Northern Lights sightings depend on solar activity and local weather, so they cannot be guaranteed. Your guide uses the latest aurora and weather forecasts and takes you to dark areas away from village lights to maximise your chances, but cloud cover or low geomagnetic activity can prevent a sighting.
If you want more opportunities, add an extra aurora activity night or extend your stay, because multiple evenings usually increase the chance of catching clear skies and active conditions.
Even if the aurora does not appear, the experience is still worth it. Lapland’s winter night is often quiet and atmospheric, and we recommend relaxing, enjoying the stillness, and taking in the dark-sky wilderness as part of the evening adventure.
