Northern Lights Guarantee Tour — Unlimited Distance Aurora Chase, Levi — No Distance Cap, No Fixed End Time, 70% Refund if No Aurora
This is the most committed Northern Lights tour we offer — for guests who want to know that every possible effort has been made.
Why This Is the Most Committed Aurora Chase Available from Levi
- No distance cap — if clear sky is 300 km away, we drive 300 km
- No fixed end time — the tour runs until the night has been properly exhausted
- 70% refund if no aurora is seen at all — same guarantee as the standard tour, with more effort behind it
- Real-time weather and forecast monitoring throughout — the route is decided on the night and adjusted continuously
- Warm winter clothing included — nothing to arrange separately
- Professional camera throughout — aurora photos delivered by download link the next day
No Distance Cap. No Fixed End Time.
The standard guarantee tour covers up to 200 km. This one has no limit. If clear sky is 300 km away, we drive 300 km. If the right conditions appear at midnight, we are still out there. The tour ends when the night has been properly exhausted — not when a kilometre counter or a clock runs out.
Like the standard guarantee tour, a 70% refund applies if no aurora is seen at all. The difference is the level of effort behind that guarantee. More distance, more time, more flexibility to follow conditions wherever they lead.
The Guarantee — 70% Refund if No Aurora Is Seen
If the northern lights are not seen at all during the tour, 70% of the price is refunded. A sighting is considered successful if the aurora is visible to the naked eye, through the professional camera, or through a smartphone in night mode. Even a faint visible aurora counts. This is in line with standard international aurora tour practice.

Reading the Sky — How Local Arctic Weather Knowledge Finds the Northern Lights
Cloudy skies do not automatically rule out a sighting. Cloud layers vary in thickness and wind can shift the cover quickly. On many evenings that look overcast from the village, gaps open up in the right direction. The driver has seen enough Lapland nights to read the sky, not just the forecast. With no distance or time limit, there is more room to follow those gaps wherever they lead.
Photography — Professional Camera, Tripod and Next-Day Delivery
The driver carries a professional camera and tripod throughout the tour. When the aurora appears, they photograph you with the lights as a backdrop. Images are processed overnight and delivered via download link the following day. Guests are welcome to bring and use their own equipment; tripods and phone holders are available to borrow.

- Tour can start between 16:00 and 21:00 — guests must be flexible and ready within this window
- Return time is open-ended — the tour runs as long as conditions require
- Guests should be well-rested and prepared for a potentially long night
- Stopovers involve standing outside in Arctic conditions for extended periods
- The tour may cross uneven or snowy terrain on foot
