Supported by real-time updates from our large team across Lapland, this is a true Aurora hunt focused entirely on results. Professional photography is included, so you leave with high-quality images of your night under the Northern Lights.

We did three tours with Arctic GM (Snowshoeing, Northern Lights, Snowmobil Safari) and we always had great guides providing a lot of information about the trips and about what we could see. The experience was great and the tours very well organized. I would rate the snowshoe hike with Corantin best!
Absolutely incredible Northern Lights tour! We had an amazing viewing opportunity between two frozen lakes near the Swedish border after about a 2-hour drive, and it was completely worth it. The scenery alone was stunning, and when the aurora appeared, it felt surreal. It was a truly stunning experience with professional photography included by the host! Our guide was fun, knowledgeable, and clearly very experienced. She kept the atmosphere relaxed and enjoyable throughout the trip while also sharing interesting information about the Northern Lights and the area. Left with some cupcakes and warm juice on the way back after everybody was satisfied. Highly recommend this tour to anyone hoping for a memorable aurora experience in a semi-private setting!
It was a nice experience and we were lucky to admire the northern lights.
Punctual, welcoming, and efficient. Both are well-prepared professionals and always available. Great experience, absolutely recommended.
It was a spectacular experience, specially when there was no viewing in the previous 2 days
Great trip great guide multiple sightings
We saw the most gorgeous aurora TWICE in one night and had the best time and the photos to prove it. Thank you for this amazing experience would recommend to everyone every day!! 🤍
I went on an aurora tour with my family, and it was truly amazing. We couldn’t see the aurora clearly at the first spot, but the guide kept working hard to find a better location, and eventually we got to see a beautiful aurora. It’s definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience that everyone should try at least once.
An experience to live, made even more spectacular with the staff of the Artic agency.
The experience was out of this world. Our tour guide was excellent. Very knowledgeable and great attitude.
