Northern Lights Tour

The Northern Lights, a spellbinding natural phenomenon, have captivated far northern communities with their celestial dance for centuries. As unpredictable as they are enchanting, these dynamic lights move with a mind of their own, evading timetables and leaving spectators in awe.

Tour Availability:

Experience the Arctic Night:
Starting at Ilulissat’s Sports Hall, we’ll journey through the outskirts to the shipping container yard, passing sled dogs on our way. Ascending through a rocky canyon (100m elevation gain), we’ll reach a frozen lake. There, under the Arctic night sky, the mesmerizing Northern Lights will snake, swirl, and dance, casting their luminous glow upon the pristine wilderness.

Inclusions:
This tour includes warm drinks and snacks to keep you cozy during this celestial encounter. However, please note that warm clothing is not provided, so ensure you are adequately dressed for the Arctic winter!
