Overview

Meet your guide in central Tromsø and travel by comfortable minibus while learning about the night’s weather, route, and chances of seeing the Northern Lights. Along the way, your guide shares insights about the aurora, local history, climate, and wildlife, constantly monitoring forecasts to find the best viewing spot—even if it means driving into Finland.

At the chosen location, enjoy hot chocolate, light snacks, and the Arctic scenery. We aim to light a bonfire when conditions allow, and thermal suits are available if you get cold. When the Northern Lights appear, your guide—also a professional photographer—will take high-quality photos of you to remember the experience.

If needed, we may move between locations to find clear skies. After the tour, you’ll be returned to Tromsø and dropped off at your hotel or accommodation.

Tromso

This is a small-group, outdoor tour tailored especially to explore the Arctic nature while you are hunting for the Northern Lights. The main purpose is to give you the best chance of seeing the Aurora Borealis by traveling away from city light pollution. Position yourselves under cloud free skies to experience the wild Arctic nature. You will be picked up by your local guides in the city center and start the tour by heading towards beautiful mountains, fjords, and valleys. There will be many stops on the way to take photos of the unique and search for the lights. Where your tour goes depends on the weather conditions, sometimes this is as far as to the Finnish and Swedish border to find the right conditions for the lights. Travel in small groups to create a special, cozy atmosphere. This also makes the tour more flexible. You will be provided with insulated overalls, snacks, and hot drinks. Your guide will take photos on the tour and share them with you after the trip.
