Nordic / Scandinavia Northern Lights Trip Reviews
- 5 Day - Snæfellsnes & South CoastBeing a solo traveler I didn’t know what to expect but the tour was amazing, very well organised and on time which made it stress free. My guide hodei was really charismatic and attentive to all the people on the tour. He made sure we made the most of the day light we had, gave recommendations on food and was there to answer any questions. The group become quite close which made the experience 10x better! Definitely recommend! 
- 5-Day Northern Lights Hunt & Glacier Lagoon TourThe tour is perfect if you are looking to cover major attractions of Iceland. It is value for money and recommended if you are travelling to Iceland for the first time. The accommodation provided is excellent and the guide and the bus throughout was very very comfortable and guide was always available in case of any questions. Please book a tour guide with Ellert who is absolutely fabulous. I would recommend this trip to everyone who are visiting Iceland for the first time. 
- 5 Days Land of Northern LightsWe had the upgrade and the Hotel was not bad there were a few minor issues with the first room, Plaza Central, which had a slightly warn carpet. The Breakfasts in the two hotels were very good were presented and offered a very wide choice. the staff were all very friendly and all spoke excellent English. The Tour was well organised and our tour guide, knew her business and the Bus always seemed to arrive at the various, sites when there were few other buses there. This did add to the enjoyment as we were never, rushed or crowded. Going early on the day prior to the Tour starting and leaving late on the day after allowed, us to have a good look around Reykjavik., We missed the Lights themselves but we may return again. 
What our customers ask about Scandinavia Northern Lights Tours
- When is the best time to see the Northern Lights in Nordic/Scandinavia?- The Northern Lights are most visible from late September to late March in Nordic/Scandinavia with peak viewing during the winter months of December through February. The darkest skies appear between 5 PM and 2 AM particularly in locations like Tromsø Norway and the Jokkmokk region of Swedish Lapland. The Aurora Village in Ivalo Finland provides an excellent viewing setup with glass-roofed cabins that let visitors watch the lights from their beds. According to a TourRadar traveler "We saw the Northern Lights on multiple nights dancing across the sky - it was absolutely magical and worth staying up late for!" 
- What are the best locations in Nordic/Scandinavia for viewing the Northern Lights?- Key viewing spots concentrate in areas with minimal city lights including Tromsø in Northern Norway Swedish Lapland's Jokkmokk region and Finnish Lapland near Rovaniemi and Ivalo. These locations sit within the "aurora zone" where viewing conditions are most favorable. Popular viewing sites include Camp Tamok near Tromsø and Aurora Village in Ivalo which offer specialized facilities and expert guides. A TourRadar traveler shared "From staying in an amazing glass igloo in Finland to chasing lights in remote Norwegian fjords each location offered unique and breathtaking views of the aurora." 
- What type of accommodation is available during Northern Lights tours?- The range of places to stay spans from glass-roofed aurora cabins to standard hotels and wilderness lodges. Visitors can book specialized viewing cabins at Aurora Village in Ivalo modern rooms at Scandic Bryggen Hotel in Honningsvag or unique stays like the Ice Hotel in Swedish Lapland. Some tours include stays at Sápmi camps with heated tents. As one TourRadar traveler noted "The accommodations were perfectly chosen for aurora viewing - from our glass igloo at Aurora Village to the remote wilderness cabins each offered a different perspective on the lights." 
- What additional activities can I experience besides Northern Lights viewing?- Daytime activities in Nordic/Scandinavia complement nighttime aurora viewing. Options include dog sledding trips with Alaskan huskies visits to reindeer farms snowmobile rides through Arctic terrain and cultural exchanges with Sami communities. Many tours add ice fishing snowshoeing and stops at places like Santa's Village in Rovaniemi. A TourRadar traveler shared: "From meeting the reindeer dog sledding to seeing the Northern lights skiing and snowshoeing and meeting wonderful Sami people I cannot recommend this trip enough." 
- How many nights should I plan to maximize chances of seeing the Northern Lights?- Planning 3-4 nights in the aurora zone gives visitors the best chance to see the Northern Lights given changing weather patterns. Popular itineraries like the 7-night Swedish Lapland tour and 5-night Norway tour schedule multiple viewing opportunities at different locations. A TourRadar traveler noted: "We had three different chances to see the lights over five nights in Tromsø and were successful on two occasions - having multiple nights really increased our chances." 
- How much does a typical Northern Lights tour in Nordic/Scandinavia cost?- Tours range from 1745 USD to 4985 USD for 5-7 day trips. Costs vary based on lodging choices included activities and travel dates. High-end experiences such as Finnish Lapland tours with glass igloo stays typically cost more. Tour prices generally cover lodging some meals guided activities and transfers between sites. A TourRadar traveler shared: "While not a budget destination the unique experiences and quality of services made it worth every penny."
