Experience the magical Arctic night in Finnish Lapland on this electric car Northern Lights chase in Ivalo!

Ivalo is a small but charming village in Finnish Lapland, located on the banks of the Ivalo River. The village is surrounded by stunning natural landscapes, with pristine wilderness, forests, and fells. Northern Lights hunting in Ivalo is very popular, as this area has minimal light pollution and clear Arctic skies.

The Northern Lights chase from Ivalo begins at the meeting point in the village (pick-up from your accommodation is also available, please specify when booking). You'll be greeted by the experienced, friendly guide and hop aboard the emission-free electric car. The guide will track the weather and aurora forecast to find the best places for spotting this natural phenomenon. After a quick overview and itinerary briefing, your Northern Lights hunt in Ivalo begins!

The guide will drive into the snowy wilderness, away from the bright lights of the village. As you leave civilisation behind, the polar night sky will come alive with sparkling stars and, if you're lucky, the mesmerising dance of the Aurora Borealis! Upon arrival at the best viewing location, you'll stop to admire the lights and enjoy hot drinks and cookies. The guide is also a professional photographer, and they will help you capture some memorable pictures. After taking in the tranquil atmosphere, you'll be driven back to the original starting point in Ivalo.

This Northern Lights chase from Ivalo is a must-do experience when visiting northern Finland!
