Welcome to Aurora Wonderland Basecamp
Located in beautiful Lyngen, our base camp is surrounded by breathtaking fjords, mountains, and islands. With a good distance from the city, you'll find minimal artificial light pollution—providing optimal conditions for viewing the northern lights.
Step into our Crystal Lavvo for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Sleep in a Lavvo heated by a wood-burning fireplace for an authentic Arctic experience. Equipped with a glass ceiling so you can keep an eye on the sky at all times—even from the comfort of your bed.
Enjoy the freedom of having the whole night to search for the northern lights from the warmth and cosiness of your Lavvo. If you are lucky, you might even catch different “Releases” during the night.
Transport to Basecamp: Enjoy a scenic journey from Tromsø, including a short ferry ride and beautiful views of mountains and fjords.
Lunch: Upon arrival, you'll be served a freshly prepared fish soup (see allergy list below) before we prepare for the activity.
Activity: Join a guided 2 km hike on foot or with snowshoes and explore the Scandinavian nature. Please note: the hike may be adjusted or cancelled depending on weather conditions.
Evening: After dinner, we will tell you about the northern light forecast and get the fire going in your lavvo.
Lavvo Experience: Once your lavvo is heated, one of our guides will bring you there and teach you how to keep the fire going and restart it if needed. Remember, the lavvo is heated by a wood-burning fireplace.
Enjoy: Spend the night in your warm and cosy Lavvo. You’ll have the whole night to search for the northern lights—whether relaxing under the Lavvo’s glass ceiling or wandering around the base camp.
Breakfast: The next morning, we serve a traditional Norwegian breakfast before starting the return trip to Tromsø (city centre). Arrival is around 11:00 a.m.
