A private departure gives your party a more personal evening with a guide focused on your group. The exact pacing and viewing stops can be adapted to conditions and the practical needs of your party.

How flexible is the route? ▾

The guide uses the latest cloud and weather conditions to choose the most promising accessible area. Flexibility is part of the experience because the best viewing direction can change during the evening.
