Come with us for your Aurora hunt for an amazing and ethical experience underneath the Aurora Borealis. Leave the light pollution in Tromsø behind and travel into the Arctic wilderness. During this activity, our small team of Aurora guides check the forecasts & use local knowledge to decide on the best place to chase the Northern Lights. When we find the best spot we will dress in warm thermal suits and boots, make a cosy campfire, and enjoy a homemade meal.
You'll be shown how to use your camera, photograph the Aurora, and our guides will take photos of you, which are provided for free in web-sized resolution after the tour.
Relax by the fire with hot chocolate before being returned back to Tromsø island to your hotel. Though there is never a guarantee of seeing this phenomenon, our experienced team of Aurora Hunters will do their best, every night of the season.

The weather was so cloudy and we were told the tour guides would do everything they could to have us see the lights! They delivered!! We saw them out of nowhere! I was super lucky to have seen them and these tour guides made it possible! Would highly recommend!!

Fantastic trip for viewing the Northern Lights. The trip started in Norway but due to weather conditions, it was determined that the best chances were to drive to Finland where we did see them. I can't say enough about how great Bart, the tour guide was. He was knowledgeable, funny and best off all, very attentive and considerate to everyone. I was traveling solo and he took time and care to help me with putting on the thermal suit and boots, and then went out of his way to bring to my hotel the pair of gloves I had left on the bus. Bart was the BEST tour guide ever. Overall the tour was great, we were well taken care off, and we saw the Northern Lights! I highly recommend this company. They will do what it takes to try to get you to see the lights, and they will take good care of you.
