Levi Northern Lights Experience

About This Experience

Arctic Midnight Group’s Levi Northern Lights Experience is a small-group, aurora-first evening that runs 2–4 hours. The guide collects you from your accommodation and picks the night’s spots from real-time weather forecasts and solar activity, moving on when the sky does. Viator caps shared departures at 8 travelers, and the inclusions add a campfire, snacks, warm drinks and professional DSLR photos of you under the sky, sent after the tour.

Reviewers fill in the shape of a typical night. One group of seven drove north for about 45 minutes to a frozen lake; others mention a heated cabin for warming up with a hot drink and a snack, and three spots in an evening of about four hours. Several single out the guide’s photography, including on a cloudy night when the pictures were the main result. The tour is rated 4.9 from 64 Viator reviews (checked October 2026).

The limits are clear. The listing says the Northern Lights can never be guaranteed, and there is no refund for a night without them. Viator’s standard terms give a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours before departure and nothing after that, so check the forecast before the cut-off. Thermal overalls are not listed as included, and reviewers describe nights of −32 °C (−26 °F) and −40 °C (−40 °F), so come in full winter layers. Alcohol is not included.

From $147 per person (checked October 2026), it costs more than the short minivan tour and much less than the long chases, and it is bookable from 25 October 2026 to 12 April 2027. Guiding is in English, Finnish or German, and the booking page offers child (2–14), youth (15–17), adult and senior tickets. If you want a longer hunt with a refund tied to the camera, compare Arctic GM’s tour (our review); for a cheaper evening without photos or a campfire, see the minivan tour (our review).

It suits couples and families who want photos of themselves under the sky without managing camera settings, and travelers who prefer a few hours out to an all-night chase. The trade-off is time: on a cloudy night, 2–4 hours gives the guide less room to find a gap in the cloud than a 6–10 hour chase. Booking and payment happen on Viator.
