Check datesWhat the northern lights husky tour is (and isn't)
It is a quiet evening in the forest with the dogs: you walk a short way with a guide and a husky or two, which carry the bags, to a hidden fire spot. The guide lights a bonfire, makes coffee on it, and teaches you how to build one if you want; if you'd rather have the fire to yourselves, the guide can leave and come back later.
It is not a sled ride and not a long hike. If driving a team is the point of your trip, book the Sulitjelma sled tour in the daytime or the Saltdal day trip.

Northern lights husky tour: chances of seeing the aurora
The northern lights are visible around Bodø from September to April on clear, dark nights. Inland Sulitjelma is far from town light, which helps, but cloud decides everything, so no tour can promise a sighting. Book the latest slot available and check the cloud forecast; with free cancellation up to 24 hours before, you can move the date if the sky looks closed.
