DISCOVER SAMI CULTURE AND THE NORTHERN LIGHTS

This unique experience combines two of the most iconic elements of the Arctic: the ancient culture of the Sami people and the magic of the Northern Lights.

The evening begins inside a traditional Sami lavvu, gathered around the fire in a small group. Here, you will meet a Sami reindeer herder and award-winning singer who will introduce you to the world of joik, one of the oldest musical traditions in Europe.

More than music, joik is a way of expressing people, animals, emotions, and landscapes through voice. Listening to it in an authentic Arctic setting offers a rare opportunity to connect with Sami culture and traditions. There will also be time to ask questions and learn about life in the Arctic from a local perspective.

After approximately one hour of cultural immersion, it is time to head into the Arctic night.

Travelling in a comfortable 4x4 vehicle, your guide will take you to the areas with the best weather and sky conditions of the evening. Depending on forecasts and cloud cover, we may travel significant distances to maximize the chances of seeing the aurora.

During the Northern Lights chase, your guide will share photography tips, stories about Arctic life, and help you understand the night sky. Hot drinks and snacks are provided throughout the evening.

Professional photos are included, allowing you to fully enjoy the experience while taking home high-quality memories from both the Sami cultural experience and the Northern Lights adventure.

This tour is ideal for travellers looking for something more meaningful than a standard aurora chase, combining culture, storytelling, and Arctic nature in a single evening.

*The Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon and cannot be guaranteed.

Additional Information:

The joik performance is a genuine cultural experience shared by a Sami reindeer herder and artist. To preserve the authenticity, intimacy, and cultural value of the performance, video recording during the concert is not permitted.

Photography before and after the performance is welcome, but during the joik session we invite guests to disconnect from their devices and fully experience the moment. This is not a staged show, but a rare opportunity to experience a living Sami tradition in an authentic Arctic setting.
