Northern Lights Chase
Chasing the Northern Lights in Tromsø
Join an exciting hunt for the spectacular northern lights. Maybe you will capture the perfect aurora photo too. You will be accompanied by our top aurora guide and a certified driver in a warm, comfortable coach. Using knowledge, experience, and the latest weather forecasts, together with drivers who know local road conditions, our team chooses the best route for the night.
In addition to planning where we go, one of your guide’s main tasks is to take photos of you, preferably with the aurora in the background. If you do not have a camera, you will still receive some photos. Our guides have long experience photographing the northern lights and can show you the right camera settings, share useful tips, and explain the science behind the aurora.
