About This Experience
The Northern Lights, or aurora borealis, are one of nature’s most enchanting displays - shimmering waves of colour that illuminate polar skies. This bespoke adventure takes you into ideal Northern Lights viewing territory, well away from light pollution, where clear night skies and crisp Arctic air heighten your chances of witnessing the phenomenon in all its glory. Alongside aurora pursuits, your days can be filled with time-honoured Arctic activities that deepen your connection to this extraordinary region.
Sample Bespoke Itinerary
Day 1 — Arrival & Arctic Welcome
Arrive at your Arctic destination and transfer to your luxury woodland lodge or glass-fronted suite. Take time to unwind, enjoy a welcome dinner, and absorb the hush of the winter landscape. As darkness falls, your first aurora briefing prepares you for what lies ahead — and the night is yours to begin aurora watching, whether from a private viewing point or your suite.
Day 2 — Wilderness Aurora Chase & Winter Safari
After breakfast, explore the snowy wilderness on snowshoes or a gentle snowmobile safari with your expert guide. In the evening, embark on a guided Northern Lights chase through pristine forests and frozen lakeshores, tracking the aurora borealis in some of the best terrain for aurora viewing. Warm drinks and fireside refreshments await while you relax under the night sky.
Day 3 — Reindeer & Cultural Discovery
Delve into local culture with a reindeer sleigh experience, meeting traditional herders and learning about their heritage. In the afternoon, enjoy time at leisure — whether beneath panoramic Arctic views from your accommodation, indulging in a sauna, or exploring the surrounding woodland. As night falls, venture out again on your Northern Lights journey, guided by local expertise to heighten your chances of witnessing the aurora.
Day 4 — Farewell Under the Lights
Spend a final morning at your leisure before a private transfer returns you to the airport — with memories of twilight skies and dancing auroras that will stay with you long after the journey home.
