The Aurora Hideaways are small “restaurants” that are moved around in the archipelago and the best place is chosen each night depending on weather and ice conditions – a candle lit dinner somewhere out on the frozen arctic sea.
The experience starts with a snowmobile sled transfer and a welcome drink on arrival. Enjoy a 3 course meal with plenty of opportunity to go outside in between courses and look out for the northern lights, listen to absolute silence and marvel at the stars in the sky. Snowshoes are also available on the tour so that you can go for a short walk while the guide prepares your meal.
Drinks are not included and to be paid locally.
Please note this is not a private dining experince and the experience maybe shared with others.
I understand that one size doesn’t fit all, and that’s why you have the freedom to design your experience, your way.
