Tromso, Norway

Offered in: Norwegian and 1 more

This is a real Northern Lights chase, guided by a local Sami/Norwegian guide, and the route is decided on the day of the tour based on the latest weather, cloud cover and aurora forecasts.

To give our guests the best possible chance of seeing the Northern Lights, we may drive long distances and, when necessary, we can travel all the way to Finland if conditions are better there. Please bring your passport or national ID in case we cross the border.

We also have access to several private viewing locations reserved exclusively for our guests. When conditions are good at these spots, we prefer to go there so our guests can enjoy a quieter experience, away from the crowds and other tour groups.

Please dress warmly in winter clothing, including thermal layers, hat, gloves and warm shoes. Temperatures can be very cold, while waiting outside at night.

The duration of the tour may vary depending on driving distance. So we recommend not booking early morning activities the next day.

Itinerary

Duration: 5 to 7 hours (approximately)
  • Tromso (Pass by)

    Your evening starts at Kirkegata 2, where you meet your guide and travel into the quiet valleys and fjords surrounding Tromsø. Using local knowledge and updated forecasts, we head toward the areas with the best chance of clear skies, sometimes close to the Finnish border. Along the way, your guide shares stories about Sámi traditions and Arctic life. The journey is relaxed and personal, giving you time to enjoy the landscape as we leave the city lights behind. When we find the right spot, we set up a small camp far from crowds and light pollution. A bonfire is lit, and you can enjoy hot chocolate or herbal tea, traditional snacks, and a warm meal made from local ingredients. The campfire creates a warm and natural atmosphere while we watch the sky and wait for the aurora to appear. Your guide helps with photography and captures pictures for you throughout the night. When the experience comes to an end, we return to Tromsø and drop you off at your hotel.
