Northern Lights Hunt by Car
with Snowfox Travel
About the tour
Ready to explore the magical Northern lights?
Join us on this easily accessible, but incredible hunt for the magical Aurora!
We will pick you up at your accommodation with our heated minivan, before we head out into the valleys. We will be observing the sky from different area’s and try to be away from light pollution to increase our chances to catch the Aurora Borealis.
On clear nights we can see so many stars and planets, whilst we wait for the show to begin!
Our experienced guide knows the best spots for us to be able to catch the Northern lights. If we are really lucky, we might even see them dancing in the sky! We will make several stops along our way to find the Northern lights and to be able to go home with amazing photos.
Not sure how to take the best Northern light photos, our guide is happy to answer all your questions.
We end up at our basecamp for some hot drinks and a snack. We only take small groups for the best experience.
