Norway Northern Lights
Nine nights across Tromsø, the Lyngen Alps and Lofoten
The journey
Tromsø has the best aurora logistics in the world — mobile chase guides who will drive three hours into Finland to find clear sky. Lofoten has the most beautiful landscape in the Arctic. This journey does both, plus a Sami reindeer camp, husky sledding you drive yourself, and orca in the winter herring grounds.
Eight aurora nights, because probability is the only honest strategy.

Travellers on this journey
Aurora on six of nine nights. Our guide drove into Finland one night to find clear sky. That is the difference.
