Join an accessible Northern Lights tour from Tromsø, where the route and stops are planned according to the weather conditions that evening. The aim is to find clear skies and favourable conditions for seeing the Northern Lights.
The tour travels by minibus, and your guide will explain what you can expect from the evening along the way.
Searching for the Northern Lights
Your guide will share stories, myths and facts about the Northern Lights and explain how the phenomenon occurs, why it appears in different shapes and colours, and where it can be visible.
You will also receive tips on how to take your own Northern Lights photos. When conditions allow, the guide will take portrait photos and photos of the Northern Lights during the tour.
The Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon, and the possibility of seeing them depends on the conditions that evening. Sightings therefore cannot be guaranteed.
A warm meal beneath the Arctic night sky
During the evening, the group will find a suitable place for a break with a warm meal and hot drinks such as tea, coffee and hot chocolate.
When conditions allow, a campfire will also be lit. Blankets are available for extra warmth.
