Experience It! The Northern Lights Each year, during the winter months, travelers journey to Finland and venture out into the dark to see the magical but elusive northern lights. This natural phenomenon is the product of collisions between electrically charged particles from the sun that enter the earth's atmosphere; the results are spectacular! Streaks of colorful light appear across the sky. The colors can vary from white to pink or purple and, most commonly, green. It is known that the best time to witness the lights in Finland is from late September to mid-april, when the nights are the longest. This light show is truly dazzling and worth the pursuit.

Please Note: The days and order of sightseeing may change to best utilize your time on tour. Hotel check-in on your day of arrival is 3:00 p.m. Rooms may not be available prior to that time. Museum visits and shopping may be affected by observance of religious or local holidays. Single and triple accommodations are limited and are available on a first come, first served basis. Travel with just 24 passengers on this Explorations tour where a smaller group setting means a more personal travel experience. Coaches which may not be lavatory equipped may be used on this program.

It is recommended that you wear sturdy non-slip snow footwear and warm clothing including thermals, hat, scarf and gloves. *The northern lights are in the Northern Hemisphere from September through April and are only visible when the sky is clear and free of clouds. As this tour is weather dependent, sightings of the northern lights are not guaranteed. Outdoor activities and structures are weather dependent and may be unavailable or rescheduled. Outdoor activities in months of October, early November or April may vary depending on snowfall. If there is not enough snowfall, the husky safari will be substituted for a husky meet and greet and hike experience. The reindeer safari will be substituted with a horse drawn carriage northern lights search. **Finnish log cabins (small cabins) are equipped with 1 double bed, 1 bunk bed, a dining space, two bathrooms (inclusive of sink, toilet and shower), private sauna and private fireplace. ***Glass igloos are equipped with only a private sink and toilet.
