Northern lights:Â This program includes during 4 evenings a combination of presentations, lectures, film and guided searches for the Aurora Borealis - the Northern Lights. All countryside hotels in this program offer a Northern Lights wake-up call for guests that register for that particular service at the hotel reception. This tour series is designed to spend 4 evenings in the countryside to maximize the chances of seeing the elusive Northern Lights. Still, the tour is dependent on weather, and therefore sightings are not guaranteed. The Northern Lights are visible in the northern sky from September through April when the sky is clear and free of clouds. Like many natural wonders, it is an ephemeral spectacle - the Northern Lights may be visible, they may appear for a bit and then be gone (it is not a TV show that you can just turn on and off). But it is worth the patience which is much required. Because they are a winter event, you need to be prepared to wait outside while looking for them. It is best to dress very warmly, in layers, with good footwear, gloves, hats and whatever else makes you comfortable while you await this truly outstanding event. For the best photos, we recommend using a tripod.
Daily driving:Â Total mileage without airport transfer from day 2-5 is about 850 km (527 miles) which is an average of 212 km (132 miles) per day. You spend about 3 hours per day on the bus, depending on road conditions, traffic, and daily distances. On some days the driving might be longer than on some other days.
