Leave the glow of the city behind and journey into the Arctic wilderness, where dark skies provide ideal conditions for viewing one of nature’s most extraordinary phenomena: the Northern Lights.
Travel by coach to Polar Park, the world’s northernmost zoo, nestled among Norway’s boreal forests and rugged landscapes. While the park’s Arctic residents only take a supporting role in this evening’s adventure, the remote setting offers an excellent opportunity to await the aurora away from urban light pollution.
No two Northern Lights displays are the same. On some evenings, delicate streaks of color drift across the sky; on others, vibrant curtains of green and purple light shimmer and dance overhead. As you watch and wait for this natural spectacle, relax with a hot drink and a light snack.
Notes:
The Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon; the chances of spotting them are high, but sightings are not guaranteed. Dress warmly in layers with a windproof and waterproof outer layer; bring a warm hat, gloves and a scarf. Wear sturdy non-skid walking shoes. Terrain includes even and uneven surfaces, snow, inclines, gravel, grass, and steps. Not advisable for guests using a wheelchair, for those with mobility limitations, or for those with a medical condition exacerbated by extreme cold. Bring a small flashlight or headlamp, as paths within Polar Park may be dark, uneven, and icy. Children under the age of 3 must be secured in a child's car seat on the transportation. These are not available through the tour operator; you must bring your own from home.The sighting of wildlife is not guaranteed.
