Full day hike with lunch
Experience a spectacular journey filled with scenic mountain and fjord views, capturing unforgettable moments along the ascent, culminating in a serene lunch at the summit.
The tour
We will meet at our office in Narvik at 9:00 and present the plan for the day: what are the weather conditions, where we are going and why. If we can, we try to stay in the Narvik area but we can drive up to 1hr away. Our priority is to offer you the best possible day hike given the conditions. The places could be Olbogfjellet, Kjærna, Steinhytta, Daltinden, Rånkeipen etc. If you have a preference, let us know!
Embark on a breathtaking journey filled with panoramic vistas of majestic mountains and stunning fjords! As we ascend to the summit, immerse yourself in the beauty of the landscapes, capturing unforgettable moments with your camera while indulging in delicious snacks along the way. Upon reaching the peak, bask in the awe-inspiring scenery, savor a delightful lunch amidst nature's grandeur, and cherish the serene moments before we begin our descent back. It's a perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and picture-perfect memories waiting for you on this unforgettable hike!

Is the tour suitable for children?It's not ideal for them but we believe every kid is different and you're the one who knows them best! From experience kids need to be at least 8 years old to enjoy the activity. However, have in mind that it can be late and "boring" to them (lots of waiting!). Give us a call if you have a doubt, we'll be happy to talk through it together :-)

4 to 7 hours? How long is actually the tour?It depends on each night. Some nights we have to drive far (all the way to Abisko in Sweden!) and can be back around 1am or later. Other nights we are lucky to have the northern lights very close to Narvik and if we see them early, we could be back before 23:00. We consider there isn't a fixed schedule to follow, every show is unique so flexibility and patience are key to spot the northern lights :-) We always let you know what's our plan for the evening when we meet.
-
What are the chances of seeing the northern lights?On the overall, the chances are good most nights in Narvik area. We evaluate daily the chances for the evening based on weather forecasts and solar activity reports from the NASA and then decide to run the tour or not. We will share our evaluation honestly with you so feel free to ask us! If we consider chances are very low, we will warn all guests and potentially cancel the tour. You then get a full refund. Keep in mind that northern lights are a natural phenomenon hard to predict and impossible to control... :-)
-
What's your success rate?We're happy to spot the northern lights more than 90% of the time. We believe it is thanks to a thorough evaluation of weather forecasts and solar activity reports by our team. When chances are too low, we prefer not to run the tour so we guarantee you can trust us regarding this. We want to see the lights as much as you do! When we do not see the lights, we have usually found clear sky, it's just that the northern lights don't show up, and that we have no control over.
-
Do I get a refund if we don't see the northern lights?The answer is pretty straightforward, no. First because the costs are the same for us whether we see the northern lights or not. Second because there is much more to the tour than just seeing the northern lights. You will learn how to chase them, how to find a good spot, which app to use, how to take pictures and more! Even if we don't see the northern lights... :-) We want to see them as much as you do and we will be giving our best! It's part of the magic and nobody has control over nature. What we do guarantee you is that we only run tours when we consider there are chances of spotting them.
