Northern Light safari

The northern lights experience in Mo i Rana is a magical winter adventure that takes you deep into the Arctic night in search of one of nature’s most breathtaking phenomena—the Aurora Borealis. As the cold bites your cheeks and the snow groans beneath your snowshoes, you’ll walk in silence beneath a sky lit by constellations, surrounded by a peaceful, snow-covered landscape. The journey begins with hotel pickup, where guides ensure you’re properly dressed for the cold and equipped with snowshoes, poles, and even camera tripods if needed. After a short drive up the mountain, you’ll receive a quick introduction to snowshoeing and tips on how to capture the northern lights on camera. The group takes a gentle walk through the snowy terrain, eventually reaching a cozy barbecue hut where a fire is lit, smoke curling into the frozen air as warm drinks and snacks are served. Your guide shares stories about the lights and the region while everyone gathers around the fire, waiting in anticipation for the sky to come alive. In recent years, Mo i Rana has seen northern lights activity on 80 to 100 nights each winter between November and April, making it an ideal location for this unforgettable experience. While sightings can’t be guaranteed—it is a hunt, after all—the guides monitor forecasts to choose the best nights and locations for success. The tour includes transportation, warm clothing, snowshoes, poles, camera equipment, and refreshments, all designed to make the adventure as comfortable and memorable as possible. Please note the tour requires a minimum of three participants, though solo travelers or smaller groups are welcome to book by paying for three.
