Northern Lights Chase

Book tourBook tour

Tromsø is one of the best place in the world to see the Northern Lights. Tromsø is located right in the middle of the so-called Aurora Oval, which means that we can see the Aurora even when the activity is low. 

On this tour you will be accompanied by our best northern lights guide and a certified driver in a warm comfortable bus. Our northern lights tours are conducted as a chase, according to our experience that gives you the best chances of seeing the northern lights. Our guides will use their knowledge, the latest weather forecast update, and work in team with our drivers who know road conditions very well to calculate the best route for the night.

Apart from deciding where to go, one of the main job of our guides it is to take photos of you, and preferably with the Aurora in the background. So if you do not have a camera you will still take some photos home. Our guides have a lot of experience in catching the Northern Lights on camera, and can show you the right camera settings, give helpful tips and tell you all about the Northern Lights.

From the 1st of November, the meeting place for the Northern Lights Chase will be inside the building Prostneset (at the main entrance downstairs and close to the bus terminal). Address: Samuel Arnesens gate 5, 9008 Tromsø. The bus is marked with Arctic Guide Service.
