An out of the ordinary Northern Lights tour!
Are you fit and confident in walking on ice and snow and want to reach the most scenic spots in a small, dynamic group?
Using a 4x4 Toyota Land Cruiser, we will reach the best areas with suitable skies to chase the Aurora Borealis.
If the weather conditions allow, we may set off on a light hike/snowshoe walk, reaching pristine landscapes, calm fjords, frozen lakes and the best spots that the Arctic has to offer away from the crowds.
Whether the ground will be covered in ice or snow, you will be provided with ice crampons or snow rackets, walking poles, thermal suits as well as foot and hand warmers. Remember to wear your own warm snow boots!
Your guide will take photos of you and the lights, but if you have a camera as well, bring it along! You'll get tips on how to take your own Aurora photographs and use a professional tripod.
A soup for dinner, cookies and hot drinks will warm us up in the wild, while enjoying the night Arctic sky!

Nico is the absolute expert you need if you're chasing the Northern Lights in Tromsø! My experience was truly surreal. Nico knows all the prime viewing spots and exactly how to position you for the best display. The ribbons of green, pink, and purple dancing across the sky were pure magic. If you want bucket-list photos of the Northern Lights, book with Nico! He doesn't just guide you; he actively helps you capture the magic perfectly. The whole experience was unforgettable and we got amazing, photogenic results.

It’s our dream to see the Northern Light and we came all the way from Singapore to Tromsø. We wanted a small group tour for more intimate experience, far from the madding crowd. Nico has made all the efforts to make an unforgettable experience for our family of 3. Grazie Mille Nico! Tussen Tak! PS: the cookies are very nice!

Amazing experience to chase the Northern Lights. Small group of six means it’s more personal (we also did a minibus tour with another company and this was notches above). The guide paid attention to every small detail from thermal suits to head torches to camp fire, hot chocolate and reindeer stew. He chose a beautiful area with a lake which added stunning reflections to the photos. He provided useful information and judged the time and place well. His professional photos came out thoroughly impressive. He was good with my 9 year old child which was important as I know some tours don’t accommodate younger kids. Would highly recommend.

We took two trips with Nico and they were fantastic! We did the day tour visiting islands and the Northern Lights Tour at night. This guide is truly passionate about what he does and cared so very much about his customers and if they are happy. He is very knowledgeable about the area! I must have asked hundreds of questions and he could answer them all. The days with Nico were magical and he took so so many great pictures for us to own/keep. BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY! You will not be disappointed! Kimberly and Stephan from Germany

We had bad weather in Tromsø, but Nico went above and beyond and drove us all the way to Finland to find clear skies. He truly gave his all to bring us to a location with a beautiful landscape, no crowds, and the perfect conditions. It was a long night, but absolutely worth the wait — we witnessed an incredible aurora explosion that was simply unforgettable. I would book with Nico again without hesitation — a 100% five-star experience! Thank you!

From the start, even before I arrived in Tromso, Nico was always responsive to my queries on the correct equipment to bring. During the tour, he is always checking on everyone to ensure they are warm enough. He definitely goes to offroad places where you get the quiet away from the bigger tour groups. Would definately reccomend if your looking for an intimate Northern lights tour.
