The Grand Aurora adventure allows guests from Singapore to experience the ultimate Northern Lights journey across Scandinavia, visiting world-famous Aurora-spotting destinations and chasing the lights across Norway, Sweden and Finland .
Every winter the Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis as they are otherwise known, light up the Arctic skies across northern Europe in a breathtaking and magical light display caused by solar particles directed at Earth from the Sun. As the Sun is still in the Solar Maximum, a period of heightened activity, there is no better time to be amazed by this spectacular event.
Jonny Cooper, director of Off the Map Travel and Aurora travel expert, explains: "This is a real gem for those who have always dreamed of an Arctic adventure to see the Northern Lights. With the opportunity to not only hunt for Aurora displays across Lapland, guests will also have the chance to do everything from reindeer and dog sledding to visiting the ICEHOTEL, and the chance to learn Aurora photography with a world renowned photographer."
Departing in March 2015 and spread over ten nights accompanied by an expert guide, the adventure starts on the Norwegian coast in Tromso, before turning south to the mountains of Bjorkliden and Abisko in Sweden, finishing with a special stop in the remote wilderness of Kilpisjarvi in Finland. "We wanted to create the ultimate opportunity for those looking to see the Northern Lights and we are really proud that this has been recognised as one of the top active adventure trips of 2015 by the experts at Wanderlust Magazine," added Cooper.
Offering comfort from some of the best places to stay in the Arctic, this is thought to be the most comprehensive Northern Lights tour on the market - a perfect way to tick off the experience that tops numerous 'bucket list' polls.
An incredible ten-night small group guided Grand Aurora tour with Off the Map Travel costs £5,999 per person not including flights. The Grand Aurora includes an expert guide, accommodation on a half board basis, reindeer sledding, a Tromso guided city walk, Northern Lights dinner cruise, an Arctic experience, Alaska trapper dogsledding tour, Lights Over Lapland Aurora and photography evening, Aurora Sky Station trip, a visit to the ICEHOTEL, a three border point snowmobile trip, Northern Lights tour in a snowmobile-pulled sled and a reindeer and culture tour.
