About the activity
Hop on a bus and discover the wild landscapes of Finnish Lapland with an expert who will help you find one of the Earth's most incredible natural phenomena on this Northern Lights photography tour from Levi! Located in western Finnish Lapland, Levi is internationally known for being an excellent ski resort and a hub for Northern Lights Sightings. The Aurora Borealis (or more colloquially known as the Northern Lights) is a natural phenomenon that occurs when the Earth's atmosphere and the sun's particles interact, which results in colorful, sometimes undulating lights projected in the night sky. It is a mesmerzing phenomenon; however, observing it is not that easy, since it is only available between the months of September and April, you need an environment with very little light pollution to observe them, and you will only be able to see it in the "Aurora Oval", which is a demarcation near or around the Arctic circle where the lights are usually visible. Though no one can guarantee a sighting, Finnish Lapland is one of the best places in the world to observe this phenomenon, thanks to its large expanses of wilderness.
On the day of your Northern Lights photography tour from Levis, you'll have the option to be picked up within a 10 km radius from Levis before the experience starts. You'll head to the Safartica headquarters in the city to meet your expert instructor, who will give you a thorough safety briefing and distribute the high-quality equipment you'll use throughout the night, which will include a thermall suit, snow boots, gloves, a scarf, woollen socks, and a beanie. You'll have some time to gear up and once you're ready, it's time to go!
You'll hop on the warm bus and your instructor will take the wheel to take you along approximately 200 kilometers of Finnish Lapland wilderness search of the Northern Lights with deep knowledge of the region. Your instructor is experienced at finding the Northern Lights, and they know the places where they usually make their appearance, however, since the Aurora is a natural phenomenon, they can't guarantee sightings because they can't control when the lights appear. If and when you find the amazing Northern Lights, you'll get off the bus for a fun and educational photo session, where your instructor will take amazing photos of you and your loved ones, as well as give you excellent tips to successfully nail night photography and quirky effects. When you get a little hungry, your instructor will offer you a warm drink and gingerbread cookies to keep you warm.
Keep in mind that, though your instructor will lend you good quality winter equipment, you should also come prepared with thermal layers and even a good wind and waterproof jacket to wear under the suit if it's very cold outside. You should also bring a hat, a scarf, warm winter shoes, a hat, and anything else you might need (medication, extra snacks) to spend 4 hours on this amazing Northern Lights photography excursion from Levi!
