Details

Aurora borealis is a natural glow of the sky caused by the collision of charged particles with atoms in the upper atmosphere. An amazing natural phenomenon that will not leave anyone indifferent, and will forever remain in your memory and on film.
Our team consists of the most experienced aurora hunters charged with success and proven information on finding clear skies. We will do our best to help you see the "miracle" of northern nature"
we will continue hunting until we catch up with the radiance or try all the attempts, without a mileage limit.
The route of our excursion is always different — we will go where there is a clear sky to see the Aurora in all its glory!
We plan hunting trips only on days when the probability of seeing the aurora is high. If the forecast is unfavorable, we will offer you to reschedule the trip to a more suitable day.
The strength and brilliance of the radiance can be different, so on the way we will prepare you and tell you about what to expect. And having caught up with the solar wind, we will make unforgettable shots against the backdrop of radiance. Our photographers take photographs using SONY and NIKON equipment. We will send you photos within 3 days after the tour.
After a successful hunt, we will recuperate with various snacks and hot drinks, as well as share emotions. Friendly atmosphere, high-quality photos and vivid impressions — you will remember our adventure for a long time!
To increase your chances of seeing the aurora, we recommend staying in Murmansk for 3 full nights to wait for the best conditions for your tour.

That day, the city was in a stormy state and the tour was likely to be canceled, but we set off after confirming the correct information. From the very beginning, we were fascinated by the staff's talk. As a result, we were able to see a wonderful aurora. I think they are professionals at catching the aurora. I am really glad that I chose this tour out of the many sites available. Thank you for the best memories!!
