1What the operator says
This may be the beginning of a dream come true. Look no further, or read on if you are unsure!
As some of the most experienced guides, they analyze weather predictions prior to every tour, and have close contact with a network of guides for the highest chances to see the Northern Lights. The comfortable vehicle is fully equipped with everything you may need in the Arctic, allowing the group to discover remote scenery, reaching more calm and peaceful places. Pick you is at a central location in Tromsø, allowing for more time for finding, and seeing the Aurora earlier! With no two nights the same, our enthusiasm and dedication never fades.
Upon reaching suitable skies, we will set up camp for the evening. Most of the time this is a shorter drive to the surrounding coastal islands of Tromsø, or if needed a longer drive into Finland.
