Experience

Highlights
  • Hunt the Northern Lights with a professional guide
  • Stargaze under the arctic night sky
  • Enjoy a small group experience away from the crowds
Full description
After being collected from your nearby hotel, you will drive out to the countryside or up to the mountains, away from electric glow and city sounds. Out here you will be able to enjoy the beautiful night sky at the best possible situation, of course depending on the weather. Also called Aurora Borealis, the Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon visible only in the far northern hemisphere. They are a unique display of light caused by a particle collision in the magnetic field of the polar caps. Your goal is not only to find the right sights for best photograph, but also to take your time to enjoy this fragile single moment that will never come again, but you may well remember for the rest of your life.

Very fun! The northern lights weren’t particularly strong and there was a decent amount of cloud cover, but the guide drove us to several different locations and in the end we got to see the lights, although it was brief! The bus was comfortable and the guide was very friendly

Esperienza costosa. Siamo riusciti a vedere l’aurora boreale perché le condizioni meteo erano molto favorevoli. Per quanto riguarda il servizio ci saremmo aspettati un po’ di più…innanzitutto non ti porta in un posto tanto lontano dalla città, non rilascia alcuna foto e la cioccolata che era compresa non ci è stata data! Insomma è un tour troppo costoso che offre pochi servizi.
