Description
This small group tour lasts for 5-6 hours. During months with evening darkness, we are hunting clear skies within the area around Tromsø. The excursion starts at 7 p.m./19:00 and the drive can take us in all directions when heading out and away from the city lights. On some days we don´t have to go very far and can enjoy more time outdoors, while on other days we have to work a bit more and do a proper "hunt" to get what we are looking for. We do see some light on most days that we are out, but there are of course no guarantees - this is a natural phenomenon. During the evening, we make several stops to look - sometimes the lights are directly over us. Usually, if the weather and lights permit it we do a longer stop with a bonfire, a pre-prepared meal (a portion of soup/stew), and a hot drink. This is a proper small group tour with a maximum of 6 guests pr. tour this season. The night is yours! And if you want an even more intimate tour have a look at the private option.

Itinerary
Tromso
The tour starts in downtown Tromsø, in an area that is considered one of the best places to see the northern lights - directly under the northern lights oval. The main part of the tour will be spent outside Tromsø. Our favorite spots are all located by the seaside, a sea that never freezes in the north of Norway due to the Golf current. The seawater is warmer than the air most of the winter, and there are people crazy enough to go for a swim. If the weather is cloudy along the coast, we head for the inland and the mountains. The variety is what makes northern lights hunting fun, and we never know where we end up durinng the evening. The big advantage in Tromsø is that we have plenty of locations to choose from, and roads leading in all directions. We will go to wherever is safest and most likely for guests to see the Northern Lights – sometimes that is 30 min outside the city, and on other days all the way to the border with Finland roughly 2,5 hours drive from Tromsø.
