What To Expect

Troms

Troms is one of the best places in the world to experience the spectacular Northern Lights, Aurora borealis. We will do our best to find the best spots. Remember that Aurora Borealis, Northern Lights are natural phenomena caused by solar wind and cannot be guaranteed or predicted. Even if the Northern Lights don’t appear, the experience of being in the Arctic wilderness is magical.

4 hours • Admission Not Applicable

Troms

To experience the Northern Lights you must be outside for long periods in cold winter conditions. Therefore, it is recommended to wear very warm layers, preferably wool, and winter boots. We have some thermal overalls and snow boots for borrowing. Please note that the photos often show the colors of the Northern Lights as being stronger than what is seen with the eye.

Trygve is a true local and absolute pleasure to tour with, we chatted most of the way there and back and I learnt much about Tromso and Norway. Was lucky to be in a very small group of lovely people and YES we saw lady aurora when expectations were not high, we left snow and clouds behind, Trygve made me feel safe given the avalanche warnings and assured us it was safety first and we would not drive if not safe, I felt better with a local and not going too far yet still achieved amazing results. Trygve also made a small camp fire in the snow for us to keep warm, amazing, I had never seen this! For those that could participate (I am gluten and dairy free and chose not to share) there was also warm juice and sweet treats. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Trygve again, and in fact he might have convinced me to come back in the summer 😊😊
Wonderful tour, highly recommended

There are several tours available in Tromso and it is very difficult to choose one. I been there. Lukely I chose Tromso Travel and I would never been happier. It is a small tour, finely organize by a wonderful couple that really do their best to make you feel at home and ensury you can see the Aurora. When I had my tour the Northern Light forecast was not the best, but thanks to Trygve expertise I was able to see it. Super glad to them both for the wonderful night I spend with them. Super recommended!
Highly recommended activities

A very good experience, the tour leader tried very hard to help us find the route to the Aurora. He was very considerate and helped us take very beautiful photos, which touched us very much. If we come to Norway again, we will definitely look for this group. We are very grateful for their care and guidance. We saw the Northern Lights for the first time and were very happy.
Must join!!!

Super amazing experience. Mr. T (the tour guide) is super caring, friendly and professional. The snacks and drinks provided are sooooooo tasty. It’s great to enjoy a hot drink under the cold. initally, we thought we were not able to see the northern light because the weather was super bad (heavy snow and rain). But Mr. T still brought us to the countryside to chase the northern light. And we were super lucky!!! We saw aurora twice!!!! It was really sooooooo stunning, beautiful, amazing, wonderful.
