We actually got stuck a little longer than anticipated due to the COVID-19 situation and were there three more nights than we had initially intended bringing our total stay time to 6 nights. How long did you stay and how many times did you see the northern lights? We got to see a talk all about the aurora which was super interesting and gave us a little more insight into the science behind seeing them and if anything, actually made them seem even more magical and incredible. Great! Everyone was so friendly, and it was a wonderful atmosphere. The bus tells you exactly where to get off, so you don’t miss it. We had a connection in Oslo to Bardufoss and then we got picked up in a bus outside the airport that took us to the pickup point for the observatory which was only another 10 minutes away. We travelled from London and actually the journey was incredibly straightforward. How was the journey the observatory? How long did it take from where you were travelling? The whole thing just looked so perfect that I decided to take the risk knowing full well that we might not see the lights and go for it. I’d looked at various places that we could see the lights, but none really offered anything close to what the Aurora Borealis Observatory had in terms of the facility and activities available.

It was that which led me to think about the lights again and how I might be able to plan a trip where we could do two amazing things in one and have it been an experience neither of us could ever forget. So, thinking about what I could do as a proposal I started look at various things and try to plan something special. I had also been with my girlfriend coming up to two years and I knew with absolute certainty that this was the woman I wanted to make my wife. The northern lights have always been a bucket list item for me and something I’ve always wanted to see. When did you first plan a northern lights holiday and why did you choose the aurora borealis observatory? We spoke to one of our final guests of the 2019/20 aurora season about his memories of his unique northern lights holiday which was slightly extended due to the COVID-19 pandemic but most memorable because he proposed to his fiancé underneath the aurora borealis. Our location on the magical island of Senja in northern Norway is not only remote and private but also perfect to observe the northern lights.

Aurora Borealis Observatory Experience: We are proud to build long lasting relationship with our guests during their stay at the Aurora Borealis Observatory.
