Info

Description

This is a fully inclusive northern lights chase! As night falls over the Arctic landscape, we embark on a journey to witness the Aurora Borealis. Tromsø, right inside the auroral oval, offers one of the best locations on Earth for this celestial show.

We drive away from the city lights to remote spots with optimal viewing conditions. Our modern minibuses provide a cosy sanctuary as you travel through the Arctic wilderness — enjoy hot beverages, a warm dinner and a campfire while anticipating the northern lights.

Our passionate guides share captivating tales about the science and folklore of the aurora. When it appears, take your time to soak in the moment while your guide captures unforgettable pictures and portraits of you, and helps you with your own camera or phone.
