Southern Hemisphere

Southern Lights Tours

Guided Aurora Australis viewing from southern latitude destinations. Best from June to August in the Southern Hemisphere when long nights and high solar activity align. Viewing sites are often remote, so guided tours provide transport, real-time forecasting, and photography support for this rarer cousin of the northern lights.
