Join us to chase the Northern Lights this winter! Tour starts in our shop with a brief Aurora lesson, tour forecasting and safety briefing. You will drive between 40 mins-2,5 hrs depending on the weather conditions for that night. Your guide will set up a Norwegian campfire with reindeer pelts somewhere close to nature, with low light pollution and in the place with the most favourable conditions to see the aurora that night. Your guide will host you under the Arctic sky and will capture your Arctic memories on camera. After a long night, you will be dropped off at your central hotel.
Eco-friendly tour With reusable mugs, wooden stirring sticks, plastic free food packaging and a fire pit, we make sure that the only footprints we leave behind are in the snow!
The meeting point is our cozy Northern Norway Travel Shop at 18:00 (6:00pm) in the city centre: ground floor of Tromso Havn Prostneset (opposite Clarion The Edge), Samuel Arnesens Gate 5. Drop-off after the tour is included at any central hotel, which can be selected in your booking.
As we are in the Arctic please wear all your warmest clothes - layers are going to be key! We recommend using wool underlayers, wool socks, a good winter coat, warm boots, gloves/mittens and a hat. Thermal suits will be provided to wear on top.
Please bring:
Some water in a reusable bottle and your camera.
