The Experience
Your night begins with a private pickup from your accommodation in Tromsø. Step into your own modern heated 4x4 minivan, where your personal guide — also your photographer — welcomes you.
Throughout the night, our back office coordinates live updates from 150+ team members and family across Lapland. This unique network ensures we always know where skies are clear. If conditions shift, we move too — sometimes across borders — until the Aurora appears.
Tromsø’s location above the Arctic Circle makes it one of the world’s best-known places to see the Northern Lights. Surrounded by fjords, mountains, and islands, it offers dramatic Arctic scenery as the backdrop for your chase. With our unlimited mileage and flexible routes, we often cross borders towards clearer skies — where others won’t go.
And when the Northern Lights appear, you’ll stand beneath the Arctic night sky while your guide captures professional DSLR photos just for you. Warm drinks, light snacks, and thermal clothing keep you safe and comfortable, even in –40°C.
Most other tours last 3–4 hours. We stay out as long as it takes — usually 6–10 hours — until you succeed.
