Chasing the Northern Lights in Finland – Solo Style!
What better way to explore the breathtaking light show of the Aurora Borealis than with fellow solo travellers, who can share this spectacular illumination with you! A bucket list holiday, and an experience not to be missed, Finnish Lapland is a must-see for seeing this naturally occurring phenomenon.
Our holiday will take you to Finland’s most northern point, hidden away from light pollution and urban glows – this dark retreat makes it the perfect place to view the lights whilst they dance their dance right before your eyes.
Finland is one of the best places on Earth to spot the Northern Lights - they appear on more than 200 nights a year in Finnish Lapland; however, there is much more to Finland than the sensational luminescent sky displays.
Why Choose This Holiday?
- Specifically designed for solo travellers
- Expert-guided Northern Lights hunt included
- Husky safari and Arctic wildlife encounters
- Centrally located hotel – perfect for solo comfort
- Small, friendly group size – travel solo, but never alone
- Magical experiences beyond the Aurora – a true Arctic adventure
Ready to tick this off your bucket list? Book now and step into the glowing heart of Lapland with a group of fellow adventurers, just like you.
Our Resort
The area is exquisite in its natural beauty, with vast expanses of pine forest stretching out as far as the eye can see. Tunturi (small rounded fells) crop up between the densely packed trees, and of course, the stark climactic conditions add an extra element of beauty. It is sparsely populated, making it the ideal place if you are after some tranquillity and serenity. Though of course, as you’ll be travelling with a group, you won’t be short of company. Of course, Lapland is famed for being the home of Santa Claus, and this fairytale element is something that really suits the beautiful scenery and magical feel of this unique travel destination.
