern Lights with the naked eye?

Yes, you can see the Northern Lights with the naked eye. Humans can most easily see the green and white of the lights at night. A camera, however, does not have the same limitations as the human eye, so the colors may appear brighter and more brilliant in photos.

Can I photograph the Northern Lights?

Of course! There is no magic recipe for capturing the Northern Lights. Still, you’ll want to set your camera on a tripod and ensure it has a manual mode functionality, so you can adjust the aperture and shutter speed to capture the spectacular display best.

Are Intrepid trips accessible for travelers with disabilities?

We are committed to making travel widely  accessible , regardless of ability or disability. We do our best to help you see the world, regardless of physical or mental limitations. 

We are always happy to talk to travelers with disabilities and see if we can help guide them toward the most suitable itinerary for their needs and, where possible, make reasonable adjustments to our itineraries.

What are the Northern Lights?

August 15, 2024

7 minute read

According to a study published in the academic journal Nature Communications , the dancing northern lights are the result of collisions between gaseous particles in the Earth’s atmosphere with charged particles released from the sun’s atmosphere. Also, the variations in color are due to the type of gas particles that are colliding.

Well, if you’re interested in scratching this beloved collision of gaseous particles from the Earth and Sun off your bucket list, it’s just a matter of figuring out which incredible destination will be the setting for the experience.

Where Can You See the Northern Lights?

To see the Northern Lights, head to high-latitude regions near the Arctic Circle. Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Iceland all provide excellent views. In Canada, check out the Yukon, Northwest Territories, and northern parts of provinces like Alberta. In Alaska, travelers check out the starry views from cities like Fairbanks and Talkeetna. Occasionally, the lights like to make surprise appearances in locations you wouldn’t expect — in May of 2024 the northern lights were spotted in the UK, Tennessee, Minnesota, Washington state, parts of New England, and more.

When is the Aurora Borealis Visible?

The northern lights are best observed during the winter months, from late September to early April. This period offers the longest hours of darkness and the clearest skies, essential for viewing this natural light display. Weather conditions play a crucial role also. Clear, cold nights with minimal cloud cover and low light pollution provide the ideal setting. The auroras are most commonly visible in high-latitude regions near the Arctic Circle, where the geomagnetic activity is strongest and atmospheric conditions are most favorable.

Aurora Borealis Photography Tips

Tripods for northern lights photography

Regardless of the type of camera you own, using a tripod will greatly increase the quality of any picture you take of the northern lights. Whether using a smartphone, digital point-and-shoot camera, or Digital Single-Lens Reflex (DSLR) camera, a tripod stabilizes the device, and since you’ll be shooting in low light conditions, a longer exposure is required, meaning your lens will stay open longer, and even the slightest shaking will be noticeable.

Quick tip: stay away from the carbon fiber tripods - they break easily when temperatures are low.

Batteries and power packs

It's a known fact that cold temperatures drain batteries at a faster rate than warm temperatures. When waiting for the northern lights to come out and play, keep devices as warm as possible, especially smartphones and point-and-shoot cameras, which can easily be slipped into pockets to stay cozy. It would also be a good idea to consider carrying extra batteries for your device, or a portable power bank.

To capture the aurora borealis, your goal is to be away from light pollution — don't bring your own with you! Turn off your flash, as it’ll wash out the light display you’re trying to capture.

Since the northern lights are at such a distance, setting your camera's lens to focus to infinity will be your first chore. Some lenses have an infinity symbol (∞), which will simplify everything; others require a little set-up.

Should you not know how to complete the following steps, you will need to refer to your user's manual, or a local camera expert. Use the "Live View Mode" of your camera and zoom in. Focus on the most distant point in your composition, as this is how you will know that you've set your lens to infinity.

Camera settings

Now that you’ve set your focus, start working on how to best adjust your camera's settings. Depending on how bright the northern lights are, and how fast they're moving, the settings range from 30-second exposures at f/3.5 ISO 800 to 5-second exposures at f/2.8 ISO 3200. To minimize blur, increase the ISO and open up for only a few seconds.

Can You See the Northern Lights with an iPhone?

Capturing the Northern Lights with an iPhone has become increasingly feasible thanks to recent technological advancements. Modern iPhones, like the iPhone 14 Pro and later models, feature improved low-light capabilities and advanced Night mode settings, which are ideal for photographing the aurora borealis. By enabling Night mode and using a tripod or stable surface to keep your phone steady, you can capture stunning images of the shimmering lights.

Built with a massive special thermal glass window facing sky wards, the temperature inside the cabin always stays at a normal level. It also prevents the glass from not getting white frosted, hence keeping the view clear even when the temperature outside drops to under -30°C.

Accommodation

Day 2 - private husky safari including lunch in the wilderness with a private sauna back at the hotel.

After breakfast, get ready for today's four-hour husky safari - an unforgettable journey through breathtaking winter scenery.

