Itinerary
Day 1
Private evening aurora chase by car around Levi with flexible stops, photo help, hot drinks and return to your accommodation.
Pickup from accommodation in Levi
Private pickup from your accommodation in Levi or central meeting point in Levi village. Brief orientation and safety check before departure.
Tips from local experts:
- Confirm your exact pickup address the afternoon of the tour so the driver can plan the most direct route.
- Wear your outdoor layers before pickup to avoid delays when stopping; boots, hat and gloves are recommended.
- If you’re staying outside central Levi, expect an extra 5–15 min pickup time — let the guide know any mobility needs in advance.
Drive to first viewing spot and initial aurora watch
Guide monitors aurora and cloud cover and drives to the nearest clear, low-light location. Time used for initial viewing, short walks and positioning for photos.
Tips from local experts:
- Bring a small thermos or handwarmers in your jacket pockets for added comfort during short stops.
- Keep phone cameras on 'night mode' or manual settings; guide will assist with exposure and focus for aurora shots.
- Stay near the vehicle between stops to keep warm; the guide will suggest short, scenic walks if conditions permit.
Hot drinks, local snacks & photo assistance
Short stop to warm up with hot drinks and local snacks while the guide helps with phone and basic camera settings to capture the aurora.
Tips from local experts:
- If you bring a tripod, tell the guide at pickup so they can position you for the best composition.
- Use insulated cups provided by the guide; avoid glass bottles in cold temperatures to prevent freezing.
- Keep batteries warm (inside pockets) — cold drains camera and phone batteries quickly.
Final viewing and return to accommodation
Guide tries one final direction for clearer skies before returning to your accommodation in Levi. Relaxed return transfer with a brief debrief.
Tips from local experts:
- Expect a short warm-up drive back; if you need an earlier or later drop-off, notify the guide at pickup.
- If you plan to continue photographing on the way back, bring a small headlamp with a red light to avoid disturbing others.
- Have your accommodation address ready on your phone in case the driver needs clarification on return.
