**2026 IS PREDICTED TO BE THE LAST WINTER OF AN 11-YEAR SOLAR CYCLE FOR THE NORTHERN LIGHTS… We don’t mean to alarm you – but this coming winter might be your last chance to see the Northern Lights at their peak for over a decade. Nature’s light show depends on the sun’s activity – and scientists say the current solar maximum will end later in 2026.**

**So, if you’ve ever dreamed of seeing the Northern Lights, 2026 is the year to make it happen. And most important, Finland is one of the best places in the world to witness the dancing Northern Lights!**

**Join Fun Happenings Travel Group for a winter wonderland adventure through Finnish Lapland. No trip to Lapland would be complete without a night in a glass dome cabin under the stars & a traditional Finnish sauna… And we are spending 3 NIGHTS IN THESE IMPOSSIBLE TO BOOK GLASS DOME CABINS!**

**This extraordinary Northern Lights Tour takes us above the Arctic Circle to Lapland’s majestic forests blanketed in powdery white snow, far away from the city lights. Our trip is scheduled at the best time of the year and the best place to see the Northern Lights in the World! Thanks to the remote northern location of the 2 winter resorts we are visiting, the clear skies with limited clouds, and long, dark nights should give us multiple opportunities to see this incredible natural phenomenon. Each night, we have dedicated Aurora hunts and the chance to sleep in your very own glass-domed Aurora Cabin for 3 of the 6 Nights, while viewing the Aurora Borealis from your bed!**

**We are visiting two of the most desirable Finnish destinations in Lapland with this incredible 7 Day tour. We are staying at the stylish Wilderness Hotel Juutua set in the vast Frozen Lake Inari and also the popular Wilderness Resort Muotka. These two Lapland winter resorts are two of the highest rated hotels in Finland and the best location for viewing the Northern Lights.**

**Our group will experience the Best of Finnish Lapland with adventurous activities, including dog sledding over unspoiled frozen landscapes, snowmobiling through the Arctic wilderness, visiting a reindeer farm, and even experiencing a traditional Finnish Sauna, combined with an ice polar swim. And, every night, we will be chasing the Northern Lights!**
