Meet my good friends from husky home.
They will share their passion for the way of life as a musher in the arctic and you as a guest will experience a bit of the way of life in pristine arctic nature with amazing views and wildlife along the way

Northern lights safari
As evening approaches, your guide carefully monitors weather conditions and aurora forecasts to select the best possible viewing location for the night. After dinner, we head out to the area most likely to offer clear views of the Northern Lights.
Depending on the conditions, we travel by minibus to optimal viewing spots, ride snowmobiles up to higher mountain terrain in search of clearer skies, or—if the best conditions are found in the forest—set off on a guided snowshoe walk through the peaceful woodland. This flexible approach allows us to adapt each evening’s adventure to nature itself, maximising your chances of witnessing the magical Aurora Borealis dancing across the Arctic sky.

Highlights
- Flexible adventure depending on the weather
Your guide chooses the best way to search for the aurora — by minivan, snowmobile, or snowshoes. - Experienced guides and the best viewing spots in real time
Our guides select the optimal locations based on live weather and sky forecasts to maximize your chances of seeing the lights dance across the sky.