On arrival to the husky farm we will provide you with a warm outer thermal suit, gloves and hat and then we will present your very own husky team. You will be given a lesson on how to drive the sledge and how to observe important hand signals given by your leader.

Each team consists of about six dogs, you, the driver, and your passenger, who is comfortably seated in the wooden sledge. The driver and the passenger can change places during the safari.

You stop half-way for a lunch in the wilderness and you can learn a lot about huskies from your guide, a professional musher.

Back at the hotel the private sauna and an outdoor jacuzzi offer a perfect way to relax after a day of activities.

Day 3 - Visit to a local Sámi reindeer herder and Northern Lights by Snowmobile in the evening

Nature connected visit to a local Sámi reindeer family and their herd. They live by a lake side surrounded by forest and hills. Meet the family reindeer, feed them and photograph them up close. Together walk a short distance in the forest near by. You will hear stories about how important nature diversity is for the reindeer and for the local nature.

Return to the Aurora Village for lunch and free afternoon to explore. This evening, discover Lappish food with a traditional local meal before heading out on a Northern Lights tour by snowmobile.

Meet your guide at Aurora Village reception and then watch for the Northern Lights dancing on the sky during your snow mobile drive through the frozen lakes and rugged snowy forests. Once reaching the special custom made aurora camp spot, a campfire will be started and you can start focusing your eyes and cameras towards the Northern sky. If the sky is clear there is a great chance to witness the most beautiful show the nature has to offer.

Hot drinks and snacks are served by the campfire.

Day 4 - Transfer to Kirkenes via Sami Siida Museum and explore the Snowhotel with King Crab Safari

Transfer by private vehicle, door to door from Ivalo to Kirkenes (3.4 - 4 hrs). Along the way, stop in Inari to visit the Sami Siida Museum - the national museum of the Sámi and a national special museum in Finland.

Every room in Kirkenes Snowhotel is like a small treasure. The rooms are equipped with everything needed for a comfortable night in the somewhat extreme conditions. The pictures look like you are sleeping on ice, but that would be too cold and too hard for your back. The beds are framed with ice blocks and the beds have comfortable mattresses with thermal insulation on top. You sleep inside a sleeping bag graded for -35 degrees celcius. However, snow is a very good insulator, so even when it's -35 degrees outside, the Snowhotel remains a stable -4 degrees.

Upon entering the gates of the Snowhotel, you will receive a welcome drink at the snowbar, made from berries collected from surrounding hills. It will then be time to make the ‘coolest’ hotel check-in around!

At 5pm, you will join a King Crab Safari - a very popular highlight for our travellers north. There is an option to do this safari on the departure morning too.

The Arctic King Crab is a sought after delicacy and you will learn how to catch, prepare and eat them. Your guide takes you out and you can lend a hand in sawing through the ice before your guide attempts to land you a few of these massive crustaceans. Enjoy the day's catch for lunch seated by a cosy fire in a small local farmhouse by the lake. You will travel to the lake by snowmobile sleigh.

After dinner you will have the opportunity to walk around the snowhotel and say hello to our resident reindeers, and with any luck, catch a glimpse of the northern lights.

Day 5 - Departure day or join a Norwegian Coastal Cruise

Transfer to the Kirkenes airport after breakfast. If you are interested in continuing down the coast of Norway on the Kystruten route, all the way to Bergen, we can arrange this for you.

Price per person, twin share. Please note that this tour differs from our other Northern Lights tours as activities are only with your own party, not small group tours which are more typical at all Lapland resorts.

All transfers and activities in this itinerary are private, except for the King Crab Safari which is a scheduled departure

Prices are early indicative for 2025.

Important Information

Please note that this tour can also be run in reserve, starting in Kirkenes.

General information about staying at the Kirkenes Snowhotel

Practical information about the kirkenes snowhotel., how is the snowhotel built.

First the Kirkenes Snowhotel engineers produce a lot of snow with water, cold air and snow-machines. Then they inflate a large balloon and cover this with snow. When this balloon is totally compacted with 2 metres of snow, they then deflate the balloon and remove it, leaving a circular room. For the corridors, they construct wooden frames and also cover them in snow before removing them.

When is the Snowhotel open?

Kirkenes Showhotel opens each year around 20 December and closes on the 20 April.

How cold is it inside the Snowhotel?

The temperature inside is a constant minus 4 degrees Celsius.

What do you sleep on inside the Snowhotel?

There are 20 bedrooms with normal mattresses. On top of the mattress is an extra thermal insulation layer. You are also provided a sleeping bag made for extreme expeditions, rated for minus 30 degrees celsius. Most guests however, find that it can get too hot inside the sleeping bag.

In the marketing pictures, it looks like the beds are made of ice! However, they have cleverly placed ice-blocks around the beds to create the illusion of an ice-bed! Sleeping directly on ice would be a bit drastic and not very comfortable.

