For photographing the Northern Lights we highly suggest a DSLR camera with a lens that is capable of at least a f/2.8 18-35mm and a decent tripod for best pictures.

Itinerary
Our Aurora Borealis aka Northern Light excursions have an award winning professional photographer working with you to get that ultimate picture of a lifetime. You will also get personalized photographic instructions at no additional cost! Just that alone will pay for this trip and more. We don’t rush like the others as our trips typically last 8 to 10 hours. Our trips are geared from the young to the young-at-heart. All of our locations are wheelchair accessible so we can accommodate most everyone.
We subscribe to several paid subscription services to track the Aurora Forecast for best viewing probability, weather/cloud conditions, as well as the locations for viewing them. Mother Nature is always the one in control of the lights and there is never a guarantee that the lights will show.
If there is less than a 30% chance of seeing the lights we will cancel the trip and issue a full refund. From a 30-70% chance of seeing the lights, the customer has the option to either, cancel for full refund or continue with the trip. At 70% or higher of seeing the lights the trip will continue with no chance for refund. We have a very high success rate!
