Imagine standing beneath a star-filled Arctic sky, the air crisp, the snow crunching under your feet and the Northern Lights dancing above — sometimes calm, sometimes wild. This is the adventure we set out to find together.

Our small-group tour in Tromsø, limited to 19 guests, is led by a local guide and an experienced Arctic driver. Each evening is unique as we adapt to the night’s conditions, driving along the coast, through valleys, or even to Finland in search of clear skies.

When the aurora appears, your guide takes professional photos of you under the lights and shares photography tips. During the tour, you’ll also hear stories of Arctic life and the science behind the aurora while enjoying hot drinks, a light snack, and homemade cake. When conditions are right, we light a cozy bonfire.

Every Northern Lights display is unique — always unforgettable.

We look forward to sharing this Arctic adventure with you.
