The Ultimate Aurora Photo Adventure<\/span><\/b><\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

Due to a tendency for clear skies, Abisko is one of the greatest places in the world to
see the northern lights. <\/span>We will provide you with a DSLR camera & lens<\/span><\/strong>
that is preset to capture the northern lights and quickly go over the
basic skills that you will need to find and photograph the magical
aurora borealis. <\/span><\/p>\n


Our Ultimate Aurora Photo Adventure offers you THREE different ways to see the northern lights: <\/span><\/strong>depending
upon the weather and aurora forecast we will hunt for the lights on
foot at a nearby teepee, chase the lights in a modern 4\u00d74 van, or ride
on a cozy sleigh which is pulled behind a snowmobile to one of our
wilderness camps in and around Abisko National Park.<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n

This evening under the stars offers you a fantastic opportunity to
learn about the culture & natural history of Lapland and gives you a
chance to experience beauty that can only be found in Abisko National
Park. During our time together we will discuss the way that locals
interact with nature and explore the cultural interpretations of the
northern lights that the local inhabitants of the region have believed
during the last several centuries. <\/span>Small groups of 8 guests guarantee a very personal and genuine experience<\/span><\/b> and ensure a safe and comfortable trip into the Arctic environment.<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

What makes this tour better than others?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Lights Over Lapland started offering our original Nightly Aurora Photo Tour
It was the first aurora photo tour in Abisko, and over the last ten years we have helped thousands of
satisfied guests from all over the world see and photograph the northern
lights in Abisko National Park. A few years later, we formed a
partnership with our friends at Activities In Abisko and added our
Wilderness Aurora Adventure which took our clients deeper into the
Arctic Wilderness surrounding Abisko than any other operator in Abisko.
During this time, we have constantly asked for feedback from our guests
about what they are looking for in an aurora chase and have used the
collective brain power of our guests and guides to create a brand new
adventure, which we believe represents the <\/span>absolute best way to see the northern lights in Abisko National Park<\/span><\/em><\/strong>.
This new and exciting adventure takes all the best elements of our
legacy Nightly Aurora Photo Tour & Wilderness Aurora Adventure, adds
a chase to the package and combines all three methods of aurora hunting
into one incredible adventure, which we believe truly is the ultimate
aurora adventure available in Abisko.<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n

While other operators may give you <\/span>one <\/span><\/strong>method of
chasing the lights on foot or in a minivan, Lights Over Lapland is proud
to be the only outfitter to invest so much time and customer research
into a brand new adventure that gives you not one, but <\/span>THREE<\/span><\/strong>
methods to see and photograph the northern lights and the absolute best
chances of a successful aurora chase in Abisko National Park. We
include warm clothing, camera gear, warm drinks and access to the most
experienced team of aurora guides in Abisko National Park. We are proud
of the fact that we are fully insured and have all the necessary permits
to operate our tours in Abisko National Park, which many of our
competitors have simply chosen not to do. We are also incredibly proud
of the fact that all of our evening adventures have a maximum guest to
guide ratio of 8:1. <\/span>Keeping a strict limit of eight guests per guide ensures that you will always have lots of access to your guide and that you will never be in a large group of strangers which is a common occurrence when joining chases provided by other operators. This makes the experience much more genuine, and
helps us maintain proper social distancing at our locations. Since your
adventure includes all transportation, <\/span>there is not a set time that we have to return back to the hotel,<\/span><\/strong>
which gives us more flexibility and the ability to stay out later than
any other outfitter in Abisko. We are confident that our new adventure
represents the absolute best single evening aurora tour in Abisko
National Park, and we are confident that you will too!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

      We have had countless guests join us who were not photographers over the years and we are happy to say that they have all gone home very happy! While our Ultimate Aurora Photo Adventure includes camera gear, this trip
      are not specifically designed for photographers - we simply include
      camera gear as we believe that the best souvenir of the northern lights
      is a photograph of the display that you witness during our trip. While
      our guides will be happy to help you capture beautiful photographs,
      their main focus is to make sure that you see the lights and that you
      enjoy every moment of your trip. We are confident that you will enjoy our trip even if you have no interest in photography!<\/span><\/p>\n
