Absolutely, seeing these places in their full glory in winter is different then in the summer. Expect cold, winter and warm clothes, and also northern lights, snowy mountains and beautiful landscapes in the twilight.

The best time to see Northern Lights is fall and winter. During these months, the Earth’s tilt is such that the North Pole is exposed to more direct sunlight, resulting in more vibrant and visible auroras. While Northern Lights can be seen at any time of year, they are most commonly visible in September, October, and March. Clear nights with little moonlight are also ideal for viewing Northern Lights. When planning a trip to see Northern Lights, check the aurora forecast in advance to ensure favorable conditions.

ABOUT TOURS
What is a Self Drive Tour?
A self-drive tour is a vacation where you drive yourself instead of using public transportation or hiring a car and driver. This type of vacation can be very economical and gives you the freedom to explore at your own pace. Self-drive tours are a popular way to see national parks, historic sites, and other scenic locations. With a self drive tour, you can make impromptu stops, take detours, and change your plans as you go. This flexibility can be a great benefit if you enjoy spontaneity or if you want to avoid crowds. However, self drive tours can also be challenging if you are not used to doing your own driving or navigating in unfamiliar territory. Before embarking on a self drive tour, be sure to do your research and make sure you are prepared for the challenges.
What type of car do you recommend?
Our team recommends renting a small car for your self drive tour. A smaller car will be more economical to operate and will be easier to maneuver in tight spaces. It is also important to ensure that your rental car is equipped with GPS navigation to find your way around easily. We recommend 4×4 vehicles for driving in remote areas or on unpaved roads. If you are traveling in the winter we’d also recommend sizing up as you don’t want to be stuck in the snow.
