Aurora Nights - The Northern Lights Holiday Experts

Aurora Nights | Northern Lights Holiday Experts

We specialise in curating Northern Lights holidays

At Aurora Nights, we don’t just plan Northern Lights holidays, we live the Nordic lifestyle that inspires them.

As one of the UK’s leading Aurora travel specialists, we create tailor-made journeys across Sweden, Finland, Norway, Iceland and Svalbard, combining exceptional accommodation, authentic Arctic experiences and the very best opportunities to witness the Northern Lights.

What sets us apart is our connection to the places we sell. Members of our team live in Swedish Lapland and across the Nordics, giving us first-hand insight into the destinations, seasons and experiences we recommend. We work closely with local guides, lodge owners and tourism partners, continually exploring the region ourselves to ensure every itinerary reflects the very best the North has to offer.

Our founder, Jonny Cooper, developed a passion for the science behind the Aurora Borealis after his first encounter with the phenomenon. That passion grew into a lifelong fascination with the Northern Lights and ultimately led him to relocate with his family from the UK to Swedish Lapland, where they now live beneath some of the world’s most active Aurora skies.

Aurora Nights: The Experts in Northern Lights Holidays

Today, that expertise sits at the heart of Aurora Nights. Jonny is the creator of the Aurora Buddy app, a free Aurora forecasting tool used by thousands of Northern Lights enthusiasts worldwide. Designed to help travellers better understand Aurora activity and viewing conditions, it combines scientific data with practical knowledge gained from years spent living under the Aurora Oval.

We also created the Aurora Academy, our educational platform dedicated to helping travellers understand the science, mythology and practical realities of seeing the Northern Lights. Through expert advice, forecasts, destination guides and Aurora insights, we help our guests maximise their chances of witnessing one of nature’s most extraordinary displays.

From snowmobiling across frozen Arctic landscapes and dog sledding through pristine wilderness to meeting reindeer herders and staying in remote wilderness lodges, every journey is carefully designed around authentic Nordic experiences and exceptional Aurora viewing opportunities.

Our expertise goes beyond planning holidays. We provide honest advice, local insight and personalised recommendations built on decades of combined experience and a genuine passion for the North. Because when it comes to seeing the Northern Lights, there is no substitute for local knowledge and first-hand experience.

Whether you’re planning your first Aurora adventure or searching for a once-in-a-lifetime Arctic escape, Aurora Nights offers a level of expertise, insight and access that only comes from living, working and exploring in the destinations we know best.

Aurora Nights has been helping travellers experience the Northern Lights for more than 15 years, combining scientific understanding, on-the-ground Nordic expertise and tailor-made travel planning to create some of the UK’s most trusted Aurora holidays