How is the lighting in the rooms?

Every room is decorated differently which is why there  is also  different lighting used to create a different atmosphere. The lights are LED which gives off very little heat. For security reasons the lights are not switched off. We advise using eye covers to sleep if a small amount of light bothers you.

Do you have bathrooms and showers?

There have nice bathrooms, showers and a sauna in the building next to the Snowhotel. So you have to leave your sleeping bag for a few minutes. Brrr....

Who usually books a night at the Snowhotel?

It is usually couples. Average age is around 45, however their oldest guest has been 92 years old! Each year, the Kirkenes Snowhotel sees marriage proposals being made and of course, in such a beautiful place,  weddings for many happy couples take place.

Is the Snowhotel safe?

Yes. The Snowhotel is constructed to the calculations and standards made by a Finnish professor of snow building. The Snowhotel is still standing a month after they close for the season, even with the warmer weather!

Who should not sleep at the Snowhotel?

People with claustrophobia have had trouble sleeping in the Snowhotel. There is also a minimum age of 7 years to stay in the snowhotel. There is a warm lobby available in case people may feel uncomfortable during their night’s stay.

The Best Places for the Northern Lights

Getty Images

The northern lights, known as the aurora borealis, are a spectacular natural light show visible at certain times of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. They occur when electrically charged particles from the sun collide with gases in the Earth's atmosphere, creating vibrant streaks of blue, green, pink and violet dancing across the night sky. 2024 and 2025 are an excellent time to catch the northern lights: Solar activity will be at a peak, making for a more impressive experience, if you're in the right place.

The best places to see the aurora borealis have little light pollution, clear skies and no precipitation. The lights are only visible at northern latitudes when it's dark outside, so the months from September to April are best for seeing the aurora. There's also a Southern Hemisphere counterpart, the aurora australis; there are fewer easy spots from which to view this phenomenon, but if you're lucky, it can be equally brilliant.

For more information on the northern lights, scroll down to the FAQ section at the bottom of this page. Read on to discover the top destinations where you can see the kaleidoscopic northern and southern lights.

Fairbanks, Alaska

Fairbanks is by far one of the best places in the world to view the northern lights, as it's located directly under the auroral oval. This ring-shaped zone sits around the Earth's geomagnetic North Pole and is generally associated with the most vibrant aurora sightings. Visitors can expect to see the lights on an average of four out of five clear nights during aurora season, which lasts from late August to late April.

You can book a northern lights tour to see the aurora from the springs and tubs at Chena Hot Springs Resort. This excursion includes round-trip transportation to the resort from town, a soak in the hot springs, a visit to the Fairbanks Aurora Ice Museum and an aurora viewing tour; dinner and drinks centered around Alaska produce are an option extra with hot drinks supplied.

There's more to Fairbanks than just the northern lights: If you visit in late summer, consider family-friendly activities like a ride on the Riverboat Discovery or gold panning. For a festive holiday experience in the winter, head around 15 miles out of Fairbanks to visit the Santa Claus House in the city of North Pole. Travelers can also see ice sculptures in February and March at the impressive World Ice Art Championships or take a dog-sledding or snowmobiling tour .

Where to stay: For excellent chances of aurora viewing, book a private igloo at Borealis Basecamp, a top glamping resort located on 100 remote acres of boreal forest about 25 miles from Fairbanks. With activities like dog-sledding on top of aurora viewing, past visitors regularly describe it as a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Tromsø, Norway

Located about 220 miles above the Arctic Circle, Tromsø is one of several top spots to view the northern lights in Norway. At the darkest point of the aurora season – which runs from September to early April – the sun doesn't rise in this northern part of the country, although there is twilight during the day. With this level of darkness, there are more opportunities to see the aurora.

Tromsø itself is a small but lively city, so there's plenty to see and do when you're not looking up at the sky, including a visit to the beautiful Arctic Cathedral. In late January to early February, the city hosts the Northern Lights Festival, a 10-day music and performing arts event featuring a variety of musical genres.

Aurora chasers can view the lights on their own while in town, but to get a better view, it's recommended to head away from the city lights. Arctic Circle Tours is one company offering guided trips, with small groups for a more personal vibe. Alternatively, adventure-seekers can embark on an exhilarating husky trekking expedition in the Arctic wilderness.

Where to stay: For accommodations with harbor views, look no further than the Scandic Ishavshotel – guests love it for its convenient central location in the city, as well as its plus-sized breakfast buffet with plenty of choices.

Luosto and Rovaniemi (Lapland), Finland

Lapland is located within the Arctic Circle in the northernmost part of Finland. The northern lights are most visible here between the end of August and April – and approximately 200 times a year – so there are many opportunities for aurora spotting. Finnish Lapland is also known as home to the Sámi people (the only recognized Indigenous group in the European Union region), some 200,000 reindeer and Santa Claus – who can be visited in the town of Rovaniemi, the region's largest city and a great base for your aurora expedition.

