PRACTICAL QUESTIONS
The questions everyone asks first
If yours is not here, ask in the form below.
FIRST VISIT
Which tour suits a first visit?
Take the city tour if you have a few hours. Choose one stand-alone Arctic experience if you have a day, or the three-day package for the Northern Lights, Teriberka and the Sami village together.
NORTHERN LIGHTS
Can you guarantee the Northern Lights?
No. We check the season and the forecast before we go, but the sky has the final say.
COMBINATIONS
Can I combine several tours?
Yes. The city tour and Northern Lights hunt fit naturally into one day; Teriberka and the Sami village work best as separate day tours. Tell us your dates and we will arrange the order.
STARTING POINT
Where do the tours begin?
In Murmansk. We confirm the exact meeting point with you before the tour.
SEASON
When is the Northern Lights season?
From late August to early April, when the nights are dark enough. Mid-winter is the darkest but has the harshest weather; September is gentler — dark enough for the lights, mild enough to stand and watch them.
