The Aurora Borealis – a spectacular natural phenomenon featuring a myriad wave of colours dancing on the cosmic wind high in the sky – has fascinated man for many millennia. In an age where we know the scientific rationale for the Northern Lights, a sighting still delivers an emotional rush and a primaeval response that will be engraved in your memory for a lifetime. Watch nature’s greatest show unfold this winter on our three night holiday to Tromso in Northern Norway; a destination synonymous with the Aurora Borealis. Take your seat in the front row and await the magic.

Day 2 - Dog sled tour and Northern Lights tour
Dog sled tour and Northern Lights tour (the chase and the bonfire): Watch the awakening of the Arctic landscape this morning whilst experiencing the thrills of dog-sledding. Our chosen, small group 4-hour activity takes place on the island of Kvaloya near Tromso and offers all guests the opportunity to try their hand at mushing their own team of husky-dog sled. This evening we have included a small group (16 people) Aurora tour for your enjoyment. The tour will take you away from the artificial lights of Tromso in search of the Northern Lights. During the drive your local guide will tell you interesting facts about the Aurora Borealis, both scientific and folklore. The guide will also help you adjust your camera settings (if required) to enable you to capture the magical moment the Aurora Borealis appears in the sky above you.
