NORTHER LIGHTS BY CAR
ABOUT
Join us on an easily accessible yet incredible quest to witness the magical Northern Lights!
​
We'll pick you up from your accommodation in our heated minivan as we venture into Adventdalen. In this beautiful valley, far from Longyearbyen's light pollution, we have a better chance of spotting the Aurora Borealis.
​
Our experienced guide knows the prime locations for viewing the Northern Lights. If we're fortunate, we might even see them dancing across the sky! We'll make several stops along the way to maximize our chances and capture stunning photos.
If you're unsure how to photograph the Northern Lights, our in-house photographer will be happy to answer all your questions. We'll conclude our adventure at our basecamp, enjoying hot drinks and a snack. We keep our groups small to ensure the best experience.
