Aurora Borealis Holiday
When booking your dream aurora borealis holiday, it is important to know that the location is good for aurora. We claim that this is one of the best northern lights locations in the whole world. The staff working here really understand aurora, and make sure you get the best possible experience. The northern lights are weather dependent and if weather is bad for aurora, you can enjoy your time in our restaurant & bar along with other activities.
You are already on location and as long as weather is good and the aurora dance, you will see it. Because of this you dont have to go on a classic “chasing the northern lights tour” from bus or car. Our eminent hosts and our automated alerting system will also make sure you never miss out on any action.
While staying here you can also explore the culture of Senja Island. Enjoy the silence and lovely atmosphere where your well-being is in focus. Our goal is to create the best Aurora Borealis experience.
