Experience Aurora Borealis with Kirker Holidays

Kirker Holidays is offering tailor-made itineraries to three Nordic destinations this winter.

Whilst there is always an element of luck (and favourable weather conditions) involved in Aurora Borealis sightings, the operator has chosen remote parts of Iceland and Scandinavia (where light pollution is at a minimum) for its Northern Lights trips.

It has also included the expertise of a local guide to maximise the chance of clients witnessing a display.

Kirker can tailor-make short breaks and multi-centre itineraries to suit clients’ specific requirements and budgets, across Iceland, Sweden and Norway this winter, including the following sample itineraries:

… with a South Iceland Extension: Add a two-night stay in the rural south of Iceland at the four-star Hotel Ranga, where open-air Jacuzzis provide a luxurious spot from which to view the Northern Lights.
