We drive as far as possible from the city, within 150 km;
We find a clear sky and a good point to observe the Northern Lights;
We expect the beginning of the heavenly performance, from about 1 to 3 hours;
When the Northern Lights appear, we begin a photo shoot.
*The Northern Lights generally do not appear immediately, this is due to its activity, or to weather conditions. For example, sometimes you have to wait until the clouds disperse.
*Until the Northern Lights begin, we can arrange a photo shoot in the night forest, against the background of the starry sky or the Milky Way. We also always have hot tea and cold snacks / sweets. You can always get warm in the car / bus.
* If restrictions are imposed on the entrance to museums for a certain number of people, we can serve group requests with the division of groups into smaller ones, with the predominant use of the same transport (or with a different number and capacity of transport), but with a large number of guides.
** Some museums or excursions can be excluded from the program if circumstances beyond the control of the tour operator require it (time constraints due to covid-19 / bans on the operation of facilities). At the same time, as far as possible, we will offer an alternative replacement.
