Overview

This tour only runs in the winter months from Sept 1st through May 1st. This trip will be focused on the Aurora Borealis aka Northern Lights. It offers some of the most amazing views that Mother Nature offers. There is no disappointments on this trip as you will return home with those ultimate memories and photographs of a lifetime! Our trips are not fast and quick as we love watching the lights too! Expect hours of fun, great conversation and learning how to photography the lights.

For photographing the Northern Lights we highly suggest a DSLR camera with a lens that is capable of at least a f/2.8 18-35mm and a decent tripod for best pictures. The Northern Lights can be photographed with smartphones as well. But know that due to taking a time exposure, your best results will be with a DSLR camera. It can be cold (below zero), so be sure to dress appropriately for the weather conditions and have an extra camera battery. The cold temperatures can drain a battery quickly.

What To Expect

Our Northern Light excursions has an award winning professional photographer working with you to get that ultimate photo of a lifetime. You will get personalized photographic instructions and that alone will pay for this trip and more. We don’t rush as our trips typically last 8 to 10 hours. Our trips are catered for everyone and our locations are handicap accessible so we can accommodate most everyone. Your guide also takes photos during the night and you will get copies of them in high resolution for free!

We subscribe to several paid subscription services to track the Aurora Forecast for best viewing probability, weather/cloud conditions, as well as the locations for viewing them. Mother Nature is always the one in control of the lights and there is never a guarantee that the lights will show.

If there is less than a 30% chance of seeing the lights the trip will be canceled and a full refund issued. From a 30-70% chance of seeing the lights, the customer has the option to either, cancel with full refund or continue with the trip. At 70% or higher of seeing the lights the trip will continue with no chance for refund. We have a 98% success rate!
