Northern Lights Tour:

Far from the glow of the city, hunt for the magnificent but elusive Northern Lights, best seen on cold, clear nights in winter. If conditions are right, we may be lucky enough to witness the awesome spectacle of the Lights swirling in a wild and carefree dance across the sky in vivid colours and dramatic patterns. The Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis, are a spectacular natural phenomenon.

The Northern Lights are seen in winter, usually on clear crisp nights in places far away from the city lights.
