Meet your guide in the heart of Tromsø and hop aboard a comfortable minibus. Before setting off, your guide will provide a detailed explanation of the night’s weather conditions, the planned route, and the chances of spotting the Northern Lights.

As you journey toward the best possible viewing location, your guide will share fascinating insights about the Northern Lights, the local area, history, climate, and wildlife. Our guides carefully monitor weather forecasts, ensuring we take you to the most promising location—even if that means crossing the border into Finland.

Once the perfect spot is found, relax with a cup of hot chocolate and take in the Arctic wilderness. We always aim to make a bonfire for extra warmth and atmosphere, but due to weather conditions and long driving distances, this may not always be possible. We bring firewood with us and will make a bonfire whenever conditions allow—but it is not guaranteed. While at the chosen location, enjoy some light snacks and the stunning scenery. Your guide will be available throughout the tour to assist you and answer any questions. If you get cold, thermal suits are available on the minibus to keep you warm.

When the Northern Lights appear, your guide—an experienced photographer—will capture high-quality professional photos of you, as many as you’d like, ensuring you take home incredible memories of the night.

If weather conditions are challenging, we may need to move between multiple locations in search of clear skies. Your guide will continuously monitor the forecast to maximize your chances of witnessing the Aurora. Once the tour comes to an end , we will return to Tromsø, where you will be dropped off at your accommodation or hotel.
