5.00This experience with Chasing Lights was just awesome. We were able to see the Northern Lights all evening. The minibus principle allows for a slightly more privileged moment. Special mention to Irene who is full of energy and who took great pictures. Thank you!

5.00Our family had a great time on Northern Light chase tour. Our guide Ivana was superb along with our bus driver Brian and extra guide Alex (LOL). Both Ivana and Alex shared all the pictures they took; the pictures were amazing. Ivana came fully prepared, engaged entire group to make it a fun and enjoyable trip.

5.00Having flown more than 20 hours from Asia to Norway especially to catch the northern lights, this tour did not disappoint. Despite the worries from the constant cloud cover and rainy days in tromso, our experienced guides’ (Alex, Ivanna, and driver Pawel) spirits remained high and optimistic. We persisted, eventually drove into Finland and we were rewarded with the majestic dancing lights in the night sky. The enthusiasm from the guides was infectious! With the stories around the camp fire, the warm dinner and drinks - this was truly a once in a lifetime experience. Thank you!
A bucket list experience

5.00This was such an amazing experience. It’s a night to always remember. We drove all the way to Finland to make sure we got the best view of the lights - and we sure did. We saw the northern light dancing in the sky. Alex and our driver Marcin were amazing. Special shoutout to Alex for constantly checking in on everyone and taking jaw dropping photos. He’s a professional photographer and I love how passionate he is with the northern lights. You can ask him any questions! My one recommendation for people booking the tour - make sure you wear plenty of cloth especially for your feet! It was negative 6 degree Celsius when we visited end of October.
Great experience

5.00Great experience with Chasing Lights! The tour is well organized, with Brian the driver and Irene the guide. Irene is enthusiastic and passionate, she knows her subject well. Lucky, on arrival, the Northern Lights were already there!! Irene made lots of photos, couples, solo, etc., and photos of the lights alone, so we had a great memory once we got home. The meal around the campfire completes the experience very pleasantly.

Magical Northern Lights Night with Irene and Brian

5.00We had an absolutely incredible Northern Lights experience with our guide Irene and our driver Brian. It was a spectacular night with very active aurora, and Irene captured breathtaking photos for us. She knew exactly how to guide us into the right positions, find the best angles, and direct each shot — every picture turned out amazing. Irene also explained everything clearly: where we were, how the aurora works, and even how to recognize stars and use them to orient ourselves in the sky. It felt personal and special, not just a standard tour. Both Irene and Brian were always attentive and genuinely caring about our comfort and safety throughout the night. Thank you so much, Irene and Brian, for an unforgettable experience.
