You will increase your chances by getting away from the lights of town and learn moree about fascinating display while enjoying a hearty all-inclusive dinner.

DAY 2
The Polar Night is a particularly atmospheric the time of year, and dog sledding under starry skies, dancing aurora or glittering moonlight is an experience not to be missed. The guide will drive first with two guests in their larger sled, and the group will follow in two person sleds. Participants will be able to swap between mushing and enjoying the scenery from the sled. Out in the dark we will turn off our headlights, and after a short time the contours of the mountains will appear. Looking south, we can see that it is lighter towards the horizon. The snow covered landscape reflects light from the moon, stars and, if we are lucky, the northern lights – and it is astonishing to note just how much you can see in this magical period.

DAY 3
Starry skies, moon light on the snow or the aurora lighting up the magical landscape. Join us for an atmospheric experience in the Polar Night! In the period between November 14 and January 29 each year, a remarkable phenomenon occurs on Svalbard – The Polar Night. During these weeks the sun is at least 6 degrees under the horizon and therefore never shines on Spitsbergen. While the sun is hidden under the horizon, Longyearbyen becomes a magical place lit only by streetlamps, the northern lights and the moon which glitters in the snow. Don`t forget that during the Polar Night you have double the chance of seeing the Northern Lights and they are often visible during daytime hours.

DAY 4
Transfer to the airport.
