Experience the Arctic night in comfort and style on this Northern Lights minivan tour. Starting from the center of Kirkenes, we drive out into the darkness — seeking open skies and snow-covered landscapes that give the best chance of seeing the Aurora.
Unlike bus tours, this is a small-group experience (max. 7 guests) using our quiet and eco-friendly Toyota ProAce Verso electric minivan. Your local guide monitors real-time weather and aurora forecasts to choose the best direction: maybe a frozen fjord, a hilltop viewpoint, or a lonely forest road with wide Arctic skies.
Along the way, we share stories about Northern Lights and Sami legends, and if the sky is clear, we stop for hot drinks and photos under the stars. Your guide will help you with camera settings or take photos for you. Even if the Aurora stays hidden, you’ll enjoy a peaceful night drive through one of Europe’s last wilderness regions.
This tour is ideal for couples, families, or anyone who prefers warmth, flexibility, and local insight over big bus crowds or long hikes.
