That’s why we can chase aurora again and again with hope that tonight it will be surprising and colorful as never before.

With our two full frame cameras will are ready to take portraits of you with northern lights in the background, plus northern lights and scenery photos.

Take advantage of our 10 years of Aurora chasing experiences. Our friedly and knowledgeable guide will drive with you up to 250 kilometers from Tromso in order to find for you the best possible weather conditions. Once, after finding good weather location, our mission is to take nice portraits of you and Aurora, scenic photos and possibly timelapse/video, which we gladly share with you the very next day. For your comfort during every tour are icluded; our winter dresses, camp fire, tripod chairs with small reindeer skins, hot drinks served with muffins and fruits and camera tripods for DSLR and mirrorless cameras. For our custommers who wish to rest little bit, we gladly keep heated minibus at all times (new minibus Mercedes Sprinter). Our regular tours are usually 6-9 hours long depending on weather conditions and aurora activity. Arrival times to Tromsø depends alot on distance which we had to cover during our chase, and it could vary from night to night; between 1-3am.
Tromsø fjords, mountains and journey to Finland are most frequent locations and directions, where we are chasing northern lights and best possible weather conditions. The correct choice of coastal, or innland areas increase our chances of finding clear sky for you, becuase climate is often very different around west coast comparing to innland areas, or even with climate in Finland. All locations are beautiful, yet very different. Fjords around west coast are only 1 hour away with average temperature during coldest vinter period of -5/-10 degrees Celsius. Innland areas and particurarly Finland (and border) are further away from Gulf stream(which makes coast warmer) and that is the reason why we can experience temperatures colder than minus 20 degrees Celsius in Finland, where we drive regurarly ; whenever weather forecast require that. Therefore, we are one of very few providers who offers to our custommers heatet minibus at all times (for your rest, sleep, or just to get bit warmer=).

Daniel was an amazing guide, as always the Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon that cannot be controlled but Daniel makes it a point to ensure the best possible chance to catch it. His experience, efforts, patience and attention to detail made it an enjoyable experience in spite of the weather conditions. Thank you, Daniel!
The night I booked this northern lights hunt was very cloudy, it was really not a sure thing, Daniel worked hard to find us an area without clouds and we were able to enjoy this incredible spectacle.
We joined the aurora tour on 10 Sept. Daniel is very experienced and knowledgeable tour guide. He gave us the aurora updates and brought us to chase the aurora all the way. We are very lucky just started autumn seasons we managed to see the dancing aurora.
Daniel was the most amazing guide we could have asked for. We did not have the budget to go on multiple tours, so we selected Flexitour, because Daniel will move you to another day with a good forecast if possible. This is exactly what happened. Not only did Daniel move our tour to a clear night with the most incredible Aurora displays, he went above and beyond to make it work with our travel plans. He offered us the change when he received the forecast shortly before we boarded our flight into Tromso. He picked us up directly from the airport, gave us food, water, tea and hot chocolate (we were not expecting to go on the tour when we were preparing for the flight earlier in the day so we were quite hungry and thirsty) and dropped us directly to our accomodation at the end of the tour because we had luggage with us. He was a positive, kind and considerate person who was a joy to be around during the tour. Do not book with anyone else.
To begin with it is a minibus, it is excellent because we are a small group, second Daniel super attentive, explaining everything, trying to see the Northern Lights, we crossed border to Finland, and we arrived at a place without light, complete darkness, we managed to see a little the Northern Lights, but there was not much activity. We bought another tour with it because we loved the attitude, the tea and the chocolate very rich. He's got muffins, fruit and water on board. It also gives you a winter suit, and takes professional photos.
Danielle is very friendly and professional. Due to extreme bad weather in Tromso , he managed to drive us to Finland and found a clear sky to watch the Green Lady. He kept us updated during the ride on the probability of seeing the aurora. He took picture for us and time lapse videos that we can download later. He is very thoughtful with plenty of fruits and muffins provided to his guests. He is really concerned about the safety of his guests. Instead of dropping us at the standard drop off points , he drove everyone back to their Airbnb which is greatly appreciated especially during a cold and rainy night which isn’t easy to get a taxi. One of the guests had joined Danielle’s tour for 3 nights in a row, I am sure he is very happy with his service. I would highly recommend Flexitour .
We are 4 60+ couples on a birthday celebration trip. We booked a private tour with a 16-seater bus as we expected to travel up to a total of 4-5 hours. The communication pre-trip with Daniel and Stine was smooth and timely, we were well preparec in advance. Daniel picked us up at our accommodation, and decided where we’d go based on consultations with the apps and his friend guides. After about 90 mins we parked at a deserted spot, where the sky started to clear and the aurora started to show. Daniel set up his camera for time lap photos, and then us for portraits with the aurora. Afterwards he made a little campfire so that we kept warm, and gave us hot chocolate and tea. After about 2 hours the aurora was getting weaker so we set off for back to Tromso. He was still hoping we’d get some more - and alas, after about 15 minutes driving he saw new activity, so we stopped and saw the aurora dancing!! It was magical, Daniel the drove us back, and then sent us the photos and videos the next day.
10/10 THE BEST TOUR EVER. It was just perfect. Amazing Northern Lights experience with Daniel! His communication was excellent from the start, and he was very flexible with last-minute adjustments based on the forecast to give us the best chance of seeing the aurora. The small group (only 8 people) made the experience very comfortable and personal. He prepared everything—thermal suits, chairs, snacks, drinks, and even a fire—so we could stay warm while waiting. Throughout the night he kept us updated on the aurora conditions and shared interesting local stories. What really stood out was his dedication. He made sure we stayed long enough to catch the best lights, and when we spotted more aurora on the drive back, he immediately turned around and rushed us back up the mountain so we could see even more. Super professional and genuinely such a nice guy. If you’re planning a Northern Lights tour in Tromsø, I 1000% recommend joining Daniel!
We had the best time with Daniel! He is very kind and very knowledgeable. Before the tour we booked, Daniel contacted us as he thought the date we chose was not ideal and offered to change the date to a better one. During the tour Daniel was amazing very informative very nice. We were able to see amazing Norther lights. He took us to the right spot. He kept track of the conditions to make sure we were at the right place at the right time. We were so happy that we decided to book it again and that gave us even more spectacular viewing.
Daniel is so popular in Korean tourists. I visited Tromso in Feb with my daughter. She really wanted to see the Aurora. It was perfect night with clear skies and Daniel knows best place to see the Aurora. He was so kind and told us a lot of interesting stories about Aurora and Sami people. We saw the Aurora vividly and its magnitude was about 6 or 7. We saw the pink color and Aurora dancing😊 Perfect night and lifelong memories with my daughter. I surely recommend his tour!
