Join this northern lights chase to maximize your chances of seeing the world’s most spectacular light show. On board the bus there will be one professional driver and one experienced Northern Lights guide. They are passionately committed to choosing the best spot based on the weather forecast, that maximizes the options of seeing the aurora. The guide will provide you with information about camera settings and helpful tips, so when the lights appear you can capture the perfect Northern Lights picture. The guide will also take pictures during the excursion so you can have a souvenir to bring home.
It is important to mention that the northern lights are a natural phenomenon and it can't be guaranteed that they will be seen.
The meeting place from the 1st of November for the English tour will be inside the building Prostneset (at the main entrance downstairs and close to the bus terminal).

We got really lucky and saw the lights on full display at both our stops. We had ample time at both well chosen locations to take in the scenery and enjoy the experience. Our guides Alberto and Elizabeth were really kind and helpful (especially with my camera which wasn't working particularly well!). The hot drinks and snacks were welcome and the whole evening was magical.

The experience is inexplanable. We got lucky that we’re able to see Northern Lights. It was a successful trip with friends as we have always wanted to go to Norway for a long time. Thank you to the team specially Eli and Alberto for taking great photos. The only issue that we had is the operator didnt give a contact number to call aside from online messages. It will be helpful to provide contact info as this will be easier for customers to reach out.

Average trip. Tried spotting the aurora in a few places (did not have much luck). Driver was good. Tour guide was okay, a bit rough tbh. When sky started clearing, had to head back to Tromso.
