Additional Information

Embark on a 2-hour nocturnal journey in Nuuk, the heart of Greenland, chasing the captivating Northern Lights and discovering every nook and cranny of the capital city.

We invite you to join us as we transport you to the city’s darkest outskirts for the magical vistas of one of the Arctic winter’s most mesmerizing delights. As we journey, a local guide will acquaint you with intriguing insights about Nuuk and the Aurora Borealis, and they are eager to satisfy your curiosity about Greenland.

A word to the wise: expect to encounter chilly conditions; it is, after all, the Arctic winter. Despite the cold, our heated transport will provide a cozy retreat if needed. However, to maximize your outside experience, we recommend bundling up with warm coats, a woolen hat, scarf, and hand coverings. A complimentary hot chocolate will be provided to help keep you warm.

Please note that the Aurora Borealis is an unpredictable phenomenon and may not make an appearance during the excursion. If fortune does not favor your viewing, we offer a guarantee to rebook you on a subsequently available night at no extra cost!

Caught...a Northern Lights caught! - It was a great experience. I was picked up from the hotel and given a very warm welcome. The guide Inesa showed her enthusiasm for the Northern Lights and during the car rides she told us about the wonderful Greenland and the conditions and was interested in my input. We experienced the Northern Lights together. Full of happiness, with the Northern Lights and a huge shooting star in my backpack, she brought me back to the hotel. It was a wonderful experience... full of happiness, fun and a cool breeze. Thank you so much for everything! I'd be happy to do it again any time!

Absolutely worth it! - Mads was awesome as a guide, we unfortunately missed the lights on our first outing but Mads was determined to make sure we didn’t miss them completely. He chatted to us each day about the likelihood of the lights for that night and when our chances were high he came straight to our hotel to pick us up and get us a viewing. I would definitely recommend this tour!

Wonderful tour - nice to be able to stay warm in the cold night - Easy to book, extremely flexible (kept going a little longer because the northern lights just got amazing at the end) , comfortable seating and with a guide you could ask about anything, not just the northern lights.
