Aurora hunting and arctic experiences in Vadsø
Aurora Labs was founded by Sergiu Curelea, an aurora hunter and arctic guide with a doctorate in materials science, based in Vadsø. The company combines two passions – northern lights and science – and offers aurora hunting in small groups, guided tours in Vadsø and road trips along the National Tourist Road Varanger. Vadsø is favorably located for northern lights, with minimal light and air pollution and many clear nights throughout the winter. Aurora Labs focuses on niche tourism and an authentic arctic experience, with small groups and plenty of time for each guest. Optional additional activities such as snowmobile and dog sledding are arranged with local partners, and the company also provides practical assistance for guests in the region.
