Northern Lights Predictability During This Tour

This 8 Day Finland winter tour from Australia itinerary includes multiple nights across different Arctic regions, improving the chances of witnessing the Aurora Borealis during your winter journey.

Saariselkä – 2 Nights
Estimated probability: ~82%
Levi – 1 Night
Estimated probability: ~65%
Rovaniemi – 2 Nights
Estimated probability: ~75%
Total Aurora Viewing Window – 5 Nights in Lapland
Overall estimated tour probability: ~88%

Aurora visibility depends on solar activity, cloud cover and geomagnetic conditions. However, staying five nights across Saariselkä, Levi and Rovaniemi within the Arctic aurora zone significantly increases the likelihood of witnessing the Northern Lights.
