Come chase the northern lights with us!

Finding them is magical, simply magical.

You think you must be dreaming, especially when you catch them dancing. It just comes from nowhere... and keeps moving and changing shape! It’s like someone is doing a huge water color painting, in real time, across the canvas of the dark black sky.

This is nature’s own silent movie show, awe-inspiring, majestic and ethereal that leaves you feeling stunned, reminded once again of the incredible beauty of nature.

And somewhat grateful that you’ve had the opportunity to see it.

Although there is never a guarantee, we find them most of the time. Join us for a chase and experience the thrill!

Watch the Northern Lights while sailing comfortably on a catamaran. Our Northern Lights Sailing Experience is a 3 hour excursion that gives you the opportunity to see two Arctic phenomenons, sailing through the Arctic fjords, while having the chance to see the Northern Lights all while sailing on board one of our comfortable catamarans. In the winter, the sun is replaced with the polar night, exchanging the light of the sun with saturated greens and purples of the aurora dancing above the sea.

Why watch the northern lights by boat instead of car you may ask? Sailing through the fjords in the polar night is a very unique and different experience than driving to a certain spot in a car or bus. We are able to keep moving with the lights, while being able to go inside to grab a fresh coffee, stay warm and enjoy the lights on the net of a spacious catamaran.

Welcome to visit our Sรกmi camp and join us for a reindeer sledding safari.

Crackling snow and clear night-time sky printed with green waves from the Northern Lights enjoyed from a sled being gently pulled by a reindeer in the mountainous area close to the Lyngen Alps, home to magnificent coastal sceneries and idyllic villages.

According to Sami people, the northern lights have a sound. Sit quiet and listen - maybe you can hear it too! The natural wonders can sometimes be predicted but never guaranteed. The lack of urban light pollution allows you to thoroughly enjoy the splendors of the night sky. You will also get up-close and personal with our beautiful animals as you help us feed the calves that are ready to be domesticated.

Our expert guides will inform you of the ancient lifestyles of reindeer herders and maybe also reveal some secrets of surviving life in the Arctic while you are served hot beverages and a traditional meal.

The most comfortable and environmentally friendly way to see the Northern Lights. The Northern Lights is something all travelers should experience. Up in the far North, we have learned how to experience this magical phenomenon in the most comfortable way possible. We have chosen a Tesla Model X to venture out into the fjords.

Its comfort, environmental consciousness and space has made it the perfect vehicle to take out into the Arctic. Our guides have extensive knowledge of the area and will take you to some of our favourite hidden spots with 100% flexibility to optimise chances of seeing the lights. The difference between this Northern Lights tour and others is the flexibility on where to go, how long to stay, comfort and intimate, personal group sizes.

Enjoy the lights alongside a camp fire while roasting marshmallows and enjoying a late night snack from one of our favourite local restaurants. We cater to all dietary needs.

Try reindeer sledding, the oldest means of transportation in the north, with authentic Sami guides and stay with us for the night in a traditional Sami tent in beautiful north Norwegian nature.

The location has little artificial light and excellent conditions to look for the Northern Lights. Instead of heading back to the city center where you might miss a late-night dance from Lady Aurora, stay on this good location in a traditional Sami tent known as lavvo, and sleep on reindeer hides in winter-insulated sleeping bags. Since you are located a good distance from the bright lights of the city, you can thoroughly enjoy the splendors of the night sky.

This cultural adventure includes approximately 30-minutes of reindeer sledding, before you can enjoy a hot meal served in our lavvo while listening to stories about the Sami culture and history. Allow yourself to become one with nature and replenish your mind and soul on your overnight excursion with us.
