Aurora Borealis Hunting

We will follow our route in search of Aurora Borealis with our guide who will tell us the best kept secrets of the Norwegian sky. The travel time is not exact as it will depend on the weather conditions and the different points where the Aurora Borealis become visible. Normally, we will make stops every hour or hour and a half in areas of idyllic landscapes surrounded by snow and large forests. If we are lucky, we may also see reindeer in their natural habitat.

When the conditions are right and we have found the best place to enjoy the Aurora Borealis, we make a longer stop where we will enjoy a bonfire with local snacks and some hot drinks.
