We are incredibly lucky to see northern light over a clear sky. The tour guide (Herman) is energetic and he knows everything about northern light. This trip is not only about chasing the lights, but also learn about the science behind. What an amazing experience!

Full description

Search for the northern lights on this day trip from Tromsø. Journey through the microclimates surrounding Tromsø in search of clear skies. Get your picture taken with the northern lights by your guide and stay toasty with thermal suits, hot packs, a fire, and warm food and drinks.
Before picking you up from the meeting place in a comfortable vehicle, your guide will carefully analyze the weather forecast in order to take you to the areas where the clearest sky is expected that night. Board the bus and relax on a drive through the wilderness.
Once a proper location to observe the Aurora Borealis has been found, the bonfire begins. Enjoy piping hot drinks, reindeer or vegetarian sausages, and cookies. Thermal suits and boots are provided to make sure that you stay warm and cozy during the tour.
Share in your guide's passion for photography as you take night shots of the northern lights. All pictures taken during the tour will be sent to you the next day. Bring your own camera and use your guide's tripods. Return to your hotel in the city center.

This Northern Lights tour was nothing short of magical. From start to finish, everything was flawlessly executed, even amidst heavy snow and intense blizzards. Our bus driver handled the treacherous roads with impressive skill and calm, making us feel safe the entire journey. But it was our guide who truly made the night unforgettable—his deep knowledge of the aurora borealis, from the science behind it to the best times and places to witness it, was remarkable. Against all odds, he found the one clear patch of sky in a region blanketed with clouds and snow, giving us a breathtaking view of the Northern Lights. He didn’t stop there—he captured stunning professional photos, set up a warm campfire, shared fascinating stories, and treated us to delicious hot chocolate, reindeer sausage, and traditional Finnish cookies. It felt like stepping into a dream, one I’ll never forget.