Consider venturing roughly 70 miles north of Rovaniemi to the resort town of Luosto, set among the picturesque and hilly landscape of Pyhä-Luosto National Park. Here, you can also spend a magical evening outdoors under star-filled skies during a reindeer-drawn sleigh ride through the snow-covered forests. Jaakkola Reindeer Farm offers a reindeer sleigh tour to spot the aurora once weekly; it includes a stop to warm up at a bonfire camp with snacks, hot beverages and local fireside stories.

Where to stay: For a bucket list experience, watch the impressive light show from a glass igloo at Santa's Hotel Aurora & Igloos in Luosto. Past visitors love the cozy atmosphere here, boosted by amenities like saunas and log fireplaces. If you're sticking to Rovaniemi, the Arctic TreeHouse Hotel is a stunning choice, with designer cabins perched among the snow-covered taiga forest.

Orkney, Scotland

This group of captivating (and mostly uninhabited) islands, located about 10 miles off Scotland's remote northern coast, is one of the best places to see the northern nights in the U.K. Fall and winter are the best seasons to witness the aurora, also known in local Shetland dialect as the "Mirrie Dancers," with fall bringing the highest proportion of clear nights. A few places to see the spectacular light show include along the coast at Birsay or the Broch of Gurness, an archaeological ruin on a sweeping and dramatic coastline.

In addition to the aurora, Orkney is home to breathtaking coastal landscapes and more sheep than you can count (try some local lamb, if you can). Travelers can also visit the Heart of Neolithic Orkney, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with several monuments dating back 5,000 years.

Where to stay: During your visit, plan to stay in the historic town of Kirkwall, the capital of the Orkney Islands: The no-fuss Ayre Hotel offers harbor views, and past visitors compliment the hearty meals in the hotel restaurant. Spot the aurora close to town at Inganess Bay and Wideford Hill.

Yellowknife, Canada

Yellowknife, the capital of Canada 's Northwest Territories, dubs itself the "Aurora Capital of the World." Thanks to its position in the middle of the auroral oval, the city puts on one of the world's most awe-inspiring light shows. The period from mid-November to the beginning of April is the recommended time to spot the aurora, but it's also possible to see the aurora during more hospitable weather from late summer to early fall as the lights are visible up to 240 days a year.

Located on the northern shore of Great Slave Lake, Yellowknife boasts winter sports such as ice fishing and cross-country skiing. If you visit in March, plan to attend the monthlong Snowkings' Winter Festival, which features events and activities like a snow-carving competition, a snow castle, live music and more.

For a unique experience, book a tour through Aurora Village to view the lights. The property will pick you up from your hotel and take you to its site, where you can stay warm in a tent while sipping hot beverages. The Aboriginal-owned Aurora Village also offers activities such as dog-sledding or snowshoeing excursions.

Where to stay: Warm up in the fireside lounge at The Explorer Hotel in Yellowknife. Previous visitors note the warm and helpful staff as a strength here.

Jukkasjärvi, Sweden

The optimal time for seeing the illuminated skies in the northern part of Sweden, known as Swedish Lapland, is between early September and late March. The small Swedish village of Jukkasjärvi sits around 125 miles above the Arctic Circle on the Torne River and is an ideal locale for aurora viewing. You'll fly to the nearby Kiruna Airport to get here. With the village's origins dating back to the 17th century, you can still find some of the original homesteads, including an old timber cottage. Today the village boasts 800 residents – and more than 1,000 dogs.

Where to stay: If you're up for a chilly overnight adventure, reserve accommodations at the world's first permanent ice hotel, the aptly named Icehotel 365. Each of its artist-designed suites is sculpted from ice with a unique theme and maintains temperatures around minus 5 degrees Celsius (about 23 degrees Fahrenheit). The rooms also feature beds with reindeer hides and thermal sleeping bags so you can bundle up during the night. While you're at the property, take advantage of the guided "Northern Lights Safari on Snowmobile" or embark on the "Moose Safari on Horseback" atop an Icelandic horse.

Reykjavik, Iceland

October through March is the best time to chase the aurora borealis in Iceland . There are numerous natural parks and attractions throughout the country where you can view the show during the long and dark winter, but the capital city of Reykjavik also offers many options for accommodations, restaurants, tours and other activities for your visit. For optimum aurora viewing in the city away from the light pollution, head to Öskjuhlið. This wooded and hilly area in Reykjavik sits at 200 feet above sea level and has walkways and paths where you can see the nighttime show.

Atop this hill sits Perlan, which houses the only planetarium in the country and a museum featuring exhibits about Iceland. Perlan is also home to the world's first indoor ice cave and glacier exploratorium. During your visit, don't miss the panoramic views of the city from the building's fourth-floor observation deck. From this vantage point, you'll be able to see the Snæfellsjökull glacier; Keilir, a volcanic mountain; and Esja, the mountain of Reykjavik.

