About
To be a part of a small group is maybe the best way to experience the magic lights. Even better if you join the tour with friends or family. Our region is probably one of the best place in the world to find the Northern Lights between September and March every year. Our professional and friendly guides/drivers/photographers will drive you and your partner, family or friends on an unforgettable Northern Lights Chase along beautiful Fjords, Mountains and Lakes. 30 minutes before departure we decide where to go, with highest chances for clear skies. Once we find clear skies and stars, we will wait for the Aurora with coffee and muffins while we get our cameras ready for the big moment.
Our VIP Minivan, A Mercedes V-class 2023 / (Mercedes EQV 100% electric) 2024 will be available from medio oct 2024)
