Chase the Northern Lights with your friends and family
Learn how to take pictures of the Northern Lights
Capture the magic of the Aurora to remember forever

Full description

Drive along beautiful fjords, mountains and lakes on an exciting chase for the elusive Northern Lights. Enjoy having your private minivan just for you and your partner, family, or friends. Learn how to take pictures of the Aurora, and (weather and energy permitting), capture the magic Aurora in photographs. You'll be picked up from your accommodation in Tromsø and set out for a 6-hour excursion in search of this beautiful natural phenomenon. One night, this might take you to the Finnish border while another evening the forecast will show clear skies on the Fjords at the west of Tromsø—you'll be taken where the chances for clear skies are highest. Around Tromsø at 69.43 degrees latitude North, if you can see stars in the sky, you can see the Northern Lights. Once your driver takes you to clear skies, it's just about patiently waiting with some tea, coffee, and muffins until a quiet Aurora, a strong Aurora, or a super strong Aurora strikes. Your instructor will show you how to best capture it so that you can take the memory of this amazing sight home with you.

You will be informed about your chances before departure and if the chances are minimal and you don't want to take the chance, the tour can be postponed or cancelled with 100% refund. If you decide to drive after having heard that the chances are very low and there is no success, no refund will be made.

Sanda was an excellent guide giving us lots of information about Norway as he drove. He was friendly and chatty and also a very safe driver. We were lucky enough to have a fantastic view of the northern lights and Sanders knowledge and expertise as a photographer meant we were able to take some amazing photographs which wouldn’t have happened without his help. He really knows his way around cameras.
