Tromsø: Aurora Hunt with Citizen Science

Head to the wilderness in northern Norway on a quest for the best spot to see the northern lights. Drive away from light pollution to different remote destinations, depending on the weather conditions.
After you have met your guide, there will be a short introduction. Then you’ll start the hunt for the northern lights.
Your guide will decide the route based on the most up-to-date weather forecasts, sometimes driving all the way to the Finnish border. In the region, there are many different microclimates, so it is possible to find clear skies even when it is cloudy in Tromsø.
Once your guide finds the best spot with clear skies, you will change into thermal suits and wait for the lights to appear. If the conditions allow it, the guide will make a bonfire to keep warm. Relax, enjoy a warm homemade meal, get to know your group, and photograph the amazing natural phenomenon of the northern lights.
During the trip, your guide will help you with your camera and take additional photos to share with you after the trip.
By joining us, you’re not only experiencing the magic of the Northern Lights but also helping protect the local environment!
We’re committed to conservation, regenerative travel, and protecting the Arctic nature. During our time together in the wilderness, we’ll follow a scientific method to collect valuable data for one of our citizen science projects. After gathering data, it’s uploaded to our research partners’ database, where it’s used in environmental studies and to guide our Responsible Tourism Project, where we work with other local tourism professionals.
Relax by the campfire with hot chocolate before returning to your selected drop-off location.
