  • You'll receive a confirmation email immediately after booking
  • We accept all major credit cards and secure online payments
  • Our guide will contact you via WhatsApp or phone before your tour with pickup details

💡 Tip: Book early! Our small group sizes (max 12) mean tours fill up quickly, especially during peak aurora season (December-February).

Cancellation Policy

We understand plans can change. Our cancellation policy is designed to be fair and flexible:

  • Free cancellation up to 24 hours before your scheduled tour time
  • Cancellations made less than 24 hours before departure are non-refundable
  • No-shows (not showing up without notice) are non-refundable

How to cancel: You can cancel directly from your Stripe booking confirmation email (look for the "Cancel booking" link), or message us on WhatsApp or email at least 24 hours before your tour. Refunds are processed within 5-7 business days.

Northern Lights Disclaimer

The Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) are one of nature's most spectacular phenomena – but they're also unpredictable. Here's what you should know:

  • Aurora activity depends on solar activity, which we cannot control or predict with 100% certainty
  • Even with strong aurora forecasts, cloud cover can affect visibility
  • Our experienced guides use real-time data to find the best viewing spots

⚠️ Important: No refunds or discounts will be issued due to lack of aurora activity if the tour operates as planned. This is an aurora hunting experience – the journey through the Arctic night is part of the adventure!

That said, our guides have excellent local knowledge and track record. We travel to multiple locations if needed to maximize your chances of seeing the lights.

Weather Conditions

Your safety is our top priority. Here's how we handle challenging Arctic weather:

  • Tours may be cancelled due to severe weather (extreme storms, dangerous road conditions)
  • If we cancel your tour, you'll receive a full refund or the option to reschedule
  • Light snow or cold temperatures are normal Arctic conditions – tours run in temperatures down to -30°C
  • Our guides continuously monitor conditions and may adjust the route for safety

We'll contact you if weather conditions require cancellation, typically a few hours before the scheduled tour time.

Safety & What to Bring

To ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience:

What You Should Bring

  • Warm layered clothing (thermal underwear, fleece, winter jacket)
  • Warm hat, gloves, and scarf
  • Warm waterproof boots
  • Camera or smartphone (we'll help you capture the aurora!)

Good to Know

  • We don't provide thermal suits unless specifically stated in your booking
  • Children under 3 years cannot participate due to the late hours and cold conditions
  • Please inform us of any mobility issues or special requirements when booking
  • Alcohol and drugs are not permitted on our tours

Liability: Aurora Dreams AB is not responsible for personal injury, loss, or damage to personal belongings during tours, except where required by Swedish law. We recommend travel insurance for all guests.

Flexible Itinerary

Every tour is unique because we adapt to conditions in real-time:

  • Routes, stops, and duration may vary based on weather, road conditions, and aurora forecasts
  • Our guides use multiple data sources to find clear skies and optimal viewing spots
  • We may visit 2-3 different locations during a single tour
  • Tour duration is approximately 3-4 hours

This flexibility is what makes our tours special – we're not stuck to a fixed route, we go where the aurora takes us!