Where to stay: While in Reykjavik, splurge on an overnight tour with Buubble Tours. This experience includes breathtaking sightseeing spots and a night spent under the magical northern skies in a transparent bubble at the 5 Million Star Hotel. For longer stays, consider the eco-friendly Eyja Guldsmeden Hotel, with sweeping views of the city – guests love it for its cozy yet chic Scandinavian design.

Southern Iceland

While Reykjavik is a great aurora-viewing spot if you like having amenities close by, consider getting out into Iceland's stunning, otherworldly countryside for a unique backdrop for the northern lights. One unique place to see them is the black sand beach at Reynisfjara (but watch out for the dangerous waves here). Alternatively, head to Jökulsárlón, a glacial lagoon and seal habitat, where the aurora's reflections in the icy water are truly beautiful.

There's no shortage of tours that will stop by these locations and more for possible aurora sightings. Consider a 10- or 13-day tour around the country with Fun Travel, or a four-day option from Arctic Adventures. If you want to do things at your own place, it's also possible to self-drive – just know that road conditions can be icy, particularly in the depths of winter (although Icelandic roads are generally well-maintained).

Where to stay: Hotel Rangá is a formidable option for aurora-spotting. It offers a variety of special amenities, such as aurora wake-up calls, a lookout deck and snowsuits to keep you warm if you're outside viewing the lights. Past visitors praise Rangá for being a comfortable yet luxurious place to relax, be it in the outdoor hot tubs or the cozy and sociable bar.

Kangerlussuaq, Greenland

Greenland may not be the most accessible place to travel for viewing the northern lights, with limited flight options (mostly via Iceland), but those who make it here will be thrilled they did. The tundra of Kalaallit Nunaat – the Greenlandic name for the country – is one of the best places on the globe to see the aurora from September to early April.

For the more adventurous aurora seekers, head to the top of the Greenland Ice Cap for spectacular views of the lights. This impressive glacier covers 80% of the country and is accessible via the tiny town of Kangerlussuaq. Located on a fjord right along the Arctic Circle, the town, often described as a gateway to Greenland, was a former U.S. Air Force base and is now home to Greenland's main airport. The town is known for having clear skies on some 300 nights per year, so chances of a sighting are particularly good here.

Tour company Guide to Greenland offers various tours, from two-hour aurora-viewing trips to a tough but rewarding multi-night dog-sledding expedition across the ice. For a less strenuous experience, companies like Nordic Saga Tours offer cruises through the Arctic landscapes around Kangerlussuaq.

Viking cruise along Norway's coast

Courtesy of Viking

Embrace the winter and set sail for the Arctic Circle to experience the aurora in northern Norway. The 13-day "In Search of the Northern Lights" cruise itinerary with Viking departs from London for the North Sea with stops in ports of call that are top aurora-viewing locales, including Tromsø, Alta and Narvik, plus a stop in Amsterdam en route. The cruise ends in Bergen, Norway.

While on land, take in the natural beauty of the snow-blanketed landscapes and book bucket list excursions like a night spent in an igloo or a reindeer sledding adventure. You can also chase the lights into the wilderness by snowmobile, take a dog sled ride under the stars or view them from a Sámi tent atop the mountain Pæska in Alta. This Viking Ocean Cruises itinerary is offered with departure dates from mid-January to mid-March.

Headlands International Dark Sky Park, Michigan

Regarded as one of the top spots in the U.S. to see the aurora outside Alaska, Headlands International Dark Sky Park sits at the top of Michigan 's lower peninsula, less than 5 miles from Mackinaw City. While the northern lights are less common here due to the relatively southern location, the best time to catch a glimpse of this phenomenon is typically during the spring and fall – and appearances can usually be predicted a couple of days in advance. The park even maintains an online Clear Sky Chart so you can check the weather forecast before you go.

There are also other stargazing opportunities throughout the year at Headlands. During the summer months the Milky Way is visible across the sky, and late summer evenings entertain visitors with meteor showers.

Where to stay: If you're visiting between late April and the end of October, splurge on a stay at Mission Point Resort on Mackinac Island, where the aurora should also be visible. Guests describe this iconic property situated along the shoreline of Lake Huron as positively charming, thanks to its historic nature and manicured grounds. The resort also offers a host of outdoor activities from bike rentals to swimming.

Voyageurs National Park, Minnesota

Martha Shuff | Courtesy of Voyageurs National Park

Located on the international border between Minnesota and Ontario, Voyageurs National Park is an approximately 218,000-acre labyrinth of boreal forests, lakes and streams. Voyageurs is Minnesota's only national park; it's also unique in that the park's interior is accessible only by boat, unless you visit by snowmobile in winter. As a certified International Dark Sky Park , Voyageurs provides opportunities to view the Milky Way on clear evenings, especially in the summer. Year-round aurora viewing is also possible on evenings with clear dark skies, but chances are better during the winter, when it's dark for longer.

