This is real aurora hunting, not a bus to a fixed campfire. No pre-selected routes — every night is planned fresh from live cloud maps and solar data, and we drive wherever the sky is clearest: across Lapland, into Sweden, or further if the forecast promises a show.
And while we watch for the aurora, the second hunt begins. Our smart telescope — Repo, named after the firefox of Finnish legend whose tail sparks the northern lights across the Arctic sky — locks onto galaxies, nebulae and planets in real time. You choose the target: Saturn's rings, the Andromeda Galaxy, the Orion Nebula. You can watch it live on our screens, or scan a QR code and follow the view on your own phone. Repo will ride in the van with us and powerful enough to photograph galaxies. (At −30 °C, even Arctic-tested technology sometimes stays in the warm van — the aurora hunt goes on regardless.)
What sets us apart:
Max 8 guests, one van, every night — personal, crowd-free, and you're hosted by the owner himself
Real chasing: no fixed spots, no camping — live forecasts decide the route, unlimited ambition on distance
Honest hunting: if the whole region is hopelessly clouded, we cancel proactively and refund 100% — we never run a hunt that can't succeed
Everything delivered: Professional aurora photos of you, Repo's deep-sky images from your night, plus 360° video and social-ready content — Dropbox link within a day, and we'll happily tag you Instagram Lapland X Tours
No hidden fees, we will never ask you to pay extra even if the tour lasts longer and further away in distance
