The Experience
Your night begins with a pickup in Tromsø. Step into a modern heated van, where your small group (max 8-20 guests) is welcomed by your professional guide — also your dedicated photographer.
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 under the Arctic night sky while your guide captures professional DSLR photos. Warm drinks, light snacks, and thermal clothing keep you safe and comfortable, even in –40°C.
Most other tours on the market last 3–4 hours. We stay out as long as it takes — usually 6–10 hours — until you succeed.
