One of the most stunning phenomena of winter nature is the Northern Lights dancing in the northern skies. Seeing the Northern Lights and the bright starry sky in cities and near roads is increasingly difficult due to light pollution. In the Baltic Sea off Ii, there are fewer light sources, so on a clear evening or night, you can observe a truly interesting sky.

From around the turn of the year until the beginning of February, the excursion can start in the evening at around 18.00, later in spring the departure is around 20.00. Best time to start the trip is around sunset.

The excursion will be tailored to you and your group, so you can enjoy the natural surroundings and the atmosphere created by the darkness in complete tranquillity. The excursion proceeds by snowmobile and sleigh to an area suitable, where we can admire the sea and the nearby islands in the sunset light. We'll build a fire in the mobile fire pit so you can stay warm and roast a picnic lunch if you wish.

Searching for Northern Lights requires stopping for a moment, so there's no rush to get anywhere. You'll need to be careful though, as once the fires appear in the sky they can fade very quickly. Remember that even on a clear night, the Northern Lights will not appear every time. On the other hand, when sky activity is high, it can be cloudy. So we also need luck.

If the ice conditions don't allow sledging, we can make the trip on foot. The location will be chosen according to the snow conditions.

In case of bad ice conditions, the excursion will be cancelled or modified.

If the ice conditions are bad, the excursion will be cancelled or postponed or cancelled. Please dress very warmly for the excursion, wearing layers and windproof clothing. Wear a few pair of socks.
