Our Aurora hunting adventure gives you the chance to get to grips with this environment in a variety of ways. You will take part in an epic snowmobile safari and try out your dog sledding skills during an unforgettable husky trip.

Group Size
We always try to provide an approximation of the group size you can expect to be with for the duration of each of our holidays. It may be that you are joined by others for parts of your holiday (such as transfers and particular activities) but the above number reflects those you can normally expect to be with from beginning to end. If group size is something which is particularly important to you, please speak to our Travel Experts and they can suggest the best holidays for you.
Tailor-made holiday group sizes will vary for all activities as will the group size for any additional activities you book.
Minimum numbers required for a holiday to operate
Some of our holidays require a minimum number of participants to operate (as listed in the ‘Group Size’ section). If your holiday departure has not yet reached the minimum number, you will be told at the time of booking. In the unlikely event that your chosen date is not guaranteed by nine weeks before your scheduled departure date, we will contact you to discuss the available options as per our booking conditions.

Itinerary amendments
The order of activities listed in this agenda is provided for guidance only, your final and detailed itinerary will be provided either with your final travel documents (which are uploaded into your online account around a week prior to departure) or upon arrival.
Medical History and Advice
We want our holidays to be accessible as they can be and will do our best to accommodate any special requests and requirements where possible. We have a wide range of holidays and destinations and so our travel experts will help find the best holiday for you.
In order to give us the best possible chance to do this, we ask that if you or any member of your party has any medical condition or disability which may affect your holiday or has any special requirements, that you tell us at the time of enquiry or booking. You must also promptly advise us if any medical condition or disability which may affect your holiday develops after your booking has been confirmed. You may need to provide a doctor’s note and proof of insurance in some cases as the health and safety of our clients is absolutely paramount.
In providing this information you are allowing us to work with our expert local partners to ensure that your whole party can enjoy the holiday. By letting us know in advance we can discreetly work with you to adapt any part of the holiday which may potentially be challenging. Being able to prepare for this in advance makes an incredible difference to what we can offer and minimises any impact on your party and the rest of the group.
Unfortunately, if you choose not to share this information with us in advance then it may limit some or all of the itinerary you have booked, and we cannot be held accountable for any additional costs or missed activities resulting from this.

Insurance
Insurance is not included in your holiday, but it is a pre-requisite to travelling with us. You will need to ensure that you have cover for all the activities that you will be participating in during your holiday.
It is extremely important that you take out a suitable travel insurance policy at the time of booking. Plans do sometimes change, and you will need this policy should you need to cancel your holiday.
If you are struggling to find a suitable policy then details of our preferred provider, who will cover you for all the activities we offer, can be found on our website by clicking here. Please note that this policy is available to EU residents under the age of 75 only.
Booking Activities Locally
Additional activities can be booked locally in almost all our destinations. However, as per our booking conditions, we cannot be held responsible for any injury or loss incurred through participation in activities which are booked at your destination outside of our holiday itinerary (see our ‘Terms and Conditions’ for further details).
When arranging any such activity please always ensure that safety is your primary concern.
In some of our destinations, you can borrow or hire equipment for use in your free time. You do so entirely at your own risk. You must ensure that you are properly prepared, have the necessary equipment and knowledge (maps, etc) and ensure that where applicable, you follow marked routes. We recommend discussing your plans with the local teams who will be able to advise on the most suitable options for you.
Always let the reception/guide know where you are planning to go and take a torch and mobile phone (with the hotel/guide’s phone number stored). It is also a good idea to leave your contact number and the time you expect to return to the hotel should the hotel need to contact you.
The UK Foreign Office Advice
Our clients’ safety is at the centre of everything we do, and our operations team continually assesses and monitors the destinations we feature. We carry out thorough risk assessments and work closely with all of our suppliers to continually follow best practice. For up to date travel advice the UK government offers its Travel Aware website as well as the advice detailed below.
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office Advice
We receive all updates from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) with regards to travel advice and we always ensure that we follow this advice in our operations. The FCO issues travel advisories for countries based on a very wide range of factors. They may provide notification about things as simple as a football match and crowds, or they may go so far as to advise against all travel to a region. We ask all our clients to refer to the relevant Travel Advice by Country for the destinations they are visiting in order to make an informed decision on the safety of the destination based on the details provided. It also provides vital information regarding entry requirements, embassy information, local laws and customs as well as specific safety and health. Guests should take responsibility for keeping themselves up to date with this advice. Please also ensure that, if you are transiting through another country, you have read the advice and meet the entry requirements for that destination too.
The FCO travel advice is applicable to British Passport Holders. Most governments will issue their own travel advice for a region and, if you are not a UK resident then you can find some helpful links below:
Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade http://www.smartraveller.gov.au/
New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade https://www.mfat.govt.nz/
Canadian Consular Affairs Bureau http://voyage.gc.ca/
The U.S. Bureau of Consular Affairs https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel.html
If the FCO deems that there is an unacceptable level of risk for UK citizens then, together with the government, they may issue an advisory against all travel to a region or country. If such an advisory is published, then we will act accordingly, and this may require the cancellation, curtailment or amendment of a holiday itinerary. These decisions are made on the basis of ensuring our clients’ safety and will affect all clients on the holiday, regardless of their nationality.
If one of our local experts suggests an amendment due to a situation which develops locally then we may also take the decision to amend an itinerary appropriately.
If we have to cancel your holiday prior to departure you will be offered the option of an alternative trip (where any price difference will either be refunded to or covered by you) or a full refund of the monies paid.
If we have to curtail a holiday, then you will be refunded for any costs for the elements we have been unable to deliver, where we have been able to secure a refund from our suppliers. If we must reroute a holiday, then any basis for refund is determined on a case by case basis and dependent on whether the central holiday experience was provided or not.

