General information

The tour is operated by GuideGunnar.

This northern lights tour treats you to traditional Norwegian snacks around the campfire and has GuideGunnar's Theatre of Food, a hot meal prepared by GuideGunnar over the open camp fire, as an optional extra for groups up to eight guests.

En route to the lights there will be an on-screen introduction to the fascinating physics and cultural history behind the Northern Lights. GuideGunnar tours are run in a high-quality, warm and spacious minibus (17 seats).

Theatre of Food menu options

The Theatre of Food concept originates from my first Aurora season autumn 2006 where I served dinner in a lavvu (sami tent) by the fjord on Kvaløya island.
