This is an evening tour designed for guests of all skill levels, we make sure you have the knowledge and equipment to capture stunning images of the Aurora Borealis and the Arctic night.
On this Northern Lights Photo tour we want tomaximize your chances and ability to capture the lights. In the forest, it is dark, with millions of stars in the sky. Your guide will teach you how to handle the camera to get excellent photos of the upcoming show. We explore the best places for the Aurora around Kiruna, and every night, we make a new decision on where to go. This is a crucial aspect of our strategy, as we try to find clear skies even if it is cloudy in town. Please note that we try our best to find clear skies, but cannot guarantee that you will see Northern Lights during this tour.
