Witness the captivating Northern Lights on a holiday deep within the magnificent Arctic Circle

One of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, the Northern Lights are a stunning display of swirling, other-worldly lights. It’s no surprise seeing this spectacle features high on many travellers’ wish-lists: the incredible hues of blues and greens dancing across the night sky certainly make for a memorable holiday. Most people head for Finnish or Swedish Lapland, steering clear of large towns or cities (the more light pollution there is, the harder it is to see them). Essentially, the closer you are to the magnetic north pole, the more chance you have of the lights appearing.

 

United Travel, along with our local experts, have selected destinations in the region’s far north with little or no light pollution to ensure your chances of spotting the Aurora Borealis are high. Sightings are never guaranteed, however, you can time your trip to coincide with monthly cycles and clear weather periods. We have years of experience arranging holidays to see the Northern Lights and use our expert knowledge to book a tour to suit you.

Your 3 or 4-night Northern Lights tour is incredibly popular but we also offer 3 or 4-night Festive Lights tours in December or week-long Aurora Hunter holidays from January to March.

Seeing the Northern Lights from the magnificent Arctic landscape of Karesuando only ampifies their beauty. this village is just home to 300 people and is found in Lapland, straddling the border between Finland and Sweden. The frozen river that cuts the village serves as the border between the two countries, and the settlement is surrounded by a rolling landscape of frozen lakes and plains that provide excellent sites from which to view the Northern Lights.