For a guided stargazing tour – including the Milky Way, the constellations and (if you're lucky) the northern lights – book with Voyageurs Outfitters. If you're on your own, park officials note that almost any campsite is a good spot for northern lights viewing and stargazing. You can also check out the boat launch areas around Ash River, Kabetogama Lake and the Rainy Lake Visitor Center for top-notch views.

Where to stay: Those who prefer to sleep in a warm, cozy bed instead of camping under the stars can make reservations at the Cantilever Distillery + Hotel, a boutique Trademark Collection by Wyndham property in the nearby town of Ranier, Minnesota. Visitors report that there's a lot to like here, from the industrial-chic rooms to friendly staff to top-notch cocktails in the active distillery on the premises.

Abisko National Park, Sweden

Given its Arctic location, Sweden is one of the prime spots for aurora viewing in the Northern Hemisphere, with Swedish Lapland at the top of the list. The fall and winter months (from September to March) offer the best opportunities to witness the spectacle, as there is more darkness than light during the days.

If you're up for the Arctic adventure, December is an ideal month to visit Abisko National Park, which some regard as one of the best places on Earth to see the lights dance across the sky. The park's mountainous terrain and clear dark skies offer dramatic front-row seats for viewing the northern lights. The Aurora Sky Station is one of the best vantage points to see the aurora in the park. Join one of the expert presentations to learn about the science behind this fascinating phenomenon.

If you'd prefer to chase the lights with a curated tour, professional photographers and aurora-chasing guides at Visit Abisko lead three- to four-hour tours throughout the fall and winter. If you can, try to join the tours in fall, as this time of year offers a unique opportunity to view the lights both in the sky and reflected in the lakes and rivers, which you won't see in the winter months.

Where to stay: For cozy Nordic vibes, stay at Abisko Mountain Lodge, which also offers activities like ice climbing and snowmobile tours in winter. Guests love the excellent restaurant here, which offers Swedish specialties ranging from salmon to moose.

Nellim, Finland

Courtesy of Wilderness Hotels

Located a stone's throw from the Russian border in Finnish Lapland, this remote Arctic destination is a top-rated locale to view the northern lights due to the lack of light pollution. You'll be seriously out of the way of any built-up areas, as there's not even a paved road into Nellim. The best time to visit is between December and early April. This village is a great place to hunker down in a lodge and relax while enjoying a slice of life in the Finnish wilderness.

Where to stay: The Nellim Wilderness Hotel offers a perfect base with year-round activities, including aurora-chasing tours by car, snowmobile or on snowshoes. You can even take a sleigh ride through the snow to a campsite on Lake Inari to spot the aurora in pristine nature.

Beyond standard rooms, the Wilderness Hotel also offers glass-roofed cabins, as well as classic log cabins and bubble-shaped accommodations for two where guests can watch the dancing lights through the glass roof above your warm, cozy bed. When you're not chasing the lights, enjoy other Arctic activities like a husky safari, ice fishing, snowmobiling or a day in the snow meeting the local reindeer.

Saariselkä and Kakslauttanen, Finland

These two towns are around 150 miles above the Arctic Circle, with a prime location under the auroral oval, allowing as many as 200 opportunities per year to see the northern lights (weather permitting, of course). This area in Finnish Lapland is known for its stunning scenery, Sámi culture, cross-country and downhill skiing, and Urho Kekkonen National Park – one of Finland's largest.

Ski enthusiasts can roll two trips into one by hitting the slopes by day in Saariselkä and aurora spotting by night at Finland's northernmost ski resort. March into early April is the best time to view the aurora, as the Finnish Meteorological Institute notes that the weather is usually clearer at this time of year. But it's possible to see the northern lights at any time during the season from late August to early or mid-April.

Where to stay: Seven miles south of Saariselkä sits the village of Kakslauttanen, where you can book two- or four-person Glass Igloos at the Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort. The new Kelo-Glass Igloos, which sleep up to six, mix the comforts of a log chalet with the visibility of the glass roof; enjoy a private sauna, a fireplace and more. There's also an impressive selection of year-round tours and activities at this resort, including northern lights excursions on snowmobiles or by horse-drawn carriage.

Stewart Island, New Zealand

Courtesy of RealNZ

Although they may be isolated, some far-south destinations offer the chance to see the aurora australis – or southern lights. While you might be able to see them year-round in some locations (just as with the northern lights), certain months are better for aurora viewing in the Southern Hemisphere. Stewart Island is regarded as one of the top spots to see the brilliant display in New Zealand , with 85% of the island encompassed by Rakiura National Park, so there are few people and virtually no light pollution. You can reach Stewart Island by flying in from Invercargill or taking a ferry from Bluff.

