Offered in: English

Step into a cozy minibus and travel with a local guide who knows these valleys and fjords by heart. We keep your group small to ensure personal attention, space to relax, and we use our camera to capture the moment when the aurora appears.

Gain insight into the traditional Sami nomadic way of life, and hear local stories about the coastal communities in Arctic Norway. Learn how to capture the perfect photo, and take home memories and images to treasure.

Instead of stopping at crowded viewpoints, we usually head to a private campsite, far from city lights. But we choose the tours location based on todays weather, so we will go where the chances are the best.

At our location we will make a campfire and enjoy hot chocolate or herbal tea by the fire, and taste traditional snacks and a hearty meal made from local ingredients. All while you hear stories and enjoy the northern lights dancing above!

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.
