About this activity

Already old cultures considered northern lights as one of the most extraordinary and spectacular experience which is never twice the same. That’s why we can chase aurora again and again with hope that tonight it will be surprising and colorful as never before.

If you would like to experience this tour with us, we will take you to some of the best places to watch northern lights where we will be surrounded with magnificent mountains and fjords far away from the city lights and busy civilization. During whole tour we stay in touch with other experienced guides for getting their weather updates and we follow 3 different weather forecasts to make right conclusions where to go.

With our two full frame cameras will are ready to take portraits of you with northern lights in the background, plus northern lights and scenery photos. Timelapse/video we offer in case of nice strong aurora activity. We will gladly help you with our warm dresses and camera tips which you may need here in Arctic.

Itinerary

Tromso

7 hours

Take advantage of our 10 years of Aurora chasing experiences. Our friedly and knowledgeable guide will drive with you up to 250 kilometers from Tromso in order to find for you the best possible weather conditions.

Once, after finding good weather location, our mission is to take nice portraits of you and Aurora, scenic photos and possibly timelapse/video, which we gladly share with you the very next day.

For our custommers who wish to rest little bit, we gladly keep heated minibus at all times (new minibus Mercedes Sprinter).

Our regular tours are usually 6-9 hours long depending on weather conditions and aurora activity.

Arrival times to Tromsø depends alot on distance which we had to cover during our chase, and it could vary from night to night; between 1-3am.
Tromso Fjords

55 min

Tromsø fjords, mountains and journey to Finland are most frequent locations and directions, where we are chasing northern lights and best possible weather conditions.

The correct choice of coastal, or innland areas increase our chances of finding clear sky for you, becuase climate is often very different around west coast comparing to innland areas, or even with climate in Finland.

All locations are beautiful, yet very different.

Fjords around west coast are only 1 hour away with average temperature during coldest vinter period of -5/-10 degrees Celsius.

Innland areas and particurarly Finland (and border) are further away from Gulf stream(which makes coast warmer) and that is the reason why we can experience temperatures colder than minus 20 degrees Celsius in Finland, where we drive regurarly ; whenever weather forecast require that.

Therefore, we are one of very few providers who offers to our custommers heatet minibus at all times (for your rest, sleep, or just to get bit warmer=).
