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.

What To Expect
Tromso
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 your comfort during every tour are icluded; our winter dresses, camp fire, tripod chairs with small reindeer skins, hot drinks served with muffins and fruits and camera tripods for DSLR and mirrorless cameras. 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
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=).

5.00To begin with it is a minibus, it is excellent because we are a small group, second Daniel super attentive, explaining everything, trying to see the Northern Lights, we crossed border to Finland, and we arrived at a place without light, complete darkness, we managed to see a little the Northern Lights, but there was not much activity. We bought another tour with it because we loved the attitude, the tea and the chocolate very rich. He's got muffins, fruit and water on board. It also gives you a winter suit, and takes professional photos.
Very happy with Flexitour NL chasing tour

5.00Danielle is very friendly and professional. Due to extreme bad weather in Tromso , he managed to drive us to Finland and found a clear sky to watch the Green Lady. He kept us updated during the ride on the probability of seeing the aurora. He took picture for us and time lapse videos that we can download later. He is very thoughtful with plenty of fruits and muffins provided to his guests. He is really concerned about the safety of his guests. Instead of dropping us at the standard drop off points , he drove everyone back to their Airbnb which is greatly appreciated especially during a cold and rainy night which isn’t easy to get a taxi. One of the guests had joined Danielle’s tour for 3 nights in a row, I am sure he is very happy with his service. I would highly recommend Flexitour .
Magical experience with a very caring guide

5.00We are 4 60+ couples on a birthday celebration trip. We booked a private tour with a 16-seater bus as we expected to travel up to a total of 4-5 hours. The communication pre-trip with Daniel and Stine was smooth and timely, we were well preparec in advance. Daniel picked us up at our accommodation, and decided where we’d go based on consultations with the apps and his friend guides. After about 90 mins we parked at a deserted spot, where the sky started to clear and the aurora started to show. Daniel set up his camera for time lap photos, and then us for portraits with the aurora. Afterwards he made a little campfire so that we kept warm, and gave us hot chocolate and tea. After about 2 hours the aurora was getting weaker so we set off for back to Tromso. He was still hoping we’d get some more - and alas, after about 15 minutes driving he saw new activity, so we stopped and saw the aurora dancing!! It was magical, Daniel the drove us back, and then sent us the photos and videos the next day.
10/10 the best tour ever

5.0010/10 THE BEST TOUR EVER. It was just perfect. Amazing Northern Lights experience with Daniel! His communication was excellent from the start, and he was very flexible with last-minute adjustments based on the forecast to give us the best chance of seeing the aurora. The small group (only 8 people) made the experience very comfortable and personal. He prepared everything—thermal suits, chairs, snacks, drinks, and even a fire—so we could stay warm while waiting. Throughout the night he kept us updated on the aurora conditions and shared interesting local stories. What really stood out was his dedication. He made sure we stayed long enough to catch the best lights, and when we spotted more aurora on the drive back, he immediately turned around and rushed us back up the mountain so we could see even more. Super professional and genuinely such a nice guy. If you’re planning a Northern Lights tour in Tromsø, I 1000% recommend joining Daniel!

5.00We had the best time with Daniel! He is very kind and very knowledgeable. Before the tour we booked, Daniel contacted us as he thought the date we chose was not ideal and offered to change the date to a better one. During the tour Daniel was amazing very informative very nice. We were able to see amazing Norther lights. He took us to the right spot. He kept track of the conditions to make sure we were at the right place at the right time. We were so happy that we decided to book it again and that gave us even more spectacular viewing.

5.00Daniel is so popular in Korean tourists. I visited Tromso in Feb with my daughter. She really wanted to see the Aurora. It was perfect night with clear skies and Daniel knows best place to see the Aurora. He was so kind and told us a lot of interesting stories about Aurora and Sami people. We saw the Aurora vividly and its magnitude was about 6 or 7. We saw the pink color and Aurora dancing😊 Perfect night and lifelong memories with my daughter. I surely recommend his tour!
Dazzling dancing aurora.

5.00Daniel was so so thoughtful and an amazing guide. He was so keen to give us the best experience and he did not fail. Whilst other tour operators were taking their guests home he checked the forecast and said we would be in for a great aurora. When it came it was amazing and we even stopped one last time and caught another set of dazzling and dancing lights.
The best!

5.00Trust me, this is the best investment of your trip; it's worth every penny. Daniel is passionate about what he does and will try his best to show you the best Aurora experience you can have. We made 4 stops, went all the way to the Finland border, the tour lasted 9 hours, and we were graced more than once with the spectacle of nature. Nature plays a part, but without an excellent guide, knowledgeable and passionate about his work, this wouldn't be possible. Daniel was very kind and ensured our safety, heated transport all night, warm clothes, food, hot drinks, incredible photos and videos, and bathroom breaks. You can book this tour with the certainty that it will be your best experience in Tromsø.
Awesome tour

Amazing Northern Lights

5.00We had a fantastic experience with Daniel our guide. He was very informative about how the Aurora may happen, how the systems work and how it is updated for 40 minutes only. He read the sky so well stopping to explain what might happen and he was 100% right. We sat around a lovely fire warming ourselves with hot drinks, muffins and fruit, which were on offer all the time. We were given warm suits to keep warm. Even on the way back he stopped the bus for us to see the amazing lights now coming from the south I would highly recommend this tour with Daniel/ Flexi tours.
