Full description
Your evening begins at our Northern Lights Safari base, where your guide—trained through our Aurora Guide Training Program—explains the plan for the night.
This moment is important: the Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon, and no one can control the final outcome. What we can guarantee is the highest possible chance by using expert knowledge, real-time cloud data, and years of experience to choose the best direction for clear skies.
We believe clear expectations make for the best experience. This is a true Arctic adventure, and each night is different. Sometimes we stay close to Tromsø, and sometimes we drive far into the fjords or even across the border to find clearer skies. To make the journey more comfortable, you’ll travel in a warm, modern vehicle with a toilet on board—a small but important comfort during a long safari night.
At our viewing location, we set up a cozy Arctic camp with hot drinks, biscuits, and thermal suits to keep you warm. Your guide shares stories, Aurora science, and behind-the-scenes glimpses from our upcoming Northern Lights Safari TV series—giving you a rare insight into the world of real Aurora hunters.
When the lights appear, your guide helps you experience the moment fully and captures professional photos of you under the Aurora. Each guest can also request our Northern Lights Safari Official Certificate, marking your achievement and welcoming you into our growing Aurora community.
Throughout the night, we adjust our position if needed, always chasing the clearest skies. Your safety, comfort, and experience are our priority. This is why travelers choose us—and why we are known as the most trusted Northern Lights company in Tromsø.
Expect an honest, well-organized, expert-led adventure where nature decides the final show, but our experience gives you the best possible chance to witness it.

We had a wonderful experience with our guide Matous and driver Thomas during the Northern Lights trip on 21st March 2026. The tour started right at 6:30 pm and continued until we returned around 3:00 am. Despite very cloudy conditions throughout the evening and night, their dedication and effort were truly commendable. They actively chased clear skies, driving us for around 5 hours from Tromsø towards the Finland border in search of better conditions — an amazing chase — and thanks to their persistence, we were still able to witness the Northern Lights. A special mention to Thomas for his excellent driving. The roads were icy and snowy, but he handled the vehicle with great skill and maintained all safety precautions throughout the journey, making us feel completely safe and comfortable. Also, a special thanks to Matous for capturing such amazing photos — both of the landscapes and of us. We really appreciate the effort and the beautiful memories you helped create. Thank you both, Matous and Thomas, for your incredible dedication and for going the extra mile (literally!) to make this experience truly memorable for us.

Absolutely incredible! Viktor and Francesca (I’m sorry if I’m spelling your name wrong) are extremely knowledgeable and friendly tour guides. Seeing the lights can be a hit or miss, but these two ensured that we had a memorable and comfortable journey nonetheless. Eventually our patience paid off and we ended up driving towards Finland to catch the lights. Viktor’s a fantastic professional photographer too. You’re in for some great memorable pictures with this tour group, 10/10 would recommend!

My wife and I booked a Northern Lights hunt while visiting Tromsø and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. Koren was very knowledgeable and constantly monitored weather conditions to take us to areas with the clearest skies. His dedication really showed as he and the driver drove us to multiple locations to maximize our chances of seeing the aurora. We were lucky enough to witness beautiful green aurora curtains and pillars dancing across the sky—an unforgettable experience. Koren also helped with photography tips so we could capture some amazing long-exposure photos. They were also very accommodating to my wife, who is pregnant, making sure she was comfortable throughout the trip and never rushing us while we enjoyed the moment. Highly recommend this experience if you’re visiting Tromsø and hoping to see the Northern Lights!
