Private Tour
Chasing Northern Lights in Nuuk
Overview
Available languages

Mobile ticket
Chase the dancing Northern Lights and explore every corner of Nuuk city on this 2-hour PRIVATE tour by car! You can join alone or come with a maximum of 4 people!
We will drive you to the darkest places in the city for panoramic views of one of the highlights of the Arctic winter. During the tour, your local guide will tell you a little about Nuuk and the Northern Lights, and is always happy to answer your questions about Greenland.
It is likely to be chilly. It is the Arctic winter after all! Our car is heated and you can always retreat inside if you get too cold, but make sure you bring heavy outer layers, a woolen hat, scarf, and gloves/mittens so you can stay outside as much as possible. We will also warm you up with a hot chocolate during the tour.
Remember Northern lights are unpredictable and may not appear during the tour. If you are unlucky and don't get to see them on the tour, we will rebook you on another night for FREE!

5.00We had a great tour with our guide Mess. Our challenge was that it was at 10pm still to much light. After driving around till 11pm Mess found a good location and we saw powerful Northern Lights.
Caught...a Northern Lights caught!

5.00It was a great experience. I was picked up from the hotel and given a very warm welcome. The guide Inesa showed her enthusiasm for the Northern Lights and during the car rides she told us about the wonderful Greenland and the conditions and was interested in my input. We experienced the Northern Lights together. Full of happiness, with the Northern Lights and a huge shooting star in my backpack, she brought me back to the hotel. It was a wonderful experience... full of happiness, fun and a cool breeze. Thank you so much for everything! I'd be happy to do it again any time!
Absolutely worth it!

5.00Mads was awesome as a guide, we unfortunately missed the lights on our first outing but Mads was determined to make sure we didn’t miss them completely. He chatted to us each day about the likelihood of the lights for that night and when our chances were high he came straight to our hotel to pick us up and get us a viewing. I would definitely recommend this tour!
Unforgettable first time seeing aurora

5.00Wonderful tour and host. Mads was kind enough to take us out for multiple nights to ensure we got the best sighting. We greatly enjoyed his recommendations and perspective on Nuuk, and the adventure was the highlight of our tour. This experience is a must.
