OUR NORTHERN LIGHTS TOUR PROMISE 1 Watch Why Northern Lights Is Just Better With Chan Brothers Travel Dedicated Northern Lights Hunting 3 With A Professional Photographer Hunting down the mysterious Aurora Borealis can be an elusive adventure but this does not mean you have to leave it entirely to chance. Garnering the expertise and updated knowledge of top local guides with professional photography services provided for selected tours, our dedicated team strives to bring you to the best locations for the maximum chance to meet the Northern Lights. Well-Located Accommodation And Full-Glass Igloo Experience The choice of accommodation may often make or break a vacation and this cannot be even more true in a Northern Lights expedition. Stay at city-centre hotels for the best of convenience and comfort. Relax in carefully selected abodes in the outskirts with low light pollution and catch glimpses of the Northern Lights even without hunting. And when it comes to the quintessential experience, we offer a curated selection of higher-end glass igloos from full-glass luxurious properties to world- famous igloo villages. 2 Hunting For All Ages The Aurora Borealis often only shows up in the wild terrains of the extreme north but the search does not always need to be tedious. For the elderly and the young, we have options in which you do not even have to move a limb — cue the jeep and bus.

4 Comprehensive Inclusions Filled to the brim with must-do activities including a full range of native rides such as reindeer sleighs and husky sled safaris, our itineraries are bursting at the seams with all you need for a great Arctic Circle escapade. 5 Authentic Meal Inclusions Featuring more meal inclusions than the current mass-market offerings, we aim to work on your taste buds while we indulge the window to your soul at the same time. Whether it is the wholesome Scandinavian diet, exotic Sami cuisine or the freshest Nordic seafood, you are guaranteed to be well powered every step of the way during your Northern Lights hunt. 6 Exclusive Experiences Tick quintessential sights and must-do activities but we do not just stop there. Aiming to go above and beyond with more insider experiences and off-the-beaten-path discoveries, we add in value-added bonuses such as winding down with a cool sip at Kiruna’s Icehotel surrounded by snow and ice and a chance to encounter over 50 native arctic animals at Ranua Wildlife Park in the heart of true Lappish wilderness.

A GUIDE TO THE WORLD’S BEST NATURAL LIGHT SHOW Finland Rovaniemi Every day is Christmas in Rovaniemi, the official hometown of Santa Claus. Meet Santa and his elves in the flesh and soak up the Christmas atmosphere in the Santa Claus village. Rovaniemi is the only major city in the world that lies directly on the Arctic Circle. Enjoy the endless summer days or romantic twilight in the winter. If you are lucky, you can see the Northern Lights directly from the city centre, but feel free to jump on a reindeer safari or snowmobile to hunt for the lights farther from the city in the wilderness.  Norway Tromso It is easy to see why Tromso, commonly known as the capital of the Arctic, is the most popular destination to experience the Northern Lights. A compact city bustling with life, Tromso has something for everyone. Visit the Arctic Cathedral, Polaria, one of Tromso’s many museums, or join in the lively year-round cultural bashes and nightlife. Prefer nature and the great outdoors? Head to the stunning mountains and fjords that surround the city for some hiking, fishing or kayaking. Situated right in the middle of the aurora zone, Tromso is also an excellent destination to observe the Northern Lights. Take your pick and hunt down the lights by boat, bus, dog sled or snowmobile.

Russia Murmansk The biggest town above the Arctic Circle, Murmansk is easily accessible and an ideal base to hunt for the Northern Lights – head to the dramatic coastline of Teriberka, travel to Kurovsk near Mt Khibiny or simply take a short drive out of the city to meet the lights in the wild. Iceland Reykjavik There is certainly an air of mystery combined with cool around Iceland’s capital city, Reykjavik. Experience art, culture, history and a very vibrant music scene amidst the spectacular natural wonders that surround this city. Swim in the Blue Lagoon geothermal spa, take in the amazing Gullfoss Waterfall at the Golden Circle or gaze in wonder at the many geysers and glaciers that Iceland has to offer. Head for Grotta Lighthouse, Miklatun or Hljomskalagarour parks, where there is less light pollution, in the city to view the Northern Lights. Sweden Kiruna And Abisko In all its wintry coldness, Kiruna is blessed with clear, starry skies. Untainted by light pollution, the Northern Lights here is simply breathtaking and a sight to behold. From Abisko, a small village located right under the aurora oval offers the most optimum conditions in the world for Northern Lights viewing.

TASTE THE ARCTIC Freshest Catch Of The Day One of the best ways to experience culture is with your taste buds and when in the Arctic Circle and Nordic countries, seafood reigns supreme. With cold water temperatures almost all year round guaranteeing the freshest of produce, the culinary phrase “Freshest Catch of the Day” is truly what it means, literally, in this part of the world. King Crab Feast Fancy going on a mission to hunt down massive king crabs out on the icy waters and savouring all their succulent goodness straight after? If you are a food lover that is passionate about fresh produce and unique culinary experiences, it probably cannot get any fresher and more authentic than this all-you-can-eat king crab feast. Icelandic Lobster Feast If you are a true lover of seafood, you are in for a luxurious lobster treat in Iceland. When it comes down to these sweetest-tasting crustaceans, Nordic natives simply just cook them in their own juices, mix in some herbs and a squeeze of lemon, and there you have it – a salivating feast of the ocean like no other.

SLEEP UNDER THE TECHNICOLOUR SKY Glass Igloos You almost cannot have a better front-row view of the Northern Lights than simply laying comfortably in your glass igloo and gazing towards the sky. Whether it is chilling out in luxurious igloos complete with all the modern amenities, dozing off in the comfort of your bed surrounded by the magical northern landscape of pine forests far away from the city lights, or simply waking up to the glorious Aurora Borealis, retiring for the night in a glass igloo is certainly an Arctic experience you do not want to miss. Deluxe Seaside Lodges Snuggle up to all your creature comforts at one of the world’s most extraordinary accommodation experiences complete with top-notch facilities and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience the otherworldly beauty of the Aurora Borealis if you are in luck.

Finland With the Aurora Borealis gracing the clear sky of Lapland nearly 200 nights a year, Finland is hands down one of the best spots in the Arctic to meet nature’s most spectacular light show. But that is not all the magic conjuring up Finland’s winter coat sleeves – cue Santa Claus, everyone’s favourite festive hero, beckoning you to his snowy white hometown with arms wide open. Chasing the Northern Lights with a belly full of jolly, welcome to the fairy-tale wonderland that is Finland.

Located in the spectacular Finnish Lapland deep in the heart of the forest lies the charming Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort – where you can lay under the stars and fall under the spell of the Northern Lights all at once in the comfort of our iconic glass igloos.
