Best Time to Book Tours to See The Northern Lights
Timing is the most important factor to consider when planning to see the Northern Lights in Lapland, which is from the end of August to early April.
Autumn (Sept-Oct)
The Northern Lights can be seen reflecting off lakes and rivers which is a spectacular sight. Also, the temperatures are a little higher making it the most comfortable time to go on a Northern Lights tour.
Winter (Nov-Jan)
The beautiful snowy landscape creates a stunning winter wonderland backdrop, however the days are very short and the temperatures are extremely cold.
Spring (Feb-Mar)
Spring is known to have milder temperatures and clearer skies which makes it great for viewing the lights.
