Tromsø: Aurora Borealis, Campfire, Hot Meal, Arctic Tour

Join us on an exciting Arctic experience to spot the Northern Lights this winter! Your night begins in our shop by the harbor for hot drinks and a meet and greet with your guide for the evening, who will explain the conditions of the night and the plan for where you will have the best chances to spot the lights. It's also a good idea to use the restroom at our shop before leaving, as toilet facilities may not be available during the chase itself. Once everyone is ready to depart, your guide will escort you and your group to our comfortable luxury Mercedes Sprinter where you will meet your professional driver and set off on your adventure! As you drive through the majestic Arctic landscapes, your guide will keep you entertained with fascinating facts about Northern Norway, fun stories and local legends, and even some of the science behind the Northern Lights. Once you arrive at the perfect spot for the night, you'll gear up with your thermal suit provided (be sure to bring along layers, thick socks, thick shoes, mittens, etc.) and disembark to set up camp. Around a campfire, you'll then enjoy a freshly made hot meal from a local restaurant under the starry sky, all while listening to stories and watching for the lights overhead. When the lights do appear, your guide will advise you on the best aurora photography practices, as well as take professional photos of you and the group, which can be purchased 48 hours after the tour (one high-definition portrait is included per person, free of charge). Depending on the conditions, we may need to switch locations, but in total the tour lasts between 5-7 hours based on where we need to drive for the best chances. Upon returning to Tromsø, you will be dropped back off safely at your hotel, and if you are staying outside the city center, we can arrange a taxi service to drive you home once we return.
