NORTHERN LIGHTS CHASE

Blue 
Puffin

Join our friends at Blue Puffin on a magical journey to chase the Northern Lights — not just to see them, but to truly experience them. Led by warm, local guides in small groups, they’ll follow the weather and stars to find the best possible place for the lights to appear.

Wrapped in thermal overalls, gathered around a cozy campfire by a quiet fjord, you’ll sip hot chocolate, enjoy homemade soup and cookies, and wait together in nature’s stillness. When the sky comes alive, your guide — also a professional photographer — will capture the moment for you, so you can take the memory home.