Flight schedule changes and connecting transportation
On your documentation, we will confirm your flight schedule. Sometimes the flight number, routing and timings might change prior to your departure. If the change is classed as a significant change then we will contact you to discuss this. Please see our booking conditions for details.
Flight schedule changes can impact on your pre and post-holiday travel arrangements if these have been booked separately to your holiday. We strongly recommend that you do not book transport (such as trains or transfers), car parking or non-connecting flights to the departure point for your holiday until you have received your final confirmed travel times when your final travel documents are issued. We are not responsible for the effect of any schedule change on your pre or post travel arrangements. We strongly recommend that you do not purchase non-flexible or non-refundable tickets to avoid cancellation and penalty charges.
Booking your own flights - cancellation disclaimer
If you have chosen to book your own flights, then you will need to wait until we confirm to you that the holiday departure has met the minimum numbers required to run (if applicable to your chosen holiday). Once the holiday is guaranteed to run, you will be informed and you can then make your arrangements.
If transfers are included in your holiday, please ensure that any potential flights will be met by our standard transfers (speak to one of our Travel Experts for advice) otherwise private transfer supplements may be applicable. Once your flights are booked, please send us a copy of your detailed flight itinerary.
Please be aware that most tickets are non-refundable in the case of cancellation. For this reason, we strongly advise you check the rules of the ticket and check the limitations of your cancellation insurance before booking. We cannot be held liable, in the unlikely eventuality that we should be forced to cancel or amend your trip, for losses incurred relating to any flight booking you have made.

