You will get an update from us every day during your stay if we will be operating the tour that night or not. If we are operating the tour you will get the chance to go at an extra cost that needs to be paid before the tour. We will be sending you an email before 5:00 PM every day, in case you can go on the tour we will be sending you a payment link to confirm your booking and the tour usually departs at 09:00 PM. Please note that we don’t offer a free retry and that The Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon and sights can never be guaranteed, but our guides have a lot of experience and will try their best to spot the Northern Lights and go to the right location for that night.
