This is not a fixed-location tour—we follow the weather and aurora forecasts to find the clearest skies each night. Some evenings we stay near Sortland, other times we drive over the mountains in search of open sky. You’ll travel in a warm vehicle, enjoy hot drinks and snacks, and receive free aurora photos taken by your guide.
