1What the operator says
Join a dynamic Northern Lights chase from Tromsø where your entire evening is dedicated to maximizing your chances of seeing the Aurora. This is not a fixed-route tour; instead, your expert guides use constantly updated weather and solar activity reports to find the clearest skies and most active lights. Your itinerary is 100% flexible, meaning you'll travel wherever the data leads, whether that's one perfect spot or several locations. You won't just see the lights—you'll learn how to capture them. A professional photographer is on your tour to help you get the most out of your own camera and will also take an optional professional portrait of you with the Aurora. Please be aware that if you are booking between April 15th and 20th, your tour will be affected by increasing daylight hours. Even on clear skies, the Northern Lights may not appear as strong as they do during the deep winter, and your tour duration may be shorter during this specific period.
