F.A.Q

Is it guaranteed to see the aurora during the trip? Do you need to sign up for a tour?

This activity cannot guarantee 100% visibility of the Northern Lights. The Aurora is a purely natural phenomenon, not artificial light. The northern European aurora season is from mid to late September every year. In mid-April of the following year, it mainly depends on whether there is darkness. The aurora is a purely natural phenomenon and cannot be observed during daytime, strong light pollution, or cloudy weather conditions. Detected. If local conditions are not available, it is recommended to join a special light chasing group. The local guide has many years of observation experience and will drive to the specific location. Where there are observation conditions, the probability of seeing the Northern Lights can be increased.

When does the icebreaker activity start? Which icebreaker will you take on your trip? Can children go?

Icebreaker activities generally take place from early December to early April of the following year. SAMPO and Arktis in Kemi, Finland, Polar in Sweden, all icebreakers activities include sea rafting, ice walking (if the ice is thick enough) and icebreaker cruising certificates. Our first choice for our itinerary is Polar, Sweden icebreaker. Anyone of any age can participate in this activity.
