Yes! Levi is one of the best places in Finnish Lapland to see the Northern Lights, with auroras visible on around 111 nights each year. However, sightings always depend on clear skies, solar activity and a little luck, so no one can guarantee you’ll see them.
At Soma Adventures, we only run our Northern Lights tours when conditions are promising. You’ll spend the evening at a private wilderness cabin away from light pollution, enjoying homemade snacks, local stories and a campfire while waiting for the aurora. If the forecast shows full cloud cover, we’ll cancel the tour and provide a full refund.
