The Northern Lights are arguably one of the must-see astronomical phenomena in life, and the awe you feel when witnessing them firsthand is truly an unforgettable experience. Moreover, 2015 was the peak period for Northern Lights activity, with the best viewing time in the Northern Hemisphere from the end of August 2015 to the end of April 2016. So if you want to see the aurora, now is the time to act!
Jetour will be organizing a10 9-day Nordic Northern Lights Tour (all groups confirmed) at the end of January 2016 and during the Lunar New Year, taking you through Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland — the Nordic Four Countries. In addition to chasing the aurora, you’ll ride an icebreaker, visit Santa Claus Village, and stay in a traditional igloo that mimics the homes of the Eskimos — all rare experiences. Furthermore, they’ve invited Henry Lo, founder of the “Travel & Photography” Facebook page, to host a “Finland Northern Lights Encounter & Photography Sharing Session,” so you can get a head start on relevant photography and travel information.

When the aurora erupts, it can cover the entire night sky, with colors shifting and alternating continuously — experiencing this in person is bound to be even more breathtaking.
Snow-covered Finland, paired with dancing blue northern lights, is truly a stunning sight in life.
Facing such beauty, going to see the aurora alone might bring a bit of loneliness. Therefore, traveling with a group of friends or joining a tour to meet new people is definitely a great choice for seeing the Northern Lights. Nordic living costs are high, and a 10-day trip to the Nordics with richer experiences can easily cost tens of thousands. But this time, Jetour’s 9-day Nordic Northern Lights Tour starts at just $39,198, which is exceptional value considering the quality of the itinerary.10 9-day Nordic Northern Lights Tour, the starting price is $39,198 — given the quality of the itinerary, it’s truly a great deal.
The frequency of aurora appearances varies; sometimes you may have to wait a long time. Usually, camps do not have transparent roofs, so you have to wait outdoors for the aurora, which can be very cold. This itinerary arranges for you to view the aurora inside a traditional igloo that mimics those of the Eskimos — you can sit in a domed hut and quietly await the elusive aurora spectacle.
Lie in a warm 180° glass-domed cabin and enjoy the aurora without enduring the cold — capturing that fleeting moment becomes much easier.
Besides chasing the aurora, the itinerary also includes riding a sled pulled by a snowmobile to an ice lake for some ice fishing fun.
Ride the MS Sampo icebreaker, witness the thick sea ice, and try floating in the icy waters wearing a survival suit.
