The Baltic Travel Company advisers are experts in Northern Lights travel. Our role is to ensure you have a dream holiday, marked by watching the beauty and mystery of the Northern Lights and exploring the astonishing landscapes of Northern Finland. This region has more reindeer than people and no less than seven protected national parks.
Finland is an excellent destination for a Northern Lights holiday, being perfectly positioned in the Northern Hemisphere, where the light show, which occurs due to solar activity in the Earth’s atmosphere, is visible for up to 200 nights of the year.
Northern Lights holidays, short breaks and packages include Aurora alarms and guides to give you the best chance of seeing the lights far from light pollution, and on the clearest evenings of your holiday when you will be able to immerse yourself in the experience without cloud cover in sight.
Accommodation Options for a Unique Finnish Northern Lights Adventure
As you would expect from Aurora travel specialists, we offer a comprehensive range of packages, itineraries, and accommodations, from romantic, adults-only hideaways deep in the Finnish wilderness to family-friendly lodges and camps with endless festive activities to keep little ones entertained.
Some of the most popular selections include charming cabins and camps, without the artificial lights of the towns and cities that can dampen the view of the lights; ski resorts with world-class cross-country skiing and gentler snowshoeing; or even visiting a reindeer ranch and seeing these beautiful animals in the landscapes they call home.
For a special occasion or luxury winter holiday in Finland, we often recommend an Arctic treehouse hotel, ideal for couples, or five-star ski resorts that offer private suites and cabins, many which come with a sauna for your exclusive use and hire facilities for all the outdoor sports the Finnish winter wonderland is known for.
Northern Lights Tours During the Peak of the Finnish Winter
The ideal time to see the Northern Lights in Finland is between November and February. While the Aurora season extends slightly beyond these months, the period during the polar winter when the nights are at their darkest provides the best possible viewing conditions.
Finnish Lapland also provides several superb locations where the views of the lights are simply unbeatable. One such location is the Aurora Village Ivalo, a camp committed to protecting the Sami culture and heritage nestled towards the north above the Arctic Circle.
For guests organising a short break to Finland, the optimal excursions often include an overnight stay in a remote, cosy glass igloo, where you can watch the lights through the clear laser-heated glass overhead while you settle down for the night – while those booking an extended holiday over the Christmas season can plan a few days in a Northern Lights village or a private guided Aurora tour via jeep, snowmobile, husky sled or sleigh.
We endeavour to ensure every guest has an incredible Northern Lights adventure, with every detail taken care of, based on your preferences, the activities and winter sports you'd like to try, the length of your stay and the ages of you and your party.
Combining a Finnish Northern Lights Trip With Festive Celebrations
Our consultants often speak with families who’d love to see the Northern Lights up close and in person and who wish to organise their experience over the Christmas break. This makes it a fantastic opportunity to blend the Aurora with Finnish festive traditions.
Winter in Lapland is a magical place to spend the Christmas holidays, and we can happily recommend packages that suit guests of every age. These trips can include visits from Santa Claus, overnight Aurora camps, husky safaris, and the chance to experience Finnish customs, delicacies, and celebrations.
