Tonight, you’ll get your first taste of the magic of the Arctic wilderness. You’ll travel out of town and to the mountainous Advent Valley where a special wilderness camp awaits. Here, you are in prime Aurora territory.

Today, following breakfast, you’ll explore the wilderness further. Jumping onto an electric snowmobile, these quiet machines will allow you to experience the Arctic silence as you move swiftly over the snowy trails. 

Without the disturbance of sound, you’re less likely to disrupt the wildlife in the area. Your guide will be on the lookout for reindeer, polar foxes, and polar bears. You will be out for approximately 3 hours. Please note, you must hold a driving licence and be over 18 to drive a snowmobile. 

Tonight, you’ll get another opportunity to search for the Northern Lights. You’ll travel in unique style on a snowcat – with ample window space to keep your eyes on the skies. Making your way out of town and into the darkness, you’ll be in an excellent Northern Lights location where hopefully, the green lights will start to dance. You will be out for approximately 2.5 hours.

Fill up on breakfast because today, you’ll get to experience the exceptional Arctic activity of a husky safari. Upon first meeting them, the dogs will sound very loud and excited as they are as eager as you to start the trip. Once they take to the trails, all you’ll hear is the sounds of the paws on the snow and your sled being gently pulled into the vast valley. You’ll travel two or three per sled and will each have the opportunity to try mushing.

Back at the husky centre, you’ll have the opportunity to meet the rest of the huskies for cuddles and photographs. You will be out for approximately 4 hours.
