Venture away from Longyearbyen, delving into one of the many side-valleys to escape the ambient light of settlements. Immerse yourself in the magical display of lights against the untouched Arctic landscape. Along the journey, a stop at our traditional Gamme provides warmth and a hot drink, creating a cozy interlude as we await the enchanting spectacle.

It was an absolutely brilliant trip. A nice small group of lovely people with a fantastic tour guide/ host.

“Hotel pickup was on time, their lodge was warm and interesting. Provided us gear that was in good condition, clean, warm, dry.”

The information on locality, agenda and nature was excellent
