  1. From Tromsø: Northern Lights Trip with Included Photos

  Hop aboard a minibus and chase the spectacular Northern Lights with an experienced guide. Marvel at the rugged beauty of the Arctic as you explore.

  After pickup in the city center, head towards the mountains, fjords, and valleys. Take the route best suited to the weather conditions with clear skies.

  With the expertise of your guide, pursue the Northern Lights, sometimes as far as the Finnish and Swedish borders. Enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime experience and savor the immense beauty of your surroundings.

  Keep your energy up with some hot drinks and snacks, and prepare to take lots of photos on the trip. The guide will also take photos and share them with the group after the trip.

  This was one of the most amazing experience I have ever had. The guides were very knowledgable and knew exactly where to go and stop for the best chance to see the lights. We were incredibly lucky that the lights were so active the night we went and the guides ‘chased’ them ensuring we had plenty of opportunities to see them & take pictures. The guide took outstanding pictures and emailed them to me a few days after the tour and helped us get the best possible pictures on our phones. At the end of the night we had hotdogs and marshmallows by the campfire which was nice. They also provided plenty of drinks/snacks along the way and polar suits which meant we stayed warm. The guides were lovely and there was a good atmosphere on the bus with plenty of music/chatting and it was comfortable. Couldn’t recommend enough especially for the price compared to others!

  2. Tromsø: Small-Group Northern Lights Tour

  Begin by being picked up from your accommodation in the city center or the tour meeting point. From there, your guide provides you with information about the weather, the lights' activity, your chances for the evening, and expectations to see the lights on that particular night. From there you are taken to a location most suited to the evening's conditions. Groups are sometimes required to travel deep into Finland in order to find a good spot, so remember to take your passport with you. Once you have reached your chosen location, your guides set up a bonfire before helping you with your camera, setting it up to best capture the Northern lights. Throughout your tour, your guides also serve you hot chocolate and snacks. Later, enjoy a picnic-style barbecue during which you enjoy traditional Norwegian fiskekake (fish burgers), or sausages with tortilla bread. Make the most of thi...

  The guide was helpful and really passionate about the northern lights and northern Norway in general, he made us feel that we didn’t need to hesitate about asking anything. We had a northern lights parade this night as well.Recommend this trip 100%.

  Fantastic day at the Arctic Adventure. The huskies were so friendly and cute. The sled ride was awesome (the perfect weather conditions was no disadvantage of course!). We really enjoyed Hege's chocolate cake and coffee, and otherwise her warm hospitality. We also had a good briefing of the huskies and what they do during the different seasons. Thanks for a wonderful day!

  4. Tromsø: Whale Watching Tour by Hybrid-Electric Catamaran

  Depart from Tromsø in the morning, and head out to where the whales are in time to enjoy the short hours of daylight. On the way, take in the breathtaking views of frozen landscapes in comfortable, panoramic lounges, and multi-level decks. Find a selection of food and drinks for purchase on board. The boat uses a hybrid engine to reach the whale’s feeding grounds. As you near the whales the captain will switch to a silent electric engine that allows you to get close without disturbing them. Please note that the duration of this trip depends on the whales’ location and can, therefore, range from 6 to 8 hours. There’s no guarantee, but the tour operator will always do their best to see the whales.

  Excellent experience.. we could see the Orcas, the humpbacks and many more sea birds very close and for a long time.. it was a very exciting day.. Very good service from Catamaran..5⭐️

  6. Tromso: 4x4 Small Group Northern Lights Photography Tour

  Prior to every tour your experienced guides will have analysed weather predictions for the best chances of seeing the Northern Lights. With no two nights the same, your guides' enthusiasm and dedication never fades. Drive out into beautiful remote scenery in a custom built 4x4 tour van. Most of the time this is a shorter drive to the surrounding coastal islands of Tromsø, or if needed a longer drive into Finland. Upon reaching suitable skies, you will set up camp for the evening. Some nights the Northern Lights are visible en-route to location, and can last throughout the evening. Other nights require patience and positivity to witness a faint glow across the horizon. Even though the Aurora appears most nights, no forecast can predict what you are going to see, and it's all about taking chances. Staying comfortable on an Arctic winters night is essential. Warm up around the roaring ca...

  Me and my girlfriend had an amazing experience. Hannah and Jeff did an incredible job from start to finish and we really had a good time. I highly recommend going with Hannah and Jeff for this magical experience.
