Aurora Hunt by Car is one of our well-known aurora gazing activities. We will try to hunt down the Auroras with a car. In good weather we’ll try to spend as little time inside the car as possible but if the weather doesn’t look so promising, we’ll head further out in search of clearer skies. During the trip, the guide will serve some warm drinks and snacks.
