Finland Northern Lights FAQs
1. Are your Finland Northern Lights packages guided?
The vast majority of our Northern Lights tours in Finland include guided excursions, including all escapes that feature Aurora chases into the Arctic wilderness! Whether you're venturing out on a snowmobile safari, a husky sled adventure, or an evening Aurora hunt, expert local guides ensure you will enjoy a safe, informative, and memorable experience beneath the polar winter sky.
2. When is the best time to see the Northern Lights in Finland?
While Finnish Lapland is a great place to see the Aurora throughout the autumn and winter, and into the early spring, the optimal time to travel is between November and February. During this period, the nights are at their longest and darkest. However, Aurora activity in the Finnish Lapland region is visible on most clear nights from late September to early April, with excellent viewing conditions due to the extended hours of darkness, the absence of light pollution, and the vast expanses of untouched Arctic scenery.
3. Can I see the Northern Lights from my hotel or cabin?
In many cases, yes! Our packages include fantastic, unique accommodations. From glass igloos and Aurora cabins to remote wilderness lodges far from city lights. Guests often comment on how much they've loved the experience of watching the Northern Lights from the comfort of a cosy bed, next to a roaring fire, in the privacy of their cabin, igloo or lodge.
4. What kind of activities are included in your Finland Northern Lights holiday packages?
Activities vary depending on the holiday type and the itinerary you pick, but typically include wonderful and authentic Finnish experiences, like snowmobiling, dog sledding, reindeer safaris, Aurora snowshoe hikes, ice fishing, and relaxing in a traditional Finnish sauna. Certain packages also include overnight stays in glass igloos with laser-heated panels, ideal if you'd like extended viewing opportunities.
5. How reliable is seeing the Northern Lights on these tours?
We're always mindful to let guests know that sightings can't be guaranteed, because the Aurora is a natural phenomenon that can't be controlled or accurately predicted! However, Finnish Lapland offers some of the most consistent viewing conditions in the world due to its optimal proximity to the heart of the Aurora zone. Some of our packages include multiple nighttime excursions when the lights are usually at their brightest, alongside optional extra Aurora alarms, which maximise your chances of witnessing the Earth's most famous spectacle.
6. What temperatures should I expect during a Finnish Northern Lights holiday?
Arctic conditions are very cold, with winter temperatures ranging from -5 °C to -30 °C, especially in January and February, depending on your location. We ensure that all our guests are advised about whether warm-weather clothing hire is included, with a full packing list available on request. Most tours include thermal clothing rental or insulated outerwear as part of the standard package to ensure your comfort when exploring the Finnish wilderness!
7. Are flights included in your Finland Northern Lights vacation packages?
The Baltic Travel Company offers both flight-inclusive and independent travel packages, ensuring you can choose the option that's best suited to your preferences. Northern Lights tours with flights included are always ATOL-protected and usually offer the option to select your departure airport in the UK. For independent-travel packages, we include ABTOT protection to ensure your finances are covered, and we can provide detailed travel guidance on request.
8. How long should I spend in Finnish Lapland for a Northern Lights trip?
This may depend on your available travel dates. Still, as an indication, our most popular itineraries include between four and seven nights, which allows enough time for a balance of Aurora hunting, snowy winter activities, and relaxation. For a better chance of seeing the lights, we'd recommend staying for at least 3 nights in a remote, light-pollution-free location.
9. What level of support will I receive during my trip?
You'll have 24/7 UK-based emergency support as well as in-destination assistance, and can get in touch at any time if you need help or to make changes to your plans or scheduled excursions. Our trusted partners in Finnish Lapland are experienced with weather-related flexibility. They are well-positioned to adapt your itinerary if needed, giving you the best chance of seeing the Northern Lights.
10. Can I request a tailor-made Finland Northern Lights experience?
Certainly! We offer fixed-itinerary packages, where all the planning is done for you, but we also create tailor-made holidays customised around your bucket-list experiences, or the places you've always wanted to see first-hand. You can, for example, request additional nights, add private tours and excursions, or include extensions to your getaway to visit Helsinki, Rovaniemi, or combine a Northern Lights holiday in Finland with Norway or Sweden.
11. What makes Finnish Lapland one of the best places to see the Northern Lights?
Finnish Lapland lies deep within the Auroral Zone, offering near-nightly Aurora activity during the winter on days when cloud cover is minimal. Finland is also home to no less than 41 national parks, many of which are accessible to visitors and guarantee low light pollution. We can further suggest world-class Northern Lights resorts specifically designed to augment your chances of seeing the lights, all of which make Finland one of the best destinations in the world for Aurora viewing.
