Aurora (Photo) Tour

From September through mid-April auroras can be seen relatively often around Oulu. In autumn Northern lights can produce stunning reflections in the water. With favorable conditions during winter, it is possible to view the magic lights on the frozen Baltic Sea, a very unique experience.

This 4-hour tour starts usually in the city center of Oulu at 20:00 hrs when we will head out into nature to be searching for the aurora borealis. You will get a lot of background information regarding the Northern lights as well as tips and tricks to get the best out of your camera during the night.

Our van has a parking heater which warms up the interior space. If you feel cold, you can warm up in the van anytime. Nevertheless, it is important to wear proper clothing against the cold.

As always and everywhere, the weather is an unknown.
