Full description

Join us on our search for the fascinating Northern Lights or the place where the conditions for observing the Northern Lights are most favorable. Whether with the naked eye or through the lens of your camera, observing this natural phenomenon is truly a very special and impressive experience.

Travel to one of the numerous locations we have explored in advance to get the best possible view of the Northern Lights. We are flexible and know our way around. Our dedicated, English-speaking and, above all, local guides lead our Northern Lights Focus Tour in small groups with a maximum of 18 participants per group.

Let's go! North, south, east, or west—whichever direction offers the best conditions on the day. This refers in particular to the locally varying weather conditions, which often differ slightly behind every mountain and every fjord. In any case, we will head out into nature, where it is dark and the sky is free of light pollution and as cloudless as possible.

Strictly speaking, we are not looking for the Northern Lights, but rather the place where you are most likely to see them. As a rule of thumb, wherever you can see stars, you have the best chance of seeing the Northern Lights. And it is precisely this (magical) place – yes, exactly this place – that we want to search for together with you – and, of course, find!

Our local knowledge, our understanding of wind and weather, and our flexibility in choosing the best location are the key to your experience, as they increase your chances of seeing the Northern Lights in all their glory many times over.

Once we arrive at our destination – perhaps a remote fjord – we'll make ourselves comfortable around the campfire, snuggle up in warm thermal overalls, and wait patiently for the show to begin. We'll serve homemade soup, homemade cookies, hot chocolate, and tea. Photos! ... oh yes! We pay special attention to photography on our Northern Lights in Focus tour. Our selected guides are also experienced professional photographers. During this tour, your guide will take numerous photos with their professional camera equipment, including portraits of each of our guests – ideally with the Northern Lights in the background. Your guide will be happy to let you look over their shoulder and advise you on the right settings for your camera. After the tour, we will send you the best pictures selected by your guide according to their professional standards in medium resolution as a souvenir. The small print: Natural phenomena cannot be ordered. We take our time, know the area well and are flexible. Despite all our preparation and commitment, we cannot guarantee that you will see the Northern Lights during our tour.

Includes

  • Experienced guide speaking German and English - Portrait photos as a souvenir - Camera tripods (also for mobile phones) - Transportation in comfortable, well-heated minibuses - Professional drivers with extensive experience in wintery, arctic conditions - Meeting point in the city center
  • Drop-off location: in the city center: Scandic Ishavshotel, Smarthotel, AMI Hotel, Vervet), Ishavskatedralen, Tromsø Camping (Tromsdalen) - Warm winter overalls - Headlamps - Warm meal: homemade soup, hot drinks, pastries ... and lots of fun ;-)

Excellent northern light experience. The standard of the guide and the tour is superior. Although the weather seemed not so well that night, they drove us to a good location so that we could successfully saw the northern light. The guide was very friendly and she also took very beautiful and high standards pictures for us.
