Overview

The Aurora Hunt: A Night to Remember

Most people wouldn’t dare venture into the Arctic from late October to early April. But you’re not most people. You’re bold, fearless—and totally badass.

Seeing the Northern Lights is a dream on nearly everyone’s bucket list—and for good reason. This breathtaking natural phenomenon leaves you speechless the first time you witness it dancing across the sky.

Thinking of Iceland? Think again. We’re heading somewhere even more magical—Murmansk, a hidden gem tucked away in the far north of Russia, near the borders of Norway and Finland. This Arctic town experiences over 40 days of continuous night, offering some of the best chances in the world to see the Aurora Borealis in all its glory.

Despite its remote location, Murmansk is home to over 300,000 people, so you get the perfect balance of Arctic wilderness and urban comfort. It’s the best of both worlds—raw nature and modern living, all in one unforgettable trip.
