The experience

The tour runs between five and ten hours depending on how the night unfolds and what your group wants to do. You're picked up from your hotel and dropped back there when it's done, so the logistics are settled before you leave. The guide arrives knowing the landscape around Mandi and the spots where the lights tend to show, but the actual route depends on conditions that night: cloud cover, aurora intensity, and what your group is after. Families with small children can bring a pram. Service animals are welcome.

Dinner and snacks are included, along with coffee and tea, so you're fed through the wait. If anyone in your group has dietary needs, let the operator know at booking. The guide has your full attention for the whole night, which means you can ask about camera settings if you're trying to photograph the aurora, or simply learn about the landscape and local history while you watch. Because it's only your group, the pace and the stops are yours to shape. If the lights are strong over one valley, you stay. If they're moving, you follow.

Dress for the cold and bring a valid passport. The tour operates in all weather, so rain or snow doesn't cancel it. It just changes what the night looks like. If the date you want is fully booked, email the operator and ask. They sometimes find a way to fit groups in.
