Northern Lights Targeted Multi-activity Weeks
A week-long autumn multi-activity package built around evening and night-time activities to maximise your chances of seeing and photographing the northern lights.
The longer you stay in the arctic, the more likely you are to experience the northern lights. Most people know our longest winter packages, the 8-day wilderness safari weeks, but few realise that autumn is actually one of the best times of year to see the aurora, and to see the rich colours of Lappish nature.
- Focused on evening and night-time aurora activities
- Evening workshop with aurora photography tips (tripods available to rent)
- Dinners in a traditional Arctic kota on the farm
- Reindeer farm, Saami & nature museum, and national park hikes
- Lake-side sauna evening and a day trip to Juhl's Silver Gallery in Norway
- Autumn is one of the best times of year to see the northern lights
Aurora Magic
For that reason we created a week-long autumn multi-activity package focused on the evening and night-time activities that maximise your chances of seeing and photographing the northern lights.
Enjoy afternoons and evenings among blazing fall-coloured trails, frosty mornings and sparkling lakes, watch the landscape bathe in gold as evening falls, then sit back in wonder at the majestic nocturnal display.
The 7-day autumn activity week
Day 1: Transfer to Hetta, where a meal and accommodation await in a local family hotel.
Day 2: An afternoon and evening in the life of a husky guide, with an evening workshop introducing the northern lights and aurora photography tips (tripods available to rent), dinner in a traditional arctic kota on the farm, and a walk onto a local ridge to look for lights.
Day 3: A cultural afternoon: a reindeer farm visit, the local Saami and nature museum, and a hike up Jyppyravaara hill with a talk on local berries and mushrooms, a chance to gather some, and sausages and marshmallows round a campfire while watching for the northern lights.
Day 4: Choose between a hike or fat-bike excursion to the wilderness hut of Sisanki, or a canoe trip across the lake to our traditional north-facing 'mökki', returning at dusk.
Day 5: A hike into the national park to the top of Pyhäkero, then an evening relaxing in a lake-side sauna, eating sausages, swimming and looking for the lights.
Day 6: A daytime visit to the spectacular 'Juhl's Silver Gallery' in Kautokeino, Norway, and a final traditional meal in the farm kota.
