Under the Dark Sky

Stargazing is universal. Everyone regardless of their knowledge or background has their own unique connection the night sky above. And as far as we know and remember, this has been a part of our history as human beings.


Here within the arctic circle the dark night sky is full of discoveries and stories. 

Arctic Stargazing Tours provides tailor made guided tours for public groups and private events, using state of the arts equipment and latest knowledge of the night sky wonders!


A genuinely Dark Sky is not to be taken as granted anymore as the human habitat brings the artificial lighting with it. One more reason to experience the absolute darkness of the true North!

Taking a role in Sustainability

Certified Astronomy and Lappia Vocational Wilderness Tour Guide

I worked for years in Astronomy in New Zealand and established the first of its kind Stargazing tour providing company here in Ivalo Finland, the true Arctic Circle.

​

A strong passion in astronomy and nature conservation, the goal is to protect our fragile dark skies and share the importance of it to us as Stargazers!

 

Come and join the tours and protect the Dark Night Skies together!