New Zealand's winter months – June to August – are the best time to see the southern lights; spring and fall are also not bad times to spot them. The brighter summer months, between December and February, make it more difficult to spot the aurora, but there's still a chance you'll catch a glimpse between midnight and 4 a.m.

Where to stay: Consider reserving a room with at Stewart Island Lodge, an intimate bed-and-breakfast. This beautiful property is just minutes by foot from the village of Oban, and the property will pick you up at the ferry terminal for your stay. Past visitors rave about the spectacular views of Halfmoon Bay and the Foveaux Strait from both the rooms and lodge terrace.

Tasmania sits approximately 150 miles south of mainland Australia. This mountainous island is one of relatively few places on the planet where it's theoretically possible to see the aurora 365 days a year due to its latitude, which allows for full darkness even on summer nights. The capital city of Hobart is the easiest point of entry: It's home to Tasmania's largest airport and serves as a convenient base. The city's burgeoning food and cultural scenes will also give you plenty to see and do.

From here you'll be able to reach several great viewing locations with unobstructed and open views of the sea along the southern and southeast coastlines, like Goat Bluff and Tinderbox Bay. When you're not staring at the night sky, splurge on a once-in-a-lifetime helicopter flight with Tasmanian Air Tours. Depending on your whims, your private pilot can whisk you away to soar over the sea cliffs; stop at a local winery to sample local vintages; or head south to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Port Arthur , Tasmania 's historic and most notorious prison.

Where to stay: Reserve accommodations at The Tasman, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Hobart. The historic luxury property is situated along the lively waterfront area with harbor views. Past guests admired the historic building housing the hotel and loved the heritage rooms featuring gas fireplaces for those cold Tasmanian nights.

Expedition cruise to Antarctica

If you're one of the lucky few people on the planet to travel to the southernmost continent on Earth, it may be pricey, but you'll have an adventure of a lifetime in Antarctica, especially if the aurora illuminates the sky. The southern lights are most visible in the winter months (between March and October), but due to weather conditions, only researchers brave the Antarctic winter – and they mostly stay indoors.

However, all hope is not lost if you seek to view the aurora australis in Antarctica. Late-season expedition cruises to this continent offered in March also bring the opportunity to view the southern lights and enjoy the end of Antarctica's fleeting summer. As the days shorten in length, you may encounter light snow across the extreme landscape and ice starting to form on the water's surface.

When it comes to wildlife viewing, humpback whale sightings are abundant, and you'll still see penguin colonies – including king and gentoo penguins. You can also keep your eyes peeled for elephant seals, leopard seals, wandering albatross and other species of birds. When night falls on clear evenings, look for the light show in the southern sky. Companies that offer March voyages include Swoop Antarctica, Atlas Ocean Voyages, Silversea Cruises , Aurora Expeditions and Hurtigruten Expeditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

There's no one location that's widely accepted as the best place to see the northern lights. However, the strongest light displays are within what's called the "auroral oval": a rough circle around the Earth's magnetic northern pole that tends to occur around 60 to 70 degrees of latitude. The oval's exact size expands and contracts (some more southerly destinations can fall under it when the aurora is particularly strong), but there are certain locations that generally fall within the oval most of the time.

These places include:

• Central and northern Alaska
• Large areas of Yukon, the Northwest Territories and northern Quebec in Canada
• Southern Greenland
• Far northern Norway, Sweden and Finland

Within these areas, it could be argued that Iceland is the best place to see the aurora as it experiences much milder temperatures than some other areas within the oval. But this is subjective, and some travelers may prefer a location like Yellowknife in Canada for a full-on, very cold Arctic experience.

The northern lights are only visible when it's dark out. Since many of the best places to see them are so far north that they experience near-constant daylight in the summer, you'll generally want to schedule a trip between late August and early April. However, within this time period, there's some debate about the best time to catch the lights. For example, the aurora tends to be more active around the September and March equinoxes due to stronger solar winds – but on the other hand, your chances of seeing them may be higher in the depths of winter, since there's longer nights and therefore a longer window in which they might appear.

In more southern locations like Minnesota, it may be possible to see the light show in the summer months, but it's still advisable to go at a time when the nights are longer. It can also be worth trying to schedule your northern lights trip when there's a new moon: While the aurora can shine through moonlight, it may be harder to see if there's a full moon.

Of course, cloudy weather can block the aurora even if you go at the right time of year. So, it may be wise to research the local weather patterns at your chosen destination to find out if there's a month where you can expect clearer skies. In many cases, though, there's a little luck involved.

These two countries can offer excellent views of the northern lights, since both are directly under the typical auroral oval. Yet there are some differences to be aware of.