DAY 1
Arrival
Upon arrival at Kirkenes Airport, you will be greeted by a guide who will transfer you to your hotel accommodation. You have a choice of two centrally-located hotels, both of which offer excellent facilities for guests and are less than 15 minutes' drive from the airport.
You will arrive at the hotel late in the evening; if you have not already eaten you may enjoy a meal in your hotel's restaurant.
Included Meals: None -
DAY 2
Snowmobiling and Northern Lights Hunt
After breakfast at the hotel, you are taken straight out to explore Norway's wild frontier in true Arctic style. The most effective way to cover the distance in a wilderness environment such as this is by snowmobile, so today you will set off on an exhilarating safari covering around 70-80 kilometres!
Following full instruction and a safety briefing from your guide, you will travel two people per snowmobile and will be out for approximately six hours. There will be the chance to swap drivers (providing you both have full driving licences and are over 18 ) allowing you both to take control of the snowmobile and travel as a passenger, enjoying the scenery. This thrilling trip will lead you through the high mountains of Northern Norway to a small village on the edge of the Barents Sea. This is an incredible place to see and you will be able to witness what everyday rural life is like in this extreme location.
Continuing on, you will visit an historic chapel before heading back to base for some warm drinks and a well-deserved light lunch at the snowmobile base.
Back at the hotel, there will be a couple of hours for you to rest prior to your inaugural Northern Lights hunt (starting around 9 pm). Your knowledgeable guide will check the forecasts and decide where your best chance of seeing the Northern Lights lies. Travelling by minibus, you’ll use mobility to your advantage as you travel to a carefully selected lookout spot where you will hopefully be greeted with the phenomenal light display.
Included Meals: Breakfast, Lunch -
DAY 3
Husky Safari and Kirkenes Snowhotel
Travelling by dog sled evokes a sense of Arctic adventure that is hard to surpass. Today you will travel in time-honoured fashion during a husky safari.
In the morning, you will transfer (approximately one hour) to the Pasvikdalen Valley for a short sightseeing tour on the way to the husky farm. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the unique nature and culture of these remote borderlands areas. Upon arrival at the husky farm, you will meet with the expert mushers and their dogs. You will immediately see the remarkable bond which the dogs share with their devoted guides; they really do work as a team. Born and bred in this region the huskies are working dogs with seemingly endless enthusiasm for the trails. While they will no doubt be barking in excited anticipation when you arrive, they soon quieten down when you release the brakes and they are free to run.
You will be given full instructions on how to handle your sled and husky pack before setting off in pairs on the trails. One of you will travel as the passenger while the other controls the sled; should you wish, there will also be the chance to swap drivers.
You will cover a total distance of approximately 20-25km during your safari. Upon your return to the farm, lunch will be served and you can enjoy warm drinks as you let the experiences of the morning sink in. You will be out for approximately 6.5 hours, including transfers.
There will then be a very short stop at the hotel before the evening's visit to one of Kirkenes' most famous attractions: the famous Snowhotel, around 10 minutes from the town.
This unique piece of snow and ice architecture is a real marvel and is home to Norway's largest ice-bar. The hotel houses numerous suites and rooms (typically around 25), all of which are crafted to the highest standard and feature ice sculptures and snow art which is all accented by wonderful lighting. You can explore at your leisure and perhaps enjoy an aperitif at the ice-bar before your three-course evening meal is served in the well-known Gabba restaurant a short distance away. The menus here are renowned for their delicious seasonal, local produce and you are sure to enjoy a taste of Lapland tonight.
For those of you who want to really make the most of this spectacular monument to winter accommodation, we highly recommend upgrading to spend the night in one of the rooms here. It's an unforgettable experience to sleep in a room crafted entirely from snow and ice, tucked up warmly in your Arctic-grade sleeping bag and admiring the art which surrounds you. Full details about sleeping at the Snowhotel can be found in the 'Personalise' section of this holiday page.
Included Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner -
DAY 4
Free Day and Northern Lights King Crab Snowmobile Tour
Today has been left free for you to explore the town and relax following your packed schedule so far. You can enjoy lunch in one of the cafés and restaurants and perhaps pick up some souvenirs in town or visit one of the local museums before your evening activity.
You can also book a session of guided snowshoeing, where you will be out and about for approximately 2 hours in the surrounding wilderness. This will take place in the early afternoon and will feature stops to take pictures. See the ‘Personalise’ section for more details.
The Grenseland Museum is a popular attraction and provides an insight into the traditions, culture and economy of this region as well as showcasing some traditional artworks. It offers a well-rounded view of the region and is an interesting option for your free time.
Having ticked the Snowhotel off your Kirkenes checklist it's time for the next, as you encounter one of the most famous residents in the area, the king crab.
At around 6 pm you will be transferred to a local harbour where your purpose is to haul in the giant crab pots from the freezing waters below. The crabs are gigantic and their leg span has been found to be as wide as 5ft 9 inches! These animals are synonymous with the region and have become prolific in the deep waters here (if ice conditions are good, you will be driving a snowmobile to one of the catching places on the ice - two people per snowmobile).
Afterwards, you will go on a snowmobile safari. You will make numerous stops at some of your guide's favourite viewpoints in order to gaze at the sky and search for the Northern Lights. Throughout, you will travel with two people per snowmobile, with your guide choosing the most appropriate route for the conditions. The driver must be at least 18 years old and hold a valid driving licence.
As long as the trail conditions permit, you will stop off at a Norwegian farm, dating back to 1854. Here, you can gain further insight into how people have forged a living this far above the Arctic Circle.
After your Aurora hunting, you will head back to base for dinner. The crabs will have been cooked up and prepared ahead of your return and will form the main element in this evening's meal. You will dine in a traditional lavvu tent which is a wonderfully atmospheric place to end the day.
Included Meals: Breakfast, Dinner -
