Budget-Friendly Northern Lights Chase – Offers an affordable way to hunt for the Northern Lights while maintaining comfort in a modern, heated bus.

Flexibility to Find Clear Skies – Our route adapts based on weather conditions, sometimes taking us inland, along the coast, or even into Finland to maximize the chances of seeing the aurora.

Transparency About Challenges – We prioritize finding clear skies over scenic locations due to increased road traffic. Stops may be alongside roads, but our goal is to provide the best possible view of the Northern Lights.

Comfort with Realistic Expectations – The bus offers warmth, though it may cool down on particularly cold nights. Guests are encouraged to dress in warm layers for added comfort.

Guided by Experts – Knowledgeable guides provide insights and help with photography, ensuring a memorable experience.

This was an amazing experience. Initially I didn’t want to pay the money to see the lights because I didn’t know if it was going to be a waste of time, but for any doubters like me trust me it’s worth it!!! The crew was super cool and funny as we boarded and headed to the spots. They told us about the process, and it was nice that they had a few teams in different areas so if one of the teams found a good spot without clouds then the other teams would head there. When we arrived at the spot our tour guide was excellent, he was informative, and told us great stories about Norway's culture, the origins of the northern lights and what’s needed to see them, he kept things interesting fun and entertaining. It was looking like we might not see the lights, then he told us a story of the Sami tribe, as it was Sami week in Norway. I went back to the bus to warm up, then other member on the bus told us the lights were showing so we all ran to see them, and it was just visible on camera and barely visible to the naked eye. Our tour guide continued to tell stories and keep the group entertain and engaged, and to be honest even without seeing the lights it would’ve been worth it, but as he was telling the story a shooting star went across the sky, and within 15 minutes the lights were out and fully visible. It truly was a magical night, and I couldn’t imagine it being with any other company. We were near another group and I don’t believe they were nearly as interactive as we were, due to our guide
Stellar experience

We had a nice tour with our guides Alex and David and our driver Bjørn. You could really feel the enthusiasm and spirits of our guides. We also got lucky and witnessed an amazing display of the Aurora. We went in with lower expectations, but got so much more. I can definitely recommend this tour. The pictures taken by the guides were also amazing. Well worth the money
Great experience

Great experience with Alex and Felix. We went upto the Findland border and waited patiently for the lights to show up, and they did. Patience is definitely required for this natural phenomena.
Incredible and unforgettable night!!

We went on the tour on the 25th of February. We were really lucky to witness a fabulous display of lights dancing in the sky. We were extremely pleased with the whole experience. Nelson is an amazing guide. He is a natural story teller even when he talks about the science behind the northern lights. He goes all out to make the experience memorable and took some fantastic photos. Our thanks also goes to Koren who also captured lovely photos and made sure we were well looked after, and to Peter who drove us safely while having to navigate icy and dark roads.