In Norway, you'll need to head to the north of the country to catch the aurora: While they have been sighted in Oslo , the capital and largest city, it's too far south to be a reliable vantage point. Cities like Tromsø are popular spots, but direct flights there are only possible from some European cities, so North Americans will have to take connecting flights. On the other hand, Iceland is generally easier to reach, with direct flights to its capital, Reykjavik, from a large number of U.S. destinations (particularly from the East Coast) with no further connection required.

Since clear skies are key for seeing the northern lights, weather is another factor to consider. In November, December and March, Reykjavik has statistically slightly more frequent clear skies, while in January and February, Tromsø is a little better, but the difference isn't big: Both places have clear skies only around 25 to 30% of the time in these months. Reykjavik has slightly warmer weather, though, so between that and the ease of access, it has a slight edge over Norway for seeing the northern lights.

Alaska and Iceland are known for stellar aurora light shows, so deciding between them may depend on which destination you find more convenient and more to your tastes. In Alaska , the city of Fairbanks is considered a great spot to catch the northern lights. (They can still be seen elsewhere in the state – for example, in Anchorage, although they're not so common in more southern locations like Juneau). The advantage of Fairbanks is that you won't need a passport , yet there aren't many direct flights from the lower 48 states. Despite being an international destination, Iceland may be more accessible (particularly from the eastern U.S.), thanks to fairly regular flights to Reykjavik from numerous American cities.

Fairbanks does offer statistically better weather for aurora viewing: It has clear skies more often than Reykjavik, particularly in March when the Alaska city experiences them around 45% of the time (compared to about 25% for Reykjavik). But you'll have to be able to tolerate the cold. While temperatures in Reykjavik hover around freezing in midwinter, Fairbanks is a veritable deep freeze, with average highs around 5 degrees Fahrenheit down to lows colder than minus 5 in December.

The ability to go far into the arctic allows travelers the benefit of much higher chances of catching the Aurora Borealis

Home / Russia Trip Styles / Northern Lights Tours

Why our Russia Northen lights tours are the ultimate Aurora hunting experience?

If seeing the awesome cosmic spectacle of the Northern Lights is on your bucket list, you’ll know that there are a few locations where you can make this dream travel experience a reality. The prerequisite is that you need to be in an above the Arctic Circle, something that only parts of eight countries in the world can lay claim to. The Scandinavian nations remain the most popular places for embarking on a Northern Lights tour, but did you know your chances of witnessing the phantom lights of Aurora Borealis are equally as good in Russia?

So, why set your sights on a Russia Northern Lights tour ? The fact that this region is still relatively unknown offers a wonderful advantage. The lack of crowds means Russia is the perfect place to experience the ultimate feeling of being one with nature. There are several wonderful destinations for Northern Lights viewing in Russia, all with differing landscapes, cultures and additional activities to enjoy.

Experience Aurora Borealis in Russia - highlights:

• Most Russia northern lights tours start from the port city of Murmansk , the capital of the Kola Peninsula. With a population of 300,000, it’s the largest town located above the Arctic Circle and hosts an unusual mix of Russian, Finnish and indigenous culture. Apart from being a surprisingly lively city, the hilly vantage points outside town offer one of the most unique views of the Aurora Borealis - glowing bright above the manmade city skyline and its eerie harbour.
• Venture further into the Kola Peninsula where you’ll have the opportunity to see the Northern Lights dancing and shapeshifting over the pristine polar tundra.
• Visit the rustic settlements of the indigenous Saami people of the Kola peninsula and experience their favored method of winter transport - the traditional husky dog sled!
• Travel to the Arctic Circle on an incredible Russian train tour. The journey from St Petersburg on your very own “Polar Express”, then cross the border into the Norwegian town of Kirkenes to marvel at the enchanting Snow Hotel and search for the elusive lights.
• Join an Arctic expedition isolated region of Yamal , home to the nomadic, reindeer-herding Nenets. Spend some time in their winter camps and with luck, you might look up to see the Aurora in all its celestial glory, shimmering above the starkly beautiful Arctic taiga.

To be rewarded by the sight of one of the earth’s most spectacular natural phenomena means covering vast distances - and that sort of travel comes with a cost. This is especially true of the extremely popular Scandinavian destinations. But there are alternatives that don’t cost a fortune. Murmansk is considered the most affordable place to see the Northern Lights. And, the Russian Arctic is far more accessible than you might think. From St Petersburg, Murmansk is a mere two-hour flight and two and a half hours from Moscow.

Not only does the far north of Russia provide some of the most reliable places on earth to witness the winter lights (generally between November and March), it also offers majestic snow-covered tundra, taiga, and the chance to discover the fascinating cultures of the ethnic Saami of the Kola Peninsula and the Nenets of Yamal.

Northern lights in Murmansk - Quest for Aurora Borealis

Spend 3 full days in Arctic city of Murmansk on the Kola Peninsula, where you will enjoy snow activities such as husky dog sledding and snowmobiling during days and will get a chance to hunt Aurora Borealis at nights.
