Stars and northern light by bus

Experience the breathtaking wonder of the Northern Lights on this evening tour.
Join us on a quest to witness the magical auroras around Sisimiut, traveling by minibus to locations with the highest chances of seeing this natural spectacle.

Our adventure begins at the reception with a locally produced film introducing the science behind the Northern Lights, along with enchanting myths and legends from the Arctic.

While the Northern Lights dance unpredictably across the sky, your chances of witnessing this marvel are nearly 100% on clear, frosty nights. We’ll venture away from light pollution to our vantage point at Arssarnerit, where you can sit or lie back as you gaze at the starry sky while sipping hot cocoa. For a more panoramic view, a short hike up a nearby hill offers stunning 360-degree perspectives of the valley and iconic mountains surrounding Sisimiut.

Next, we’ll head to Asummiut, the original site where Sisimiut was founded, for views of Davidstrædet and Nasaasaaq, framed by the twinkling lights of the city. Dress warmly, as the magic unfolds in the frosty night, and be sure your mobile device is charged for optimal Northern Lights photography!
