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.
