Northern Lights - NORWAY 2012/13

Back due to popular demand! 2012/13 is the 2nd year that Simply Sweden will be organising this northern lights holiday to Norway and Tromso. We've added a few more activities to continue to give you best chances of seeing the Northern Lights in the picturesque coastal town of Tromso.

This holiday brings you some of the best opportunities to see the Northern Lights. Because of the rotation of the Earth, Tromso often lies directly under the Northern Lights activity belt between 6pm & midnight, even when the solar activity is low.

We have some suggested activities for you but you may wish to tailor your own holiday to suit you. One of the options is by including our Northern Lights Fjords Cruise. Please ask for our expert advice.

Depending on your flight arrival time there may be time for an evening activity.

Day 2
Wake up in the heart of Tromso to a hearty breakfast and the snow covered views of Norwegian Lapland. Choose whether to have a day at leisure or head off on a 30hr husky tour to a wilderness camp.

Holiday notes
Price includes flights from UK, airport transfers & 3 nights bed & breakfast at hotel Bryggen. Activities are extras.

It is important to note that some of the snow based activities may not be available in October or November as these are subject to the snow conditions at the time.

The Northern Lights are a natural phenomena and can never be guaranteed. There are many theories about the best place and best time of year to see them. One thing is certain. They are very much real and Lapland in Sweden & Norway is a great place to see them and a great place to enjoy a winter holiday.
