Our tour takes you to see a spectacular phenomenon visible from late August to mid-April. The Northern Lights, also known as the aurora borealis, are caused by the interaction of particles from the sun with the upper atmosphere near the Magnetic Pole.
Our experts decide on the best location each night, so the exact route is not known in advance. One of the most important factors is that we move away from city lights. Based on the weather and aurora forecast, we determine whether it is worth going at all. If so, our experts select the optimal viewing location.
