Guided Stargazing and Astronomy tours in the Finnish Lapland! The outworldly experience awaits!
​
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!
