The view to the north from Brändön has only low islands and the sea of the Bay of Bothnia. This makes for an uninterrupted view of the northern sky and if conditions are right the northern lights. To maximise this experience, we take a short boat tour at dusk out to one of the nearby islands. Here we will make a small fire on the beach, prepare some snacks and drinks and wait, hopefully, for the magical northern lights. A second option includes an extra hour and our guide will cook a fantastic outdoor dinner on the island.
